Ugh why didn't they give a time that pre-orders start? Any minute now? 2pm? 3pm? I'm getting indigestion.
Got a tip for us?

Thank god they've gone back to the simple iPad name, wasn't looking forward to buying an iPad 72 HD sometime in the future.
Let me guess...you'll buy it anyway.
I might buy it as a gift for my mom or dad to do Facetime with...and they do not own an iOS device yet. The prices are still the same so silly for me to buy an iPad 2.
I am actually concerned that the carriers might jack up the monthly price for the 4g versions . Has anyone seen info yet on the pricing structure.
I am sure Verizon & AT&T will announce that consumers can view 10 web-pages and 15 emails per month on their BLAZING LTE networks (I know, AT&T isnt LTE)
Well, the Rolex comparison is not entirely accurate. As the Rolex watches change over time, they get different model numbers, and the aficionados use the model numbers to describe the watch. For instance, my no-date Submariner from the early 2000's is a 14060m, while a no-date Submariner from the early 1970's is a 5513. If you care about the differences between the models, you need a way to uniquely refer to the different models.
HERO a term from movie production
The term HERO refewrs to the prop or in this case touched up photo that was used onscreen or in close up....
Actually I just think its "iPad" like Macbook and so on

I think it's an adequate update. Spec bumps, retina display. But a great update? There's nothing game-changing here. Nothing your average Joe or Jane will be talking about in the hallway. And at that price range, I think you need a lightning bolt feature to get the masses talking and interested in a $500-800 tablet.
Thank God somebody agrees with me! It's not that they don't make good products, it's just that these days, they don't seem to be as innovative as they used to be whereas the likes of Samsung and ASUS with their Android products are leaving them dead in the water whether the Sheeple like it or not.
At the end of the day, I'm just being brutally honest when I say that the new iPad is a disappointment, especially as I swore that I would buy one this year, but now I'm going to wait till next year when the next iPad comes out with a storage increase (hopefully).
Welcome to the world of tech blogs.
They whip everyone into a frenzy with sensationalistic articles and then people go into things with unrealistic expectations to the point where if it doesn't grow wings, fly, and shoot lasers out of the camera, it's just "smoke and mirrors" upgrade.
They're all the same - Gizmodo, Techcrunch, Engadget? Just the tech equivalent of the National Enquirer.
I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal over this. Apple has done it this way with the various iPod lines for years.
Clearly everyone will simply refer to it as "3rd Gen" for diagnostic purposes.
they are going to crush the competition and every major news outlet will be talking about this
are you for real
Does it have the same GPU as in the PS Vita guys? Sorry if its been answered already. Cant keep up
Nice, but superficial update.
iPad: Eye Candy edition.
I just question the practicality of some of the stuff they showed.
Who is really going to use their iPad as their main camera? Does anyone really like games on the iPad more than consoles and dedicated handhelds? Anyone really going to edit 1080p videos on the iPad? OR use it as a photo library? Any group of 4 going to sit around and jam with 4 iPads?
REtina is great, but not going to change anything. Just make it all look better. Extra power all goes to supporting Retina.
I will refrain from checking out the new iPad so my iPad 2 screen will remain looking great.
