Yep, I did. Since I usually use my iphone to browse in my living room chair at home, the ipad will make it a much better experience.
Did anyone preorder the Ipad today?

Absolutely it is my opinion.
Where did you hear those statistics. I looked yesterday and didn't see any.
Which people are those? The ones that want to carry around a huge iPod Touch or those that want to carry around a huge iPhone without the phone feature?
Honestly, what is the point of this thing? It is too small and does not do what most laptops do, so it is a crappy computer. It is to big to use as an iPod. It it too big to use as a phone and does not make calls
Those would be people like me who want something between a PDA phone and the laptop. I already posted those users in another thread, I believe you participated in.

I don't remember the actual page but I found it by searching on "iPad sales." The numbers were based on the first 2 hours (8:30 to 10:30 ET) of internet sales and didn't include any store figures. Today I've seen estimates of approximately 90,000 internet sales in the first 6 hours plus 41,000 store sales on the first day. Some of the internet sales transactions include more than one iPad but there are no guesses as to what percentage that is. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out but those are pretty respectable numbers, especially when you consider that the device won't ship for 3 weeks.
Dead iPad battery? Never mind replacing it, Apple just sends another iPad for $99 -- Engadget
Information on what to do when your battery eventually dies. You pay Apple $100 and they swap out your ipad.

I am not on a mission to jack up anything. I made three separate post because I responded to three different points by three different posters. I know how to multiquote within one post. I hate it when people do that because I like to give each individual the respect and ability to comment to the one post in which I address them. One thing I hate doing is editing other peoples posts because they decided to cover many things and I only want to respond to one.
The estimate is based on a Forbes article (and then picked up by many others) that admittedly is very unscientific
Apple opens the iPad pre-order flood gates, limit two per customer - Story Analysis by BuzzBox

Nobody knows whether two or more iPad could be counted as one order and/or any accessories as different orders.
In other words, this number has as much a chance to undercount iPads ordered as it has to be complete BS.
And the longer Apple is mum on the real numbers, the more likely it is the latter...

The pad is cool but it lacks flash player capabilities and no multitasking without some kind of jailbreak of hack...no for me....it's not a real laptop yet.
mperdue, diogen. Thanks, My real interest in this is to predict how the short sellers of Apple stock may react to the sales figures. I'd like to buy more but waiting for the pull back that usually follows a product release.
truckracer- I hope they never do try to emulate a laptop. However, I do agree that multitasking, flash would be nice. Also, I would really like to have a front facing camera for video skype. I will not go for a 3G model as my use will mostly be around the house.
Dodgerking- Well then, I suppose my post really annoys you.
Anyway what I usually do is copy a segment of the post and then paste it and add the quote with the VB tools.

Didn't annoy me at all. Just clarifying what I do and why I do it.
I think this PC World story from Friday points to the real issue about ordering early -
