Everything iPad

Being an early adopter of a fresh product has its ups and downs. Some people think you’re crazy for throwing your money down on something that’s so new it hasn’t even really been tested or reviewed (by the populace at large). And still, others would argue that being the first to own something is one of the best feelings you can have at any one given moment. (Maybe they wouldn’t go that far…) Whichever side of the fence you stand on, here’s some (potentially) good news for you. According to “a source,” pre-orders for Apple’s tablet are about to begin.

Traditionally, Apple likes to start selling their products on Fridays. Like their iPhones and iPod Touches. So, we’re inclined to think that the iPad would get the same treatment. If that’s the case, then at the moment, it’s looking like March 26th might be the official launch date. So, how does a month to pre-order sound? If this rumor is true, coming out of AppAdvice’s source close to the matter, then Apple could start taking pre-orders on the tablet as early as February 25th. That’s next week, folks.

Pre-ordering the iPad may not be like pre-ordering any other piece of tech out there. Unlike those other products, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, then you know what you’re getting. Plus the potential of further application development. So maybe pre-ordering the iPad won’t be that hard of a bargain for some people. Then again, maybe you want to stand in one of those now famous Apple lines, where you get to meet a bunch of new and interesting people, all waiting for the same thing as you. What do you think? If this true, are you going to pre-order?
