Apple Screwed Me With an iPad

While everyone else is gushing about how much they love their little shiny black and silver iPad, I’m here to tell you the dark truth behind the iPad. Yeah, that’s right, this is the stuff Apple doesn’t want you to know!

So, I ordered a couple of iPads from the Apple store online like 15 minutes after they were announced as being available. I did this so I wouldn’t have to wait in line for one, and in case they sold out. Of course when I ordered them they had a notification that you could only buy two. Fine. They also said that they wouldn’t ship them until April 12. Fine.

Fast forward 5 days. Now the Apple store has, and I quote from a phone call, “A complete contingent…” of iPads in stock. So I’m thinking I’ll just go pick up a couple. So I go online to the Apple Store and try and cancel the order for the two I have there. But guess what! NO! YOU MAY NOT CANCEL!!!

Whoa! What’s going on here?

So, let me get this straight… In AT&T’s quest to deliver new and innovative products, they’ve decided to eliminate the internet based VoIP service which delivers flat rate calling, digital access to voice-mail, online capabilities to manage and change services, and instead offer “wireless from AT&T and traditional voice service”? Brilliant.
