Preorder Apple iPad – since today

It’s official, Apple is going to start taking preorders for the iPad “magic” tablet from March 12th, so only a week from now. But you’ll have to wait a couple of extra weeks to get it, as it will only start shipping from April 3rd.

However, only the cheaper Wi-Fi versions will be available at the time and only in US ($499 for 16GB, $599 for 32GB, $699 for 64GB). Wi-Fi + 3G versions will be also available by the end of April in America, while for us living outside US, Apple will offer the iPad in both versions from the same expected date at the end of April, a date prior to be announced.

I for one am not entirely convinced I’m going to get an iPad. But I’m leaning towards it, although two months ago when it was first presented I was one of its biggest contestants. Later experiences and hands-on videos with different touch tablets showed me that such products can be actually nice. So for now, I’m just waiting for the first reviews to get out and for more suitable applications to be enlisted in the Apps store. But frankly, i see myself as an iPad owner by the end of the year, at least at this moment.

That’s it, start counting days and minutes till March 12th. And in the meantime, i’m curious, are you going to get one of these Apple tablets or not? If yes, are you going to preorder one? Please leave a comment.

    Wait and see…

    Following the news, l think that the IPad is now entering the market at the right time. The tablet principle is not new but the customer is now “educated”, thanks to the smartphones. It will definitely be a success. The online pre-paid books/ newspapers offer is also ready…

    However, l will wait for the challengers to respond (Asus for instance) as l think that the gap between them and Apple for this product has nothing to compare with Iphone/ challengers.

    We will surely get very good products for a -much- cheaper price.
