Pre-order Your iPad Right Now

Today’s the first day for Apple iPad pre-orders.

Were you up all night, anxiously awaiting  the  8:30 a.m. on-sale time? Did you panic when the Apple store went down early this morning?

Wait–what’s that you say? You haven’t pre-ordered your iPad yet?! What are you waiting for? I mean, if you pre-order this “magical and revolutionary product” right now, you will have it in your hands on the very first day it’s for sale, April 3rd!!

Ok, ok, I know what your problem is–you can’t decide which of the six configurations to get. Totally understandable. Let’s walk through it with this deliberately over-simplified guide from Gizmodo.com:

Based on the clever haikus presented above, it appears that the 3G, 32GB model is your best bet–a steal at only $729. What are you waiting for? Pre-order now.

Still not convinced? Check out this slightly more serious guide from the NY Times blog, Bits, posted late last night to help with final iPad decision-making. It will tell you what model is best for you, based on your needs and lifestyle.

Now you’re fully armed with the knowledge to do some informed iPad shopping. Go forth and avoid the lines on April 3rd: pre-order now. Comment with what model you’re getting, or why you’re not getting one at all.
