They will charge and hold for 3 days, then it will drop then do it again, then drop until they ship and it will actually charge.

Hey everyone! I've been feeling anxious about my 3G pre-order (3/25) because of a touchy Visa used to place the order. This card is easily placed on fraud alert and I've had to call card security and verify charges numerous times in the past, including the authorization charge Apple made when I originally placed my pre-order. In an attempt to thwart this happening again when Apple attempts the final charge, I called the Apple Store yesterday. The salesperson assured me that if this does happen I will be sent an email notification and "fraud alert" will show up in my order status, giving me the opportunity to rectify the situation before my order is delayed or canceled. Phew! While on the phone I also asked when she expected the charge to post to my account. She said they expect final charges to start posting Monday or Tuesday for iPad delivery by Friday. Sounds to me like the ipads are indeed already in the U.S. as it seems unlikely they would be shipped from China on Monday or Tuesday.

This was written on my iPad wi-fi. I couldn't wait for my 3G to arrive so I went to BB on 4/3 and bought my girlfriend a wi-fi only. Love it!

I do not know how you are getting away with your girlfriend settling for the wi-fi. I could not wait to get my hands on iPad and also went to BB and purchased a wi-fi and told my wife it would be her iPad when I got my 3G. She was good with that at first but soon figured out she would be stuck using it only at wi-fi hot spots. Harmony in a marriage is a give and take relationship. I give and she takes. Needless to say a 2nd 3G was ordered, and luckily just under the wire for delivery on April 30. Harmony restored.:confused:
Sshhh, she'll hear you!. Actually, I offered to get her the 3G model, but she says she doesn't really care. I guess she plans to use it mostly at home and at the office. Go figure. Who knows though, I'll probably be auctioning her wi-fi in two weeks on ebay.

My luck the FedEx plane will go down in a cloud of volcanic ash and Tom Hanks will be stuck on some frigging island with 5,000 iPads and no way to activate them.

Edit: I suppose that would be bad luck for the flight crew, too.

The FedEx guy around here NEVER gets here before around 4:30pm and sometimes (even if it is an overnight shipment) he will claim an exception and won't deliver until the next day. I would like to send him to that island with Tom Hanks.

So far all i have seen are the form letter that we all received
last week
i have yet to see my c.c. Account clear the charges. :confused::confused::confused:

I think that's where most people are at - but also include that most people have seen the charges on hold or pending with their financial institutions - ie the available balance has been lowered but the $$ hasn't been taken out of the accounts.

My advice - walk away from the computer screen - go take a drive -- and make sure you've caught up on all the ancillary stuff you might want to do. Because come Friday - we're all going to be a tad pre-occupied.

Well said David. I know for sure I will be off the radar for some time. We might want to start a new thread about how many of us are single again about a week after Firday.

HOT TIP: Go grab the Camera Connector While Waiting 4 3G

Apple's iPad camera adapter supports USB audio, keyboards

Tipped off by AppleInsider

Early adopters of Apple's Pad's Camera Connection Kit have discovered that the accessory can be used to connect a number of USB devices to the tablet device in addition to cameras.

Electronista provided a roundup of the findings yesterday, first noting that one test by TidBITS discovered that the kit will work with most any USB headphone, headset or microphone. This makes it possible to either listen to music or take a VoIP call through off-the-shelf computer accessories. The call quality via VoIP was reportedly "terrific," making it more appealing to use Skype if you don't have a Bluetooth headsets.

Meanwhile, TUAW found that USB keyboards will work as well, although this was partly expected given the functionality of the official iPad Keyboard Dock. The convenience of the USB keyboard is also reduced as there's no stand when using the adapter.

[Note if you use a bookstand or a magazine stand to hold the iPad this might work. I use wireless keyboards with a fob to feed signal to the computer. It is a simple task to pull that and pop it into something else. I was going to pop for a Apple BT KB but I think I will try this first as it has so many other uses too.]



For its intended role, the adapter imports images to the iPad's Photos app when plugged in. Besides supporting RAW from high-end cameras, iLounge notes that the iPad will import any captured photos at full 2048x1536 resolution, including the EXIF metadata from the original shot.

Video is also supported with tools that let photographers trim videos much as they do with the iPhone 3GS' simple editor. Clips are cut short, however. Any video larger than 640x480 and 5MB will be shrunk in resolution and length to fit the length.
