App Store Not Loading READ HERE!! DO NOT RESTORE YOUR DEVICE!!

Question

Ok Applecare Senior Advisor Tad just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.  He said it should only be a 24 hour or so problem then everything should be up and running again.  i have two new ipads and 2 iphone 4's and everythng works fine but my ipad (figures).  They are actually going to be calling me tomorrow to follow up on the issue.  I will let everyone know if I hear more!

And just so everyone knows this started for me late last night.  I shut my device off this morning hoping it would be working this morning, but not luck obviously.  So I kept researching all the forums, googling, and searching on twitter for solutions or possible solutions.  I tried everything, hard reset, changing date, signing in/out, you name it I did it EXCEPT for a restoration.  Now the first woman I spoke to from applecare this morning walked me through all these steps (even though I had already tried them).  She told me to do a restore and start as a new device.  Well before I had even spoken with her I read several places that people had already tried doing the restores and it didn't work so I wasn't going to listen to her and I didn't do it.  So I called back applecare and finally got transfered to Tad and (sorry in advance Tad!!) I basically lied to him and told him that I DID DO a restore even though I had in fact didn't.  So that's when he put me on hold and basically spilled his guts that it was the apple servers.  So i asked if I had to restore my device again or anything and he said no and that it would take about 24 hours or so for the problem to be fixed and then he procedded to take down my number and said he would call me tomorrow to find out how I my device was doing.  So keep posting to the forums folks!! They are listening, he said he had started to see a number of complaints coming in on this topic.  And by the way this is my first time posting in the Apple forums, I hope I at least helped some of you out!!!
