Nice try, but no.

But if that was the case I'd be more than happy to be felt up by TSA to get my hands on one early! :D
 
Tweaked form factor?

I would like to buy a case for the back side of the iPad 3. Is the form factor EXACTLY the same, or did they tweak it a little?

Too many hits not enough servers. I wonder if they have separate farms for US and UK as I can place an order on the US store but obviously they won't deliver from there. Both stores use the same DNS hostname which points to the US if pinged from the UK.

So why is the UK still down at nearly 11pm, store app just crashes and keep getting the post it note in my browser, US, Australia and Canada all seem to be up :(

Come on Apple Please

I don't get it either seeing as majority of the other stores are live. Oh well...i'm off to bed.
 
Oh wow.. bigtime fail apple.

I just got a much more capable 32GB, quad core Android tablet, with IPS display that's the same price as more limited (in terms of usability) iPad.

I can expand memory, I got a keyboard dock (with trackpad) that basically make it into a laptop AND I can use USB devices including a game controller, mouse, keyboard, external storage, etc... not to mention the bluetooth connectivity as well.
Oh.. and HDMI output as well and I can load whatever I want on it (without hacking).

iPads used to be at the top, but now they're playing catch up and, with Apple's slow release cycle, I'm afraid they're getting left behind.

Apple would have had to pull out something big and unfortunately this ain't it.

Of course it's still going to sell like crazy because Apple has great advertisement and people are brainwashed.

I'm by no means saying it's a BAD product, I'm sure it's great, I'm just saying there are better products available already.

I know people will reply with the "Android fanboy" comments, but call it what you will.. the tablet I got is just a more capable product.
Oh, and I do own two apple devices.. an iPod and Airport express, and they're both great. ;)
 
iPad2 $399!!!

To have the iPad2 for $399 was the only good news today:) Better display, camera, and chip are all nice but nothing revolutionary or worth getting in line for lol.. My Guess is Apple is working on a all new iPad 3D with a different housing/case which should be ready by the end of the year or so.. stay tuned lol. Either way I might just save my money and go for the ipad2. Cheers;)

Adobe has stopped development of Flash on mobile platforms. No one is getting it anymore.

So Apple promises more saturated colors. Oh oh, What are all the loyalist who hate the saturated colors of superamoled gonna say now. Windows 8 tablets this year will be the ones to offer a real full OS experience. It's not even close. But I'm sure a lot of kids will still want one. Leave the real tablets for the adults.

Saturation is likely their way of expressing luminosity. It does not imply compromised dynamic range, which is the real issue.

You could always do more on an android tablet by virtue of the platform. This is not a new or relevant talking point to this announcement specifically.

I can expand memory, I got a keyboard dock (with trackpad) that basically make it into a laptop AND I can use USB devices including a game controller, mouse, keyboard, external storage, etc... not to mention the bluetooth connectivity as well.

Congratulations. People buy this because they want a tablet. If they wanted a laptop, they'd buy a laptop.

AirPlay plus iCloud expand the iPad's storage beyond its internal memory.

iPads used to be at the top, but now they're playing catch up and, with Apple's slow release cycle, I'm afraid they're getting left behind.

Not really. Landscape is much the same.

Of course it's still going to sell like crazy because Apple has great advertisement and people are brainwashed.

They are so brainwashed that they report higher satisfaction than other platforms. Way to go Apple!

I'm by no means saying it's a BAD product, I'm sure it's great, I'm just saying there are better products available already.

Depends on your needs. If you demand customization and playing any media format under the sun, maybe. Otherwise, likely not.

Hey guys I just killed someone but I adopt kittens from the shelter so that's ok, right guys?
 
I'm glad that the form factor didn't change since I like this current one. Also, glad that I don't have to buy another smart cover, I really like my product red cover.


NOTE: I'll be using this as a e-reader and sporadically to watch movies. I figured the white would contrast too much from the screen when reading or watching movies, so I got black (again). For anyone who has white, can anyone let me know? It's not a big deal since it's only the front anyway, which is covered by my smart cover most of the time.

How much RAM does it have?
Click to expand...

According to Epic Games president Mike Capps, likely 1GB. He explicitly stated it had more RAM than the PS3 or xbox 360, both of which have 512MB. That does make 768MB a possibility, but that seems unlikely.

1 gig according to some hacker, but we'll have to wait for a teardown by ifixit to be sure.
Click to expand...

ifixit can't do anything. The RAM is part of the CPU package and the chips are hidden from view by the ceramic casing.
 
New iPad? Think i'll wait for New New iPad.
