Do I have to wait for item to arrive to get activation code for iPad, or can I use immediately once I click buy from Amazon? Thx in advance

Contact Fluenz and ask them. I think I got the number from Fluenz once the purchase was made and was up and running online even before the CDs arrived. In fact, I never installed the CDs on my computer; I prefer doing it online. I don't remember when I got the number but it did come directly from Fluenz: www.fluenz.com

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

First make sure it's charged all the way. Turn on from there you will want to connect to wifi once that is done download an app store I use amazon app store. From that you can download as and things. It comes with a Facebook, Twitter, and some other apps already. You also have some widgets as well. You have five pages that you can put things on. What else would you like to know?

Amazon always gives a generous blanket date on pre-released products. In my experience, they always ship within a week of Apple.

The answer is NO. I purchased a new Ipad on eBay. I called SquareTrade and asked if I could buy the warranty on Amazon for use with an eBay purchase. I was told that as long as the Ipad is new, the Amazon warranty would apply. So, I purchased the warranty on Amazon. When trying to register my Ipad, the "Place of purchase" was "Amazon". This could not be changed. Wanting to make sure that this warranty would apply to my Ipad, I called SquareTrade again and explained the problem. The process to get this straightened out took SEVERAL hours. The calls are outsourced so I was dealing with Indian agents with, for the most part, thick, heavy accents so I had to ask them to repeat themselves again and again and sometimes just giving up on the answer to that particular question. In addition, their comprehension of English was limited. At the end of my first call, the agent thought it was a glitch so he canceled my purchase and told me to buy it again and try registering. After hanging up, I did (it didn't work - same problem). During multiple calls, I was put on hold several times. For one of the holds, I waited over 10 minutes and had to hang up and call back. In addition, my call was dropped several times. Each time I had to call back and start at the beginning. In the end, a supervisor informed my agent that the Amazon warranty only applies to products purchased on Amazon. The Amazon warranty is better (offering longer terms and specials in pricing) than their warranty for other retailers since Amazon their biggest reseller. SquareTrade should make this clear in the description.

Well the good news, I got my shipping notice today and they actually overnighted it so my delivery date is once again the 29th! Thanks Amazon for the overnight to meet your original delivery date! Looking forward to getting this, will finally be able to use my ipad at work efficiently.

If you're looking at this product page, they're the same thing. With the key card you have to wait to get a card printed with a physical number mailed to you. The number is in your amazon account when you do the download (I assume). So if you can wait a week, get the key card. You have to download from Microsoft and create a Microsoft account either way. Either way this is a subscription product that expires after a year and all of the software stops working if you let it expire.

+1. I waited diligently for the Lightning Deal, clicked "Add to Cart" the second it popped up. It sat there "getting deal info" for a few seconds, then went to a grayed out "Waitlist full". I don't go on amazon to gamble with my time. This is a bs gimmick.

Can anyone explain to me how does Amazon's return policy work if I pre-order it and decide to return later? Thanks.

I called and spoke to someone on the phone and they told me it has to be an Amazon purchase, however someone else asked this same question and there was a bit of discussion on the topic. I decided to buy the warranty here on Amazon and just give it a shot. They did accept my registration and my receipt from a product purchased somewhere else. I sent them a copy of my receipt as part of the registration and then called to confirm that everything was good to go.Personally, I'd much rather buy electronics here from Amazon whenever possible. The only reason I didn't buy my computer from Amazon was because they couldn't match the student discount I got elsewhere.

I ordered a 32gb on the 16th also. The listing said they were arriving on the 17th. Since I'm a prime customer I expected it by the end of the week. I received an email on the 20th telling me that there was a delay and I had until 10/20/08 to cancel because the estimated ship date was NOV. 8. Funny, the listing still says 'ships in 8 to 9 days'. I went with Amazon for the no tax, free two day shipping. Now, I'll just go to Apple and pay the tax. I've been an Amazon customer since they were shipping out of a garage. This is the first time this has happened.

WOW i just noticed that, its the only reason I didn't go ahead and place my order, can anyone confirm this? i get free shipping here and no tax, but apple wants to charge me tax, so i came to amazon, but i don't want to wait a month.

Hi, is this really the new iPad (iPad 3) ??? If I buy it today, will I receive it by Apr 5th (I'm in Florida)? Thanks.

Hey dude.. I could advise you on this as it happened with me. Yes.. it is safe as long as you pay for it through amazon (ie.. no wire transfers/online transfer or other means). The worst that can happen is that you wont get the item delivered by delivery date and then your money will be refunded back which will take about 10 days. This is exactly what happened with me when I ordered an iPhone 4 32GB unlocked at $460 from mattress n more discount furniture source.

Yes. Amazon emails you a code 6-10 days after delivery. The promotion ends at the end of May. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId;=1000859341&plgroup;=2

Yes i bought it two days back and saw that amazon instant app was installed there. I am not sure if it came pre-installed but I remember that it asked for software update when i launched it first time.

Use amazons excellent return service to return it in due time before purchase...I believe for ur case it shud b 30days.It takes approx 3 days for them to get it.Check ur refund poilicy.U can get a full refund or a brand new pad or something else in exchange for that just do it quick.....They are going to give u a barcode, print it, pack it, then take it to ur nearest amazon accepted dealers eg:UPS.Good luck.
