Operation iPad, Part 1

by Paul Colligan on March 15, 2010

NOTE: In addition to site updates and the Paul’s iPad Twitter account, we will also be updating anyone involved (or interested) with Operation iPad via SMS.  To get on that list, call 1-877-712-5212 on your cell.  Obviously, you can unsubscribe at any time.

Here are the plans for April 3.  Yes, here at Paul’s iPad the iPad ordering process will be a heck of a lot more fun that sitting around the house waiting for your iPad to be delivered.  It will also be more involved than a trip to the local Apple store to pick up our pre-orders.

Paul will get on a plane from Portland.

Ed will get on a plane from Australia.  Yes, that Australia.

They will meet up at LAX.  One of them will be taking a shower.

They then get in a car – with a driver – and hit as many Apple Stores (and an In-And-Out or two) as they can before they head home that night.

Press Inquiries Welcome …

Did we mention live streaming of us much of it as is possible (and as batteries allow)?

Did we mention how many iPads Ed hopes to take back with him to Australia that night?

Did we mention how much fun this is going to be?

Ways to play along:

  • Follow the project at PaulsiPad on Twitter.  Ed’s Twitter is Ed_Dale.  Paul’s is Colligan.
  • Get updates by text/sms by calling 1-877-712-5212 on your cell.
  • And, yes, we’ll livestream this one as well.  Platform hasn’t been determined yet so you’ll need to check back here for the latest (following us on Twitter or via text/sms will work as well).

    Wow — this is really cool. I went ahead and ordered the 3G version — so I have to wait a few weeks. I am pretty sad about that. I could arrange to be at one or more of the the apple stores in Dallas if you want some Flip footage to add to your coverage.
