So, I have my own story. I had returned my WiFi only iPad and ordered a 3G 16 GB unit instead. On April 14th, same day as the return was processed by Apple, I called and changed my order to a 3G 32 GB unit. Apparently this triggered something in the Apple order system to think that I had not one, not two, but THREE units on order. At 10:28PM on April 15th I received an e-mail from donotreply@apple.com which read in total:
Thank you for your recent Apple order.
To ensure that all customers are given equal opportunity to acquire this
product we have limited the amount available per customer. Therefore,
this order has been cancelled.
If you have questions, you may reach us at 1-800-676-2775 between
8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
That's it. No questions asked, just "you're outta here", "not yours", "can't have". I think Steve Jobs must have discovered my Evil Empire blog and this is retribution. :-)
I had the order restored the next morning - but it's still entertaining.

Another strange e-mail from Apple:

We would like to confirm that your order will be shipped in late
April as communicated at the time you placed your order. You will
receive a confirmation notice when your order has shipped.
\\Doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know...
