Apple has special gift planned for fans camping out for the iPad

While no official launch date for the Apple iPad has been released, the device is expected to be offered sometime later this month. and Apple has decided to offer a "Special Gift" to those who camp out on lines waiting for the doors to open, according to the Examiner. The site also says that on March 10th, Apple Store employees will start to train on the iPad and will get their first "hands-on" experience with the tablet. This is confirmed, says the site, by an Apple Store manager and other inside sources. The Examiner adds that March 26th is a likely launch date and the 3G version will follow with an April/May rollout. A commercial is already in the can, and will begin rotation on March 15th. According to Geek.com, an ad for a secret Apple product was filmed last August at a California restaurant and while the timing seems off, the site suggests that with all the secrecy involved, it could have been the taping for the iPad commercial.

Camping out for an iPad will possibly be one of the top jokes in 2010.

"Here's your gift for camping out for a giant iPhone.... A LIFE!" I wouldn't camp out for any device, unless it was a device that would eradicate all iSheeple from the universe... I could understand waiting in line for a few hours, but multiple days... really? Don't you people have lives or jobs to go to? You can like Mac products and your iPhone, I have no problems with that. But if you try and tell me one more time why your completely inferior macbook computer is better than my PC without evidence or knowledge to back it up, I will stab you in the jaw.

I love people who still think saying "sheeple" makes them seem clever...

Using the word sheeple doesn't make a person clever, but it is an accurate description of many apple fans.

Agreed, anyone who camps for the oversized version of a device that's already been available for awhile just because it's by Apple would make them sheeple.

Perhaps they will get an iPad with flash support. That would be really "special."

Special gift? A free bottle of lube so your bunghole isn't as sore after you see your credit card bill, wondering why you spent so much for what amounts to an oversized ipod touch or a colorized Kindle? Steve Jobs is sitting at home laughing right now.
