iPad Ordered

/ Paul / 10 Comments

The pre-orders for the iPad began this morning at 8:30 AM Eastern time. I was planning on being one of the first but I was in a meeting. So it wasn’t until about 10:30 that I was able to pre-order my iPad. Which one did I order?

I ordered the iPad with wi-fi and 3G connectivity. I got the 64 GB model. I also ordered the dock and an extra power adapter. Of course I had to get the top of the line, right? Good thing my tax refund came in. It will cover the cost. Plus I have a gift card left over from the holidays.

Now I just have to wait until the end of April for the iPad to be shipped. If I had gotten the wi-fi model, I could pick it up at the Apple store on April 3rd. But no, I have to wait until the end of April. I’m ready to wait but of course I want it now. Anyone else order one today?

Apple iPad

Apple has done it. Today Steve Jobs was back to introduce the iPad. It was good to see him back at it. I wonder if this might be his last “big thing”. I think the iPad falls between the iPod Touch and the MacBook. It’s bigger and better than an iPod Touch but smaller and not as powerful as a full size computer. I think it’s amazing. Of course I want one.

I’m sure you’ve already read or heard about all the things it can do and what features it has so I won’t go over them here. You can always head over to Apple and read about them for yourself. Or watch the video about it, it’s pretty cool. I will say though that I’m a little disappointed that it doesn’t have a camera built in. I like all the other features though. The size of the screen is perfect. I think it’s time I give up my Kindle and get the iPad. I have the iPod Touch but the screen is too small to do all things I want to do with it. I barely use it anymore. This screen is the right size to do what I want to do on the go. There is a version that offers the 3G option but I won’t pay a monthly service fee for that. I’ll rely on the wifi for online things.

They aren’t available yet but by the time they are, I might have my tax refund back and able to buy one. We’ll see.

Apple introduces a bunch of new things today. The one that excited me most was the new 27″ iMac. It’s huge, fast, fancy, and cool. If I hadn’t of just gotten one last March, I’d be ordering one right now! Isn’t it beautiful?

Look what I ordered today! Apple introduced updated Nanos and iPod Touches and a new version of iTunes. I love the new features of the Nano….you can shoot video with it! And it has a microphone….well for the video of course…but also for recording voice memos like podcasts! I might have to check it out and see how it works. I ordered a green one today and it says it will be delivered within 5 days. Yay!
