Apple is so nice. Â The line is now split between reserved and non-reserved. Â And in true Apple fashion they are provinding water, sports drinks and coffee.
That Arizona sun is making taking pictures down the side of the building difficult

I was wondering if Netflix was going to keep the mobile technology strictly for Microsoft but that was answered today with a definite No. Engadget.com has a report of a new Netflix app in iTunes. This app will do more than let you set your queue. Looking at the picture you will be able to stream movies too. I am wondering what technology they are using as most of the streaming is done with Microsoft’s Silverlight. Silverlight is Microsoft’s version of Flash. The Netflix App is free and should be a welcome addition to the iPad. We will certainly take a look at this app when the Rod gets his iPad tomorrow. I wonder how much impact this will have on RedBox and Blockbuster.

Dear Apple,
It is not like when I placed the order you did not know my mailing address. Â Did it just dawn you today to check if Saturday delivery was available for my area. Â You have my money and my iPad. Â No option for in store pickup, which would have been good customer service. Â Maybe you should use Microsoft technology, because they would not make such a mistake. I am a APPLE FAN. I PRE-ORDERED so I would have my device DAY 1. If you had told me that Saturday Delivery was not and option, I would have drove to the store and picked it up. Thanks for giving me no option. Â Being a fan SUCKS!!
Sincerely,
Screwed over customer
All I can say is thank goodness this is not my order. Â Please tell me Apple is playing an April Fools Joke.
Update: After a call to Apple our reader is getting his $39.99 case for free. Additionally, he has access to an in store pickup iPad in his area so problem solved. If you get/got this email call Apple!

For all the folks that are interested in using an iPad, some guided tours have been created on Apple’s website. In the video the iBooks tool is used. Apple also shows off a dictionary function that can pull up the definition of any word simply by tapping it. They also talk about connecting the iPad to a home stereo and the use of a numbers keypad. I still think that using the iPad will be just like a big iPod Touch but let me know if you come to the same conclusion. I am also wondering if this video has convinced you to get one or to leave it alone. There are 11 videos all together and you can see features such as Safari, YouTube, Photos, Videos and more.

A leaked Photo on engadget.com shows the Best Buy Playbook for selling the Apple iPad. Apple’s new Tablet device is expected to be released on Saturday April 3rd, 2010. The document goes on to explain that not all stores will get them initially and that it will not be available on Best Buy.com. Looks like Apple wants to control the online retail option. Nothing about the document stands out but if you want to see some behind the scenes stuff then here you go.

At a Pwn2Own contest the iPhone was hacked in just 20 seconds. Two hackers Vincenzo Iozzo and Ralf Philipp Weinmann demoed an exploit that allowed them to send an iPhone to a web site that they’d set up online. Next, they copied off the entire SMS database on the iPhone (including deleted text messages) to their own server.
