blame apple, not best buy.

it will always be called "the new ipad" by retailers...but now the 4th ipad is called the "4th generation ipad"

If you interrupt the sale, Best Buy can ask you to leave the store and can bar you from coming back.

Oh that would be so cool. Barred from Best Buys for life. I'd even start introducing myself by saying "Hello, I'm Bob and I'm barred from Best Buy for life".

You take things way too literally. The new one is called iPad. That's all. iPad. Just like the last model: iPad. That's all. iPad.

huh? the iPad 3rd generation was never referred to as iPad 3 or the third generation iPad in stores

it was always referred to as "The New iPad"...even on Apple's site as well

the iPad 4 was referred to as the fourth generation iPad in the presentation and now is being referred to as "iPad with Retina"

i'm not sure why the obvious is so difficult to understand...

No. It was "The new iPad". Emphasis on lower case 'new' as in that part of speech you should have learned in grade school English class called an adjective.

I thought you were suggesting buying the v4 and returning it with your v3 tucked in the box in it's place.

I constantly correct people in stores... Not sure what the big deal is. Most people thank me for my help. I often direct people to online stores who have better pricing, especially of they do not need it immediately.

If sales people mislead a consumer either on purpose or due to lack of knowledge, why should we not help out. I do pre-sales telecom engineering. I try to make sure I fully understand any technology or product before I start talking about it. I feel my credibility relies on providing accurate information, especially if I want them to come back and use me as a continued resource.

What is the difference?

Wow some of you on here have some pretty miserable attitudes.

Don't knock the hustle eh?
