iPad - How to get one?

[Paul Reilly]

So how does one get an iPad in April without flying to new york ? I really would like one to test out my app on. It would be really great if we had one or two that could be part of a device pool, and that different developers could use to test their apps on. Is anyone going to New York with a big suitcase and lot's of credit cards? Probably a dangerous proposition!

[Damian OSuilleabhain]

Stephen has that covered. He's going to buy us all one each from his Vegas winnings! Woo Hoo!

[Denis Hennessy]

If there any kind of a joint purchase plan hatching, count me in...

I don't think a device pool will work for this. I need one and once I have it I won't be able to spare it.

I'm probably going to wait for the UK launch myself. I'll head up to Belfast when they're launched. I'll be based in Dublin at that stage. A simple matter to hop on a train!

Where will it be available in Belfast?

I'm assuming the Apple Store is a safe bet!

Haha. I didn't realise there was a store in Belfast. Right, there's a new plan hatching.....

[Andy Dunn]

Is there any word on when the UK launch will be, or when they're taking preorders ?

Guys, I'll be getting mine in Belfast. So how about you wait until it's available in Ireland because if I find you in the queue before me, I will get very angry.
