Apple begins shipping iPad 2 orders for March 17 delivery

Multiple reports of shipments of the first wave of iPad 2 orders has begun, with delivery estimates noting an expected delivery date of March 17.

Some accessories have also shipped, including some Smart Covers, which are shipped via slower ground freight. Apple's estimated ship times for Smart Covers online vary according to the type and color ordered.

Grey, green and tan are still available in 1 to 2 days, while the red leather cover seems to be the most popular or at lease elusive, with a 3-4 week shipping wait.

The Apple Digital AV adapter for HDMI output has not yet shipped, but is estimated to so so in 1 to 2 business days.

my expectations when reading this blog are very low, and you guys never cease to fail to meet even those expectations. where the hell did you learn to write? oh, you didn't.

has begun?

what's begun? the reports? or the shipments?

and what the hell else beside a delivery date would a delivery estimate communicate, the length of an apple? welcome to the department of redundancy department.

i laughed so hard i couldn't even get past the first sentence. it's a good thing you only report on computers and not repair them. flame on.

My Digital AV adapter has shipped (from where, I don't know)

1 of 2 Smart covers has shipped from Sacramento -- it is on truck for delivery, today

1 of 2 Earphones has shipped from China

AppleCare and non-iPad items all shipped.... That leaves 2 iPads.... Sigh!On a fluke, waited for about an hour at the Brentwood, CA. Target. They handed out tickets earlier in the day, and started selling at 5:00. I was 3rd in line waiting for no-shows (after 6:00).

Others in line said the local stores were all gone -- ATT had none, Wal-Mart a few, BestBuy a few.The Target only had 15.

... Just checked Target -- no shipment today -- yet!

Hello pot, you seem to be calling the kettle "black".

Lack of capitalization, missing punctuation and poor grammar, litter your diatribe.

Back on topic now. I was one of the first to order online and still no shipment notification. I really don't anticipate one until Monday though, with delivery on Thursday or Friday.

I ordered mine at 12:53 AM Friday PST. It has shipped and on its way for anticipated delivery by Thursday.

It's currently in Shenzhen, China.
