Let's hope the push back doesn't have an impact on any other areas of the world. The longer it takes to get them out in the market, the more gouging we'll see on eBay and Craig's list.

I also notice some folks are spreading rumors around about the disaster in Japan leading to a shortage of electronic components and higher prices.

It appears from the comments, it's a typo on the site.

it would be a typo as other countries are still March 25. And if one country was pushed back I think they all would be.

Up here in the Great White North in the Land of Snow and Clouds, our website still shows March 25th. I really really really really hope it doesn't change. Even though I will to get up an hour earlier than I normally do for work so I can be at my computer at 3am EST when I believe the online ordering is set to begin.

Not a chance. I don't do line-ups. Especially when it isn't guaranteed that if you stand in line you will for sure have the opportunity to buy the iPad of your choice. No siree bob, I will be getting up an hour earlier than I would normally have to (to get ready for work) and hopefullly be online and ordering at 3am EST.

What about you?

Awesome, thats what I am doing as well. There is no way I am waiting in a line for an electronic device again. I did it for playstation 2 when it came out and vowed to never do it again!
