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

I pre-ordered a new Apple iPad (3rd generation) 64 GB Wifi+4G LTE yesterday on March 6, 2012. The conformation email I received from Apple said that it would be delivered on March 16, 2012. Is this the true date that my new iPad will be delivered, or is this just the date that it will ship from Apple? Does anyone have any insight on this delivery date question?

Got my iPad today about 1:30pm eastern. Didn't open it until after I got home from work there's so much that I don't know how to do with my iPad. This is my first iPad I have the iPhone 4 and a lot of things are the same but a lot of things aren't also very different. I'm doing talk to type now it's pretty neat saves me a lot of time:) just wondering can I text from my iPad I only have the Wi-Fi version but the texting icon is still on the iPad so just wondering about that.

Also if I were to take my iPad to the Apple store tomorrow and just ask a few questions about using it could I do that? would they answer my questions? Or do you have to be a member of the Apple club or whatever that club is called for $99 per year in order for them to answer questions?

I ordered the blue smart cover but looking now for something to protect the back of the iPad so it doesn't get scratched.

Love, love, love it though! The photos are amazing! The resolution is truly amazing! :)

One of the kids got his in Ottawa in the action Friday, but I ordered mine with engraving, and it sat in Louisvill for 4 days with no apparent movement util Friday evening when it changed to Departure Scan so I would now imagine it will be here on Monday.


I say the new one, and though it looks identical to the 2 it is perceptibly heavier, but the screen is something I had never seen before. Beautiful and crisp. And it does seem faster. We took a few pictures and it was surprisingly easy and the pics were pretty much just like what. Take in the iPhone 4. So I will just wait patiently now. Not much more I can do.
