Nope.

iPad is the most pointless device ever made by Apple. A computer that can't run real software.

KiwiNZ: I know I shouldn't but I always quietly laugh at folks taking pics with tablets.😊😈

I must confess to that - although I never bother with quietly!

Doesn't bother me in the slightest!

A Macbook Air is a much more useful tool IMO.

STILL "Preparing for Shipment". Friday delivery is starting to look very unlikely.

RichardRidout: And if you pre-register you just never hear back from them,

I just ordered one online at Apple delivery scheduled for 24th...

I pre-registered out of interest as I placed an order online just after they went live on Saturday morning. I'm seeing reports of Australians receiving shipping notices and tracking numbers now (and some ordered well after I did), with delivery due tomorrow. Mine has been stuck on "Processing Order" since Saturday morning. I guess we are further down the queue here in NZ :-)

Did you get a cellular version? It looks like the wifi only models are shipping now and those of us who ordered ones with LTE are still waiting.

That's certainly what it looks like from over at the MacRumors forum.

64GB Cellular space grey. I've seen lots of delivery reports for Australian orders (both WIFI and Cellular) and even a couple of reports of people buying them from Apple store in Oz this afternoon too (including cellular models). But yes it seems people in the US aren't yet receiving shipping notifications for cellular models. One report of FCC issues at customs but I don't know how accurate that is.

My order has been sitting at Preparing for Shipment for the past 24 hours now. I suspect it will come from Sydney once they sort out domestic orders.

In your opinion. But then you may have missed the point of a tablet device.

As I speculated above, I wonder if NZ orders are being sent from Sydney stock as it is replenished from China? Tracking will tell once we start to get some numbers.

I have to admit I never saw the point of this. If you are going to do this, why not get a nice slim laptop instead?
