Has anyone tried reserving it in store, for some reason on the site, it allows you to select the state(Illinois), but doesnt allow you to pick a store. Anyone have this issue?

Maybe this means something special has been added to the iPad itself? Dunno, but that was the accessory I wanted - more than the keyboard or dock.

Also I ordered it on my iPhone, just because
I got a tracking number! Jk.
I hate people bashing on early adopters. They say to wait for a price drop and for bugs to be worked out (like the iPhone) but werent the iPhone bugs all software issues which were fixed new OS versions?
Those people might as well wait another 5 years then the iPad will be 3 easy installmentd of $29.99. Either buy it or don't, we don't need your stinky justifications.
Wow, TUAW needs to make this textbox bigger so I can see my typos, haha.
