Sshhh, she'll hear you!. Actually, I offered to get her the 3G model, but she says she doesn't really care. I guess she plans to use it mostly at home and at the office. Go figure. Who knows though, I'll probably be auctioning her wi-fi in two weeks on ebay.
I do not know how you are getting away with your girlfriend settling for the wi-fi. I could not wait to get my hands on iPad and also went to BB and purchased a wi-fi and told my wife it would be her iPad when I got my 3G. She was good with that at first but soon figured out she would be stuck using it only at wi-fi hot spots. Harmony in a marriage is a give and take relationship. I give and she takes. Needless to say a 2nd 3G was ordered, and luckily just under the wire for delivery on April 30. Harmony restored.

So far all i have seen are the form letter that we all received
last week
i have yet to see my c.c. Account clear the charges.
I think that's where most people are at - but also include that most people have seen the charges on hold or pending with their financial institutions - ie the available balance has been lowered but the $$ hasn't been taken out of the accounts.
My advice - walk away from the computer screen - go take a drive -- and make sure you've caught up on all the ancillary stuff you might want to do. Because come Friday - we're all going to be a tad pre-occupied.

Well said David. I know for sure I will be off the radar for some time. We might want to start a new thread about how many of us are single again about a week after Firday.
HOT TIP: Go grab the Camera Connector While Waiting 4 3G
Apple's iPad camera adapter supports USB audio, keyboards
Tipped off by AppleInsider
Early adopters of Apple's Pad's Camera Connection Kit have discovered that the accessory can be used to connect a number of USB devices to the tablet device in addition to cameras.
Electronista provided a roundup of the findings yesterday, first noting that one test by TidBITS discovered that the kit will work with most any USB headphone, headset or microphone. This makes it possible to either listen to music or take a VoIP call through off-the-shelf computer accessories. The call quality via VoIP was reportedly "terrific," making it more appealing to use Skype if you don't have a Bluetooth headsets.
Meanwhile, TUAW found that USB keyboards will work as well, although this was partly expected given the functionality of the official iPad Keyboard Dock. The convenience of the USB keyboard is also reduced as there's no stand when using the adapter.
[Note if you use a bookstand or a magazine stand to hold the iPad this might work. I use wireless keyboards with a fob to feed signal to the computer. It is a simple task to pull that and pop it into something else. I was going to pop for a Apple BT KB but I think I will try this first as it has so many other uses too.]
For its intended role, the adapter imports images to the iPad's Photos app when plugged in. Besides supporting RAW from high-end cameras, iLounge notes that the iPad will import any captured photos at full 2048x1536 resolution, including the EXIF metadata from the original shot.
Video is also supported with tools that let photographers trim videos much as they do with the iPhone 3GS' simple editor. Clips are cut short, however. Any video larger than 640x480 and 5MB will be shrunk in resolution and length to fit the length.
