Yes, its bid deal when ipad 2 is already heavy. Are'nt we supposed to get lighter with upgrade
You are so smart!!!
Why do people do this!?If you have 15 reasons, I repeat, 15 reasons why "you" wouldn't upgrade do you really need to post it on a public forum.
Sounds like you're trying to justify reasons as to not upgrade.. Does it make you feel better?
Once you work with the new resolution, you can't go back.
Don't want an iPad3? Don't go see the screen, trust me.
OP has 15 reasons not to upgrade when I only needed one reason to upgrade: retina.
Is not discussion and making one's meanings known and discussed one of the main reason to have a forum like this and to contribute to it as is done?!
Or is it an internal fanclub that has little or no tolerance of critical points of view?
Really, in a deep way, such a post as the quoted is next to being incredible - and totalitarian.
And there are BTW many more of the same kind and attitude, even one by one of the moderators, who therefore cannot have a sound idea of his role and of the intention of a forum.

[...] If you cannot take them without getting personal then ignore them or at the very least keep on topic and stop snapping at everyone who disagrees.
You totally miss my point, or are just unwilling to see it: The ones creating problems with their "snapping" in this forum, are the ones that tries (in vain) to disqualify "everyone who disagrees", like even one of the moderators.
If this is the policy, the forum really has a serious problem: It then IS a fanclub, and tries to reduce or ridicule and/or in other ways silence attempts to write seriously about possible negative aspects of or problems with the iPad (and other Apple products). The forum needs moderators who are able to take their job seriously and have a sincere attitude to the products and the people's reactions to the Apple products as they appear in the forum.
This may be a problem for this forum - at least for all the persons who not have the immature worship attitude to Jobs and Apple.
For most people it is a very noticeable difference.
I'm currently pondering whether to upgrade my iPad 1 to version 2 or 3. So I took a look at both in my local Apple store and two things surprised me: The weight difference and how difficult it was to spot the difference between the screens. Perhaps the advantages of the Retina display are more apparent in games but frankly I struggled to see the difference.
The iPad 3 is though a technological feat, no question about it.
The heat issue should be top 3.

There is no heat issue. Wired did a test week before last and found that the new iPad falls in the middle of the pack in terms of operating temps. The whole heat issue has become one of the two dead horses that people love to beat on (the other being screen tint in brand new units with uncured adhesive).
Most, if not all, of the OPs 15 complaints are just plain silly. If you don't think the upgrade is justified, don't buy the new iPad. If you don't like the look of the white bezel, get the black one and enjoy it. If you think 3G/LTE is necessary, then get that model and leave the WiFi-only folks alone. If you think the 64 gig model is the bees-knees, accept that other people have different needs and let them enjoy their models. If you think the blue smart cover is the best....
See where I'm going with this? Man, lately these forums are full of people trying to pee on everyone else's parade.
Can I get the 15 minutes of my life back that it took to read about this 15 lame reasons to not buy the best iPad ever?
