64GB 3G Auth Gone

[CaptKirk]

I wonder what Apples strategies was to ship the 3G a month latter.. I'm curious, how many folks ordered two iPads, one of each... I cant figure this out but does anyone know how to make this a pole question.. Would be interesting to see.. And how many will cancel the 2nd order after receiving the WiFi

I wonder what Apples strategies was to ship the 3G a month latter..

I think that they were not ready to produce the 3G version for whatever reason (AT&T was not going to be ready, the new SIM cards don't work right, the OS could not handle it yet, the software for tracking usage is not finished, ...). Rather than hold up the wifi version they decided to push back the 3G. The question is how hosed up are they with the 3G version? I would think that we would have seen some sort of demonstration or picture of a 3G version if it was close. All I've seen is the case on the Apple site to show that the wifi and 3G versions look slightly different.

I seriously considered this approach. If I missed 3G enough I would have returned it and eaten the restocking fee and then waited for the 3G. If not I would have cancelled my order. I hope that the demand for the wifi does not push back the 3G production. They seem to be able to sell as many as they make...
