New iPad (3rd Generation) Pre-Order info.

Fear not. Your status update will soon change and your "New" iPad will magically spawn into some regional carrier facility as if Scottie just beamed it there from upon high. Your iPad will be delivered on Friday. I promise. 😀 Of course if there is nobody there to sign for it ... well, then I guess it will have to float around in the transporter buffer for a few days.

Thanks LitterMines for the pep talk. I hope your right!! Im having it deleverd to my work so I will be here.. then I can mess with my new toy all day and not work. 😁

As soon as Apple says so - they haven't announced it yet, so nobody can tell you for sure. If you want to "jump" on it, follow the Twitter account of an Apple/iOS blog such as iMore, 9to5mac, tuaw, or macrumors (these are all American or Canadian sites, you may prefer a local one) - they tend to send out the news as soon as they hear it.

Mine still says delivers March 16!

Hope not the case as in the TNG epsode called "Relics". It does not degrade in the pattern buffer! >_<

Now I'm worried.....mine still says delivers March 16. I have no prepping message.

Have you checked your Spam box? My confirmation email was sat there... 😕

What is a "prepping message"?

Not in my spam folder. The prep message I meant was the preparing for shipping message.

Finally my order shows preparing for shipment. Big sigh of relief!

well, I hope for all of us, they still deliver the 16 as promised!! i mean come on, how long does it take to prepare a package? mine has been preparing for three days!! 😠

It takes a couple of seconds to prepare a package. But your tracking info won't be updated until the next event that is recorded, which may be; picked up by FedEx, or shipped, or on the truck for delivery, or ...

Be patient

Thanks, that make me feel better! your right need to be more patient! I did however just get my Ipad cover 😁

ROFL my new cover just got here too! I agree we need to be patient but.......not really a quality I have. ; )
