Yep Not too worried. The only way it WONT Be here on the 16th for us Calgarians (who have a date of 16-20) is if UPS decides to continue their sucking

[Devils'Advocate]

Yep. Mine does say that it is only available on the 19th:

iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G 64GB - Black (3rd generation)
Available: by March 19
Delivers 27 Mar via Standard Shipping

[PeteLFan]

Smart cover already shipped. Strange that they don't come together.

Your delivery date really is up to UPS then. You are in the second batch so it'll ship by the 19th but their deliver by dates are the ups service standard delivery dates

Mine has departed China, and now departed Hong Kong. I'm hopeful the 13th delivery date UPS is reporting is accurate - it almost looks like it could be.

They have a future delivery hold on them so shouldn't be delivered till the 16th

Any thoughts on what the lines will be like Friday to get one in store?

Personally, I think less tough then normal...as online seemed to have a lot of units for launch...but you never know. they haven't announced any major time for launch or early opening so it's probably regular hours. (iPad 2 was 5PM)

No. That is a poorly researched and written article. The reporter seems to have just checked Apple.ca where the current status is Available March 19th, and without any research assumed that was for all units.

Louisville, Kentucky now

Should I change the title of the thread to "New iPad Shipping Schedules"?

[PeteLFan]

Smart cover is coming via FedEx and right now is in Memphis.

[burn_this_city]

Mine says preparing to ship, my cover is now in Alaska.

[sclitheroe]

So I'm dumb..the thing I've been tracking is the smartcover. I didn't scroll all the way through the email they sent when it shipped.

wow. I will go sit in the penalty box for 2 minutes and feel shame now.

What's killing me is I'm iPad-less right now. I sold my iPad 1 32GB+3G, and I didn't realize how much I used it, I think.

I am also iPad-less! Using my Air more :P

Hey guys, couple dumb questions for ya as I know very little about tethering.

So, if I have a wifi only iPad, I can tether to my iphone (3gs, but may get the new one also) without issue? Just a matter of enabling the hotspot option? Is there any extra charges for that? I thought I'd read something about extra charges at one time.
