Note to Microsoft, HP, Dell, and whoever else wants to get in the next-gen tablet game: your concepts are nice -- even spectacular, in the case of Courier (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/microsofts-courier-digital-journal-exclusive-pictures-and-de/) -- but Apple's about to actually ship a product, and investors are taking note. AAPL shares hit a record high of $219.36 this afternoon after the news that iPad pre-orders would begin on March 12 with an April 3rd delivery day, and they closed at $218.95, which is up around four percent. That's got us curious: given the choice between actually purchasing the iPad and twiddling your thumbs waiting for unannounced, unpriced, and even possibly un-real devices like the Dell Mini 5 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/), the HP Slate (http://www.engadget.com/tag/hpslate), or the Courier (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/microsofts-courier-digital-journal-exclusive-pictures-and-de/), are you taking the sure thing or holding out for your vaporous dream device? Hit us up in comments -- and be nice to each other, it's the weekend.Apple shares hit record high on iPad shipping announcement (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/apple-shares-hit-record-high-on-ipad-shipping-announcement/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:19:00 EST.
