I've written off the iPad for the last several years, and now I finally cracked and bought a 64 gig black wifi iPad 4.
So far I love it!
Out of the box I was impressed. The quality control on mine is excellent, fit and finish is great and there is virtually no backlight bleeding. The screen is definitely a bit warmer than my nice cool 4S screen (which I prefer to a warm screen), but that's alright. The screen quality is excellent. This is the first iDevice I've ever had where I didn't put the screen to full brightness.
Text is phenomenal.
I noticed pictures taken with an iPhone camera, or most pictures online for that matter actually don't look that good. I don't think this is an iPad problem, but the rest of the internet needing to "catch up" with Apple's display? Sometimes they actually look pixelated, or at best a hair blurry/soft. Maybe someone can chime in here.
I was really disappointed to see how few of my apps are designed for the iPad. Out of the 32 I have, only 10 are iPad compatible, and most of the major players I'd expect to be compatible aren't--Flickr, iWiki, Skype, Tetris, Angry Birds, etc. Lots of apps I would've expected aren't, but then again I suppose I got most of these before the retina iPad 3 came out so that probably explains it. That said some of the apps that are iPad compatible don't look quite as good as I expected either; a bit pixelated/soft, same as some online pictures. Maybe someone can chime in on this one too.
I also wish iTunes had more view options; not sure I like the way iTunes is laid out, or the lack of options to change it.
Still bummed there's no iPad youtube app, at least not yet.
Charges slower than expected, but that's due to the retina screen. Battery life seems great so far. Device overall feels snappy and well oiled. The A6X does it's job.
Overall though, iTunes and online pictures aside, I love it! It's a fantastic device that has instantly found a place in my hand on the couch!
