Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) 27 May 2010 (Subject to change)

Updated today to that \o/


I rang TNT - they have been inundated with calls - to say don't bother trying to deliver I will collect tomorrow night.

Apparently the BIG SHIPMENT is expected to arrive in depots in the early hours tomorrow.

Wow. The whole company has iPads!

We're running at 50%. My partner wanted a Touch HD2 phone instead. The fool...

mine arrived about two hours ago. Looks lovely. :) haven't synced it yet due to my wife using the only PC in our place that might do it - my G5 has older software which I will not upgrade due to it having been such a stable work environment for my illustration.

On an aside - I DID try to apply a protective film to the screen that I bought on Amazon. Put it this way - if you think that trying to get a dust free piece of film onto an iphone is a pain in the arse, try the effing ipad.....I have decided pretty quickly to trust apple here and use the screen as is - trying to put the plastic on was just to effing fiddly.

The Apple case is SNUG, to say the least. I like it, but I also love holding the pad as is - the case kind of dulls the whole product experience, and once its in the case its an absolute BUGGER to slide out.

Planning on buying the Wired app, Sketchbook Pro and Real Racing/Ashphalt today.......if I can get it synced that is!
