I got a case with my pad and there were loads on the shelf when I went into the Cribbs Causeway store this afternoon.

Still no sign of camera connection kits though.

Cases in abundance everywhere I've seen (Swansea apple reseller, Regent Street apple store and another London reseller). Nary a sniff of a camera kit mind, nobody'd even seen one yet.
Justified and Ancient.

Blimey! Also silly money on eBay.

Someone on Monday paid £114 for the case and camera kit together.

Meant to post that in my update of a few things a couple of days ago. Thanks.

Pretty cool isn't it. Used it, with my new stand, to watch the French open tennis final whilst washing up after Sunday lunch.

Yeah it works well already and apparently the quality of the streams will improve once testing is over. If they add a decent guide then it will be perfect.

Anyone running anything interesting on their JB iPad - I have SBSettings, Backgrounder with Circuitous, AppSync, Installous but pretty much that is all compared to the tens of apps/tweaks running on my iPhone :(
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

Well my Griffin A Frame just arrived and its lovely - works a treat, allows you to power the iPad whilst in situ and is strong enough to allow you to happily type onto it whilst supported :)

Some geezer on a norwegian alternative to ebay is trying to sell an ipad for 12.000 NKR(almost 1300£).

I guess someone is stupid/desperate enough to buy it...
