It is in Hong Kong and is supposed to be in Billings, Montana on April 3rd ? What do you think?

 

Well Hong Kong is a day ahead, so hopefully, the 4/2/10 date is HK time (must be, since its still 4/1/10 here in the US). So they have about 36 hours to fly it over to Montana and deliver it to you. Now, HK is a big shipping port, and it only takes 11 hours flying time to get to the West Coast.

I'd guess you still have a good chance. Now, I spoke to the Apple Store this afternoon, and they said they were getting a lot of iPads out. If it shipped by 3/31, it should be delivered in most parts of the USA. Good luck.

 

Whatever happened to the days when things like the iPad were made in America?

 

UPS has stated that these tracking results can NOT be considered accurate due to the special handling required by Apple. Odds are, it's about 5 or 10 miles from you at your local UPS depot right now.

 

Ipad is cheap because it's made in China

That will be really simple the iPad 16G will cost 900USD because no one in foreign country include in US will work 60 hours by week for 400USD/Month ... like the chinese worker do.

And no one will invest billions $ for set a factory with 27.000 worker, they prefer to invest in Wall-Street or in Madoff pocket

 

I hope so...maybe today?

 

Mine also is in AK..

Mine has only been updated about 4 times in last 4 days and it left china almost 24 hours ago. It could be anywhere but I don't care as long as it is here tomorrow.

 

I hope it's not a cruel "April Fools" joke! But who ever gets their hands on it first MUST post a dated photo here - maybe of the UPS man delivering it, opening the box, and so on. I'm considering trying to get in to the Apple store tomorrow, but it may be impossible. I've heard twice now that the iPad will also be available at Best Buy. Is that true?

 

Well mine was "Out for delivery" at 7:00am. Then at 9:45 I got a notice that the shipped requested the delevery be held for another day. Damn Apple!

 

Me too! Here's mine: I called Apple and the Representative said I was the first he heard of!
