Usually for pre-order events like this we should see the Apple online store go down around 5.30-6PM BST tonight (9.30 &#8211; 10 am). <\/p>\n<p>Let us know what you think will happen, below!<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/2757032.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/answers.polldaddy.com\/poll\/2757032\/\">Will Apple Activate iPad Pre-Orders Today?<\/a><span style=\"font-size:9px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/answers.polldaddy.com\">opinion<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/noscript><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors are floating around that today will be the day that Apple sends US iPad Wi-Fi pre-orders live.
