Love it or question its point – you can’t ignore the Apple iPad.
No matter which side of the fence you stand you can’t argue the fact that it will sell millions.
If you are jonesing for some fruity tablet time the joyous day may almost be at hand!
Rumours have surfaced that the Apple iPad pre-orders will begin this Thursday – 2 DAYS AWAY!
Steve Jobs said at launch that the Wi-Fi-enabled iPad would hit the streets 60 days after the announcement but Appadvice reckons that pre-orders are just round the corner.
Pre-orders will be for the Wifi version initially, with the 3G-enabled tablet following later. Initial orders are also likely to be US-only.
Are you going to be adding your name?
Are you laughing at the lack of Flash and hoping that HTML5 will make everything OK?

Do you need more than Mafia, Vampire and Farming games?
If you have a Facebook account you may have noticed that these ‘casual games’ are becoming increasingly (annoyingly) popular.
Personally I welcome ‘Brave Arms’ with open….err… arms as it becomes Facebook’s first ever 3D first person shooter.
Some may stand-up and say that FPS games cannot be for the mass-market but 3G Studios’ Brave Arms certainly includes plenty of nods to the casual audience.
The makers call this a “social shooter” and the game will allow users to heavily customise their avatars and compete with others on their Facebook friends list.
Credits can be earned in-game and then spent in the game’s digital store.
“Our new title, Brave Arms, will bring First-Person Shooter games to the masses,” said 3G Studios boss, James Kosta. “It’s about fast-paced action and either competing against or forming teams with your friends. We want people to feel empowered and to share in a real video game experience.”
I’m willing to give it a go and have already signed up.
