iPads went on sale early this morning at big box electronics retailers but the real early adopters–those who put their order in on May 10 for the presale–have not received them from FedEx in most cases. FedEx says it might be into the evening even though all week long the delivery has been promised for before noon on Friday. In fact, the FedEx CSR said she could not guarantee any time at all because the delivery was now an ‘exceptionality.’ Apple demands that each package have a signature won’t release them without one’s John Hancock. You can’t leave your premises; waiting and waiting. No iPad. Jon Steward was right: sometimes Apple has become ‘the Man.’ Chaos out there, even people camping out overnight at the retailers. I want my iPad!
