iPad pre-orders start at 5:30am PT, Friday

Last week Apple announced that it would begin taking pre-orders for the iPad on March 12, 2010 - tomorrow - but it didn’t specify precisely when on the 12th. The satan is, as they say, in the details and that is a huge detail to the cult of Mac. Myself included.

TUAW has confirmed with Apple that its first tablet computer will go on sale at 5:30 am PT/ 8:30 am ET:

Customers can pre-order online at apple.com at 5:30am Pacific time on Friday, March 12.

I was kind of hoping that the iPad would go on sale at midnight ET so that I could place my order tonight and be done with it, but an iPad with my Friday daylight paper sounds just as good. Just not to my paper.

See you in line.
