It is now 1 week left till the May 10 date where the Non-US people can preorder an ipad. And I'm just asking will you order an ipad on May 10? And if so which one?

For me I'm currently looking at 32GB Wi-Fi. But the price will dictate I think.

Yes, but not for me! I have a Greek friend who want's me to buy it for him, as they can't get them there for some reason.

Yes, I'll definitely be pre-ordering on 10th - either 16GB or 32GB WiFi only (depending on the prices). I'll be tethering to my jail-broken iPhone 3GS, so no need for 3G version (Similarly GPS is of little interest to me).

I hope Apple have a reserve and collect from store option as they did in the US - I hate waiting for couriers!

A few places including New Zealand don't have a due Date for the iPad.
That being so: My 3G ~ 32GB iPad will be coming from the US mid May.
I would have been happy to wait till the end of May but No date just isn't fair.

Well, it would seem that the UK's "End of May" launch may be about to slip. The Apple Website is unchanged but various sources are saying that, with over 1.3 million now sold in the US, other markets will have to wait a bit longer. I just hope that the pre-order date (10th May) is not changed and we get a firm price and release date, even if its sliped a couple of weeks?

Or you could have gotten one of your Australian mates to get you one for the end of May shipping.

Is ipad really worth the money?

The local market here is really cold for ipad, is it really worth the money? Many people think it's an unnecessary product between Macbook and iPhone. Anyway, time will give the result.

In the market for one for mrsplow but without a price can't say if I'll order or not. Too expensive and it'll be a Kindle instead.
