Has the iPad 3 Exceeded Your Expectations?

It's another game changer - at least as far as the screen, graphics go. Everyone else's pos's are going to look just that much worse now.
Tish, pshaw, nonsense. Haptic feedback came on the blog rumour list TODAY and was always a long shot. Quad core CPU was always one of those will they / won't they things and frankly it was always the GPU side that would need boosting and they did that. Siri was one of those things that got less likely the more you thought about it as the iPad doesn't necessarily have an always-on connection to utilise it.
Apple delivered pretty much exactly what people expected. And that's fine. Look at the iPad and you've got easily the best tablet on the market for the majority of people and something that other vendors are going to struggle to compete against (bear in mind tablet = hardware AND software). For me it was exactly what I wanted, no price increase, some great looking software (iPhoto in particular may be a godsend) and availability within ten days. Spot on.
This nonsense about how "it's just a spec update" is a joke.
No matter what Apple did, morons here would still say "meh, it's not more than it actually is, it's only incremental and not revolutionary". It's meaningless because it just moves the goalposts higher than whatever Apple actually does.

Where's 128GB???
No iPad for me this year. Saving up for a MacBook Air!
I also thought that Apple would bring out a bigger HDD on the newer iPad.
But, l think that Apple is thinking about iCloud, so onboard storage shouldn't be a big issue....that's how l read it.
Met them, and that was it.
Long gone are the days where Apple had something new and unheard of every product launch

Stop reading the rumor mill and you can go back to those days instantly.
At this rate, i think Apple has left the field WIDE OPEN for smart connectivity between HD capture devices and offline monitoring and data storage.
Thanks Apple.... Time to make some skype calls ...

Heh. Suppose so. Felt with the 4S especially though, there was no... spark or magic.
I didn't have high expectations coming in so the new iPad is fine. Only complaint is wish it had a better front facing camera.
I have to confess that's probably my biggest irritation.
Siri, I'm not fussed about. Would have been nice to get 128GB version, but again not too fussed. Something that is a "game-changer" like haptic display would have been interesting, but again "meh".
Bit to produce a massive upgrade of the display, then fail to upgrade the fron-facing camera is staggering. iPad is the perfect Facetime device and that camera already looks poor on the lower res display now. It's going to look dreadful on the new iPad.
I say boycott the ipad till Apple gets it right. We'll give 'em till Labor Day.
No rush... pass the popcorn
