If you're concerned about a heavy iPad, you should seriously consider waiting for the iPad Air release.
 
I heard the new iPad is actually just going to be 4 iPhone 4s taped together, giving it a ridiculous screen resolution, but making it weigh 19.2 ounces.
 
i think the rear facing camera on ipad is over kill, whos really going to shoot photos with an ipad? its not exactly small.
 
anyone else somewhat disappointed with the weight reduction? I'd rather it thicker but lighter

No, I mean the majority of the weight is due to the glass and display. What were you expecting the weight to be reduced by 50%?

I don't think we'll even notice the few ounces it is reduced by but it seems the smaller size will be more noticeable,
