Been using the iPad for less than a week. Getting used to it, but this BlogPress app seems to work well. When I saw the iPad in Anchorage, I thought I might have a chance to snag it today. My fear was I would try to out guess UPS and sit at the office all day waiting, when they had no intention of showing because they “knew” the office was closed on Saturday. However, I watched closely, looking for “news” that it was on the truck for delivery, just like (my favorite) FedEx does. Well, when it didn’t show for a few hours, I really quit watching the status and settled back to read reviews and get ready for Monday. Well, wouldn’t you know it, there was an attempt today! No word it was on the truck or anything. That was at 13:29. My iPad is “officially” in Anchorage! According to UPS tracking info, and information from FlightAware, the package was on UPS80, a 747-400 that arrived at PANC at 07:27. I’ve looked at the information, after an hour, and my guess is they won’t even put it on the truck today. However, if I see a change in status, I’ll definitely make a run for the office. It would be worth a gamble, just in case. I believe, *someone* is willfully manipulating shipping / tracking data. UPS will depot the iPads, such as in Anchorage, or your local hub, to clear Customs and stage for release on the third. I don’t care mine is sitting; Apple set the expectation of receiving on April 3. I received an email this morning from Apple. It seems that my iPad, pre-ordered early on the morning of March 12 when it was first released, has shipped. Looks like it is coming via UPS, direct from Shenzhen, China. This looks like a really cool product. It does create the third category as Steve mentioned. |
