Thanks for the update. How long approximately would you expect I would be waiting for an ipad if I ordered off you today?

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum to discuss sales, but if you ordered a WiFi model now, delivery is likely first or second week of May

plas: I'm thinking of buying one from www.toshnewzealand.com, anyone bought stuff from these guys before ? They have far better prices than what is on trademe.

I've bought my MacBook Pro 15" from them. Great service and awesome prices.

Well I've bought a 32GB model from someone in Texas through eBay. Not too much of a markup on the original price but the killer was the expedited shipping + postal insurance, plus I suspect there will be some sort of Duty/GST before it arrives with me in NZ. If it arrives here broken at least I appear to be covered but if it breaks a couple of months down the line I don't know where I stand with the warranty, guess I would have to send it back to the states!

So what is everyones favorite case style. Even though I dont have an ipad I do plan on getting a tablet of some sort at some stage. I have all I need to whip up a leather case with large stamps type thingys that are capable of putting designs in the leather using a press system. As well as some metalworking craft supplies. So I can add embossed metal. I figured Ill just make a ipad style prototype in the meantime and just sell it off using online auction.
So at the moment Im thinking a simple sleeve design. Maybe a length of leather folded in half with a rustic look by threading thick leather cord up the sides to hold it together. Or I could sew the piece together and turn it inside out for a nice edge. Im a a standstill as to whether I like a flap on top as well to close it. If I did I guess a simple metal clasp or leather cord to hold it shut would be cool.
I should probably just start playing and see how I go.

I think I'll be making sure to get a nice leather case that has a sleeve/pocket for a mobile wifi hotspot device so I can use my wifi ipad and or macbook while on the road. Either taht or jailbreak my iphone.

I hope the 'late May' date on the Aussie Apple site includes the 3G version. If the WiFi and 3G releases are staggered there as they were in the US then I guess the 3G version won't hit the lucky country until late June which would be a pain for me, especially since the intial supplies might be limited at the time of release.

Time will tell.

Yes, it's been stated before that the Wi-Fi and 3G+Wi-Fi models will be released internationally at the same time.

Then again, the whole world was supposed to have the device by the end of March...
