An "I'm happy" thread

I love it. All the websites and magazines I used to have to pinch in to zoom for the blurry smaller text are pin sharp at regular size. This is a game changer. Subtle but brilliant.
 
This thing is amazing. This is the iPad that the iPad always should have been. Camera's a little weak, but the screen and overall feel of the device is magical. The Display is a bit warm, but it's nice(not really trying to be color accurate on the little guy anyway) Couldn't be happier!
 
This is my First iPad that I am typing from now, I must say I am impressed. I do not have Yellow tint and I am not OCD enough to check for dead pixels or bleeding. I compared it side by side with my Mom's iPad 2 and I could not see my pixels but I could see hers. This thing makes my smart board at school look like it has pixels the side of the Grand Canyon!

Overall, very pleased and happy! I'm even not regretting getting only 16gb as I plan on streaming most content. With the 30 or so apps I have put on so far I have used about 1gb. Have confidence people!
 
Ditto, ditto. All is well here ... delivery, LTE performance, retina display, conversion from iPad2, dictation, etc.

The only negative I can see is the weight. The 2 is heavy, the New is more ... a chore if you are holding it at eye level for an extended period.
 
I had an ipad 1 and wanted to upgrade only for retina. Well having played with this for a couple of hours now, it doesn't even fell like the same device. This is just so much better than the original. So worth the upgrade.
 
Upgrading from a 16gb 1st gen to a 32gb white 3rd gen. It is wonderful! Screen is amazing, it's fast and "snappy". :p I can see the difference from the last screen but my Uncle was a little "meh" about it. I guess you gotta really be able to see and use one everyday to appreciate it.
 
I photoshopped this cuz it felt appropriate.

I kept thinking that line all day when the guy yells "Run home, Charlie! And don't stop till ya get there!" Ecstatic with the new iPad. The more I play with it the more I like it.

Well, I played with it a bit, and I'm only stopping to watch Spartacus. My only gripe so far is the front facing camera isn't the same quality as the rear one. Otherwise, everything about this new iPad just exudes excellence.

I see I have a lot to learn about using iPhoto and GarageBand as well. Played some Machinarium as well, and forgot how hard that game was. The Sketchbook Pro app is sweet too. Now, all I have to do is find a retina background image.
 
I love it, i keep picking it up even when i don't actually have anything to do with it, turning it on, admiring the screen, and then putting it back down again.

I never had the iPad 2, only the 1, so i missed out on a lot of apps over the last year, what are some good apps for me to try out, i just want something interesting to play with, like augmented reality or something?
 
Count me in. This is my first iPad (I am a longtime MacBook Air user who never saw the need for it), and the Retina Display is stunning. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come with future Macs, and hopefully Tim Cook is able to keep tight control over the supply chain. Apart from FedEx being overwhelmed (somewhat out of Apple's control), this is probably the smoothest high profile product launch in Apple's history. So many countries on Day 1, and yet the lines were manageable and iPads were in good supply. I'm guessing there are well over 1 million happy customers today.
 
I just started an iCloud restore on my iPad 3. So far so good! I had to raise my brightness to 75% or so, and the picture looks very good. I can't wait until all my apps are done downloading... it will take a long time.. haha :D:eek::D:D
 
I'm very happy! And my wife is ecstatic -- her first iPad, and this was a surprise gift for her too.

I've spent all afternoon (it showed up around 11 AM) getting my apps and music and stuff moved over. The display is fantastic. I haven't setup the LTE yet; saving that for later. I wish they'd let you buy the data without it expiring after a month; it should stay good til you use it up.

This is my first iPad and I love it. Worried that I'll regret not getting the 4g but at the moment it's perfect.

I'm pretty impressed. I am upgrading from a well used iPad 1, and this is great. Delivered right on time (our FedEx guy said 20% of his deliveries today were the iPad 2). Transferred my unlimited ATT account with no problem. Restored from backup and it's working great. No screen problems, like the Targus Slim case, and also like my first white bezel frame! Cheers!

The only thing I'm unhappy about, is that I did not have a 3G iPad 1 and therefore do not have unlimited data. What I would do to actually be able to access the 4G network without having to worry about my limit. I've already gone through 450 megs today!
 
My new iPad is amazing. I took a couple of pictures with it and they are so clear, it's wonderful. I haven't tried the voice dictation yet, but it's still a nice feature to have. I love how the apps look on it too. I'm looking forward to getting more apps this weekend. One of the apps I'm really looking forward to using is that art rage app. I think it'll be a fun way to pass the time. :)
 
It's absolutely brilliant, I love the retina display. I enjoy the rich and more accurate (even warmer) colors. I don't really feel like it's any heavier or thicker which is a pretty impressive feat. I love that I have dictation now, in fact this entire post was made using dictation. While I might not use it, the improved camera is a welcome addition. Honestly I can't think of anything wrong it's simply perfection.

Apple really delivered this time there is no doubt about it.
