Isn't Fedex's main hub in Nashville?
Ah yes. Thanks for the correction.Isn't Fedex's main hub in Nashville?
Memphis I think.
Here's the scenario:
I ordered 2, 3g's arriving here hopefully Friday mid-day. I'm surprising my wife with one for no special occasion other than why not.
I have a great dinner planned at home, even champagne and candle light.
It will be a fun surprise!
My problem is, should I open mine when it arrives (she'll be at work all day) and set it up and play with it, or should I keep it packaged (with LOTS of will power) and wait until I surprise her, and we both will enjoy the same experience of excitement at the same time?
I do have will power, but damn, I've been pre-ordered for 6 weeks and have been going crazy waiting like all of us....
What to do...

Your pad is not growing it's leaking. Apple puts helium inside of the iPad cases to make them lighter. Normally the iPads weigh in at about 12 1/2 lbs. The reason is that the battery, which lasts at least 10 hours, is very very heavy. They inject enough helium to get the weight down to about 1 1/2 lbs.
When you open your iPad today it will feel a bit like picking up a vial of mercury. Not to worry, Apple will swap you out with a new one
BTW - it will work fine until you get a replacement.
