Apple Store Down Hours Before iPad Launch


Hours before the expected launch of the iPad HD, the Apple Store is sporting a Post-It message reading, “We’ll be back soon.”

The message continues, “We are busy updating the store and will be back shortly.” It featured phone numbers for “telesales” teams in various countries. Aside from the Apple Store section, the rest of Apple.com appears to be functioning smoothly. The iPad section appears unchanged and spotlights the iPad 2 at a price of $499.

Apple’s press event is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. According to a report, the new iPad may be available for sale in Apple Stores on March 16. When Apple launched the iPad 2 last March, the company did not allow consumers to preorder the device.

Mashable will be providing complete coverage of Wednesday’s announcement. Tune in here for frequent updates.
