I officially ordered my iPad 2 Wifi 32gb Black on June 8th, 2011, with an estimated shipping date of June 22 and estimated delivery date of June 28th. Its a long time to wait, but its the only way ill get one in my area for a while. I have noticed that some people are getting their iPad's a week earlier than the shipping/delivery dates say, how common is this?

You may be surprised I got mine a full 12 days sooner than they estimated. Still waiting on the smart cover but so glad I got the iPad first lol. It has hardly been out of my hands since. Love it !

I ordered the red leather smart cover, don't think I will bother using the screen protector thing the screen cleans really easy without it. I picked up a gel back cover just a cheap one but don't think it's going to work with the smart cover so will probably have to invest in something a bit dearer. I have been really enjoying the iPad it's suppose to be shared with husband but he hasn't had a chance yet, it has not left my mitts lol. The iPhone apps are disappointing when you enlarge them so I'm trying to go through and get iPad only apps, they are amazing I'm taking the iPhone ones off. I hope they do make iPad versions of everything eventually.I found a good facebook app called Friendly for Facebook. It's quite good and you can flip to the web version on it. I put Pulse on it a reader which I have never used before so I will try that for awhile. I have found some iPad versions of Mac sites like Macworld and Macmost they are good and TUAW. But the games for iPad are just brilliant. It won't be long till you get yours hopefully post what you put on yours :)

Ill definitely post whats on mine, with screenshots, i have invisishields on everything that i can, my laptop, my ipod, my phone, my logitech harmony remote, my dslr, they save my screens from scratches, i had to replace one cause of a case failure, but when i removed it, the screen was completely untouched, clean and in perfect condition.

A friend of mine showed me MyPad+ for facebook, and i seemed to like it much better than Friendly... but i will try both once i get my ipad.

I hate having to wait for it!

WOOOHOOOO ! That's great news. I have not put mine down since i got it . Im still trying to get rid of iPhone apps and replace with iPad only apps.
Also received an email from apple telling me to set up "find my iPad" (it's free) after doing it I find out it's not operating anymore. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Downloaded a great app for HD wallpapers FANTASTIC! Check it out..
Hope it arrives soon :)

I wasn’t going to order one until iO5 but I’m traveling next month and I hate those boring long-ass international flights! Consequently, I ordered the darn thing’ and will make do with its current limitations. In typical OCD fashion, I opted for the full-tilt model in black with a customized VaJa case. Yes, I’m vain…:eek:
