I agree. It's one of the few languages in the world that I find hard on the ears. But, that's subjective.
My warranty date says 8 March which I assume is the date they allocated it to me and shippped it out.
If you go here : https://supportprofile.apple.com
Type in your apple id and password it will list all your devices and you will see your iPad 3 with S/N and warranty dates.
Nothing exciting but you get to see your actual S/N and know for sure you got one coming lol
Don't worry guys. It's the real iPad (3rd gen). These guys from Tinhte.vn never do fake review. They didn't get The new iPad themselves, though. The new iPad is from another guy from Muabaniphone.vn (wondering if they follow the truck waiting for an iPad fall off
), they gave it to Tinhte.vn to do a unbox video. I'm Vietnamese btw.

my iPad 2 box (given to me on Halloween) had iCloud on it...might have been a sticker but it was there.

I thought it was funny that I got a kindle fire ad at the end of the video...
Gee, I wonder who 'procured' this iPad for this video? Great opportunity to get people to watch your ad.
Kind of strange that they made the box so similar.
At Apple stores this isn't much of an issue, but go to Best Buy or something and people will be confused:
1. Nearly identical box (minus the background on the iPad)
2. iPad 2 on the shelf right next to iPad.
3. iPad 2 at $399 vs $499 for "iPad"

I'm still wondering what the logic is behind called it "The New iPad". What is it going to be next year? "The New New iPad" or "The newer iPad"?
In my opinion they should have gone with "iPad 3" or "iPad 2012".
Edit: wow, disagree with something Apple does and you get a negative rating on your post.

Nope. If you look closely, you will see that the box of the iPad 2 is upside down. The menu bar is on the top.
I think the next iPad will be called The new iPad while this iPad will then be referred to as the early 2012 iPad and the same for future iPads minus the rumored 7.85" iPad
iPad 2 boxes starting in 4Q of last year that came shipped pre-loaded with iOS5 had the iCloud symbol.
There's GLbenchmark info for iPad 3 already:

Now that you point that out I see. Thanks.
2nd place isn't bad.
3rd, still in on the podium!
Yeah, you came in 4th and still feel the need to throw me some attitude? Sorry I didn't study the box like you did. You're cool and I suckOr the box is upside down
(maybe read all the responses before acting like a DB to the new guy. That will help keep you from looking like a tool
)

Did anyone else notice that the box in the video was pretty mangled? What did he do to this thing to get it open?
