Problems ordering the new iPad from the Apple Store?

[Talis]

According to Twitter, most - possibly all - European Apple stores are down and have been all evening apart from a very brief window before 8pm.

Do you guys think this will sell out and have major delays like the ipad2?

Hope not.

Yes.

There hasn't been a single iPad or iPhone launch that didn't have this happen for the first 6 weeks.

This is getting frustrating now I thought I had ordered the 64gb but when I went to checkout it switched to the US site so wouldn't allow me to pay.

Oh, Saphire-that is frustrating. Hang in there. There's always tomorrow,eh?

Good information for our members, Talis! Thank you for sharing!

OK, I ordered two....

I'm guessing that smart cover during checkout isn't the new generation smart cover right? That's the older model?

It took about 1 hour to order but my confirmation email came back quickly:
Personalized iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G LTE for AT&T 64GB - Black (3rd generation)

You can check your status on store.apple.com to make sure it went through.

That was nerve racking at least now when I wake up in the morning I can keep my promise. Yippee I will be a non smoker.
