I wonder why apple couldn't just ship them and let them be delivered instead
of having FedEx home them til the 16th. Then just sell them in the store on
the 16th. Anyone know the reason?
I guess they want to make launch day a big event, and they've probably given review units to the big tech journalists and are embargoing their reviews until launch day, and don't want anyone else posting anything before that. It still seems odd to me. I don't see what they can't just let them get delivered when they get delivered, and state that delivery will happen "by the 16th." My new iPad is sitting in Middletown, PA, which is less than a 2-hour drive from me. How excruciating that I can't just drive and pick it up! Oh, well, the anticipation is fun, I suppose!
