Get ready for those iPad pre-orders! Apple Store down
The Apple Store is currently down in the US, the UK and the rest of the world. Grab your credit card and get ready for the iPad pre-orders to begin at 5:30PT, 7:30 Central, 8:30ET, and 1:30 GMT!
...and back up now, orders pouring in. Note that Apple is offering $30 off of MobileMe subscriptions with the purchase of an iPad. Preorders are limited to two per person, and devices will ship for delivery on 4/3 where Saturday delivery is available.

It also says right after it, "and the rest of the world".

Wouldn't you know it, it's suddenly down too.

It's called an edit. It's what happens when someone needs to change something in an already published article, such as adding a phrase like "and the rest of the world." once they figured out it was not just limited to the US and UK.

It would be faster to get one by reserving at Apple Store right?

Maybe they are using the MacOS Classic Map, where "Middle Of Nowhere" is in the south Atlantic between Africa & South America just north of Antarctica.

Did you guys notice that you can also order a wireless keyboard with it? Bluetooth keyboard works with the iPad!
