Dear All �

Just heard from a delivery driver that he's got "several" iPads on the van
for delivery today here in the UK.

(Not the two I've ordered tho' :-( )

Mine is out for delivery today. Hasn't turned up yet, but that isn't a
problem as if it had I still wouldn't be able to use it until half 5!

According to the UPS site mine's "out for delivery" too - however if
you read the small print "out for delivery" simply means that it has
reached as far as their depot, and the next stage is "delivered". Odd -
I would have thought it was plain enough English - "out" means "out of
the building", "for delivery" means "for the purpose of us getting it
to you". Typical corporate weasel words - a straightforward read by a
normal human being gives one impression, but they actually *mean*
something quite different.

Irritating really - I am working at home today and if they don't
deliver I will miss my chance to pose at my client's office tomorrow :-)
