Pre-Order Launch Day Tip

This might come as old news for veteran Apple fans, but many newer mac users may be unaware... If you ever find yourself staying up until the wee hours to buy a hot new Apple gadget the instant it goes on sale, download the Apple Store app first.  The Apple Store app operates independently of store.apple.com.  As a result, the main site may be throttling traffic and/or timing out - all with no effect on the Apple Store App.  Using the app, you can literally be checked out and with your new purchase on the way before your main site friends can choose a color.
