Get Your Drool On

If the rumor mill is correct, Apple Store employees are a little over a
week away from getting their hands on the iPad. So if you're the
impatient type, there's still time for you to run down and put an
application in tomorrow morning.
It's being reported in The
Examiner that starting on March 10th, Apple Store employees will begin
in-store training on the iPad to prepare themselves for its launch.
Sources include Apple insiders as well as an Apple Store manager in
southern California, all of whom, naturally, are unnamed.
According
to the rest of the rumor, the employees will begin what amounts to a
little over two week training period, with the WiFi versions set to
begin selling on March 26th and 3G versions rolling out in either April
or May. Five days after Apple Store employees begin fondling the device,
the first commercials will be set to roll, touting the device primarily
as an e-book reader.
All of this runs counter to earlier rumors
that production delays might set the iPad back, rumors that were
countered by an Apple spokeswoman.
So, better start getting your
camping gear ready. This one looks like it's almost ready to go.
