Apple's iPad launched in 9 more countries today and while many of you snuck them out of the US early, many more are likely waiting in line at the Apple Store or in front of the window for the delivery truck. Once you've gotten your hands on Apple's new tablet, once you've turned it on and played around with the browser and photos, you may be wondering what to do next Don't worry, TiPb's got your back:

  • Get apps and games. Apple has unleashed almost 2000 of them already (seriously, we've stopped counting!). You can find them -- all of them -- on iTunes, either on your Windows or Mac, or right on the iPad App Store. Because of the US release, we had a head start and have covered a ton of iPad apps here already, and there'll be plenty more to come so keep checking back.

  • Get accessories. The iMore Store has just started offering iPad accessories. If you want to protect that big, beautiful screen or wrap a case over that pristine aluminum shell, be sure to check them out! We've done a bunch of reviews for cases, keyboards, stylus, and all sorts of other accessories as well, so if you just want to see what's available, check those out.

  • Get talking. If you just want to talk about your new iPad and all those apps and accessories, or if you need help getting started (or to trouble-shoot bugs), or advice and recommendations, we have two new discussion groups just for you: iPad Device and Help Forum and iPad Apps and Games Forum.

I ordered an iPad 3G, but I can't stay away from launch-day festivities so I'll be at the Apple Store in Pointe-Claire, Quebec tomorrow (if anyone wants to say hi). Let us know where you'll be and what you're doing with your brand new iPad!

"Flight delays" causing international iPad deliveries to slip?
  1. killer says:

    Your iPad is currently in transit, however, FedEx has informed us that, due to a flight delay, your package will not deliver on May 28th as planned. We are closely tracking your order and working with FedEx to deliver it as soon as possible. FedEx will make every effort to deliver your iPad on Saturday, May 29th.

    i'm in Calgary, AB :(

    Got my UK 64GB iPad yesterday! It's amazing - spent a small fortune on Apps and woke up at 5.30 this morning wondering what else I should get for it! Off to Vancouver on holiday this weekend, the flight is going to seem so much shorter with my new toy!!

  3. Jpraadt says:

    I was tracking my package using Delivery Status for iPhone, and with no explanation, the amount of days until delivery went from 1 to 4. I really hope this in inaccurate, because I booked the day off work so I could be home to meet FedEx. :/

  4. Luis says:

    Just got*

  5. Adam says:

    Preordered mine from apple, says June 7th for me. Kinda miffed. Didn't know that preordering meant I get it a week after it's released.

    Meh.

  6. Mitchell says:

    I WAS ON THE NEWS WOOHOOO!!! I got interviewd so many times, I showed off my new iPad!

  7. John Bramley says:

    Here in the UK I got my iPad yesterday morning (27th) so very pleased. Sorry you guys are still waiting as I know how it feels when the USA got the iPad and we here in the UK had to sit and watch!!

  8. Frog says:

    You couldn't walk around a major shopping centre in Australia today, without seeing dozens of people wandering around clutching their new iPads. What got me though, was the smiles on peoples faces while trying out the demo units in stores.

    @Killer Did you ask the Apple rep what they were going to do about it? I'm in the same situation and they gave me the iPad case for free. You should call them back and ask about it.

  11. Killer says:

    @Jonomacdono

  12. Art VanBuren says:

    Its "Just GOT an ipad?" not GET :lol: :twisted:

  13. Gino from the Bronx says:

    I love my freekin ipad. LOVE. got mine on the first day wifi model was available in the US and the spark hasn't gone away since.

    It's a beautiful device/toy and it just keeps delivering

  14. tsb3 says:

    What's the problem with GOT and GET ? Just got an iPad. Just did get an iPad. wtf

  15. Art VanBurenBoy says:

    Tbs3

    Get doesn't sound right without using Did Cause it has to be in past sentence.

    Example

    "just saw a good movie? "

    "Just see a good movie ?!"

    the latter doesn't sound unless you add DID

    "did you just see a good movie ?"

    So "Just get an ipad" doesn't ask about past sentence , more like Tells you to go and just get a freaking ipad ! :)

    Got it ?!

    ;)

  16. tsb3 says:

    I think your explanation is for Rene, not for me.

  17. You really should change hosting companies. Your blog seems to be down about half the time I go there.

  18. Worthless for the large examination, but I'm truly gaga the new Zune, and wish this, as asymptomatic as the fantabulous reviews both new engrossed, gift assist you if it's the justice action for you.

    Just to follow up on the update of this subject on your website and want to let you know how much I valued the time you took to create this useful post.

    The mind is like the stomach.

  22. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
