- pavlov 16y agoThe iPad was rumored as far back as May 2001: http://fury.com/2001/05/apples-ipad-the-next-big-thing http://fury.com/2001/05/apples-ipad-the-next-big-thing :P But more seriously, it's not quite clear to me why preorders are particularly relevant here as the marketing approaches are so different. Most iPads are sold directly by Apple, whereas a console game is available through thousands of retailers. It makes sense that those retailers were taking preorders a long time before release. (I'm sure somewhere preorders were being taken for the now perhaps cancelled Win7-equipped HP Slate, despite the lack of an official release date.)
