sadly I don't think you are being honest with yourself too

Your problem is you have zero appreciation for the engineering effort that goes into delivering something like iPad with a retina screen.

Do you realize that Apple has nothing to do with design and production of LCD panels?
 
am currently on hold with them trying to order...keep phoning them and you eventually get put into the queue
 
I have been looking forward to this announcement for a variety of reasons:

1. It's my bday today so it's fun to hear new Apple news today.
2. I was hoping for news on a new Apple TV (box set and/or an actual TV)
3. Seeing the iPad improve is always nice too.

Having said that I am feeling a little "meh" on the whole thing.

I'd like to have seen a 128GB capacity, BUT I also understand that Flash Memory is still ludicrously expensive and that the $ to Storage points are still nasty.

Other than that, I think I ultimately would like to see major announcements that just tout and spit out a bunch of Computer hardware updates. I am in the market for a new laptop (I'm still rocking a G4 from 2005 that barely funcdtions), and I always love the announcements.

I remember being eager as all get out for MacWorld 2003 or 2004 (I think the January one) and even took off from my Graduate job early to go home and watch the streaming event. I'd like that experience again. :)

Oh well. I'm still happy to hear new stuff released, but I can say I'm not necessarily excited about it as I have been.
 
Registered just to confirm that phone orders were being referred back to the online store. She said I could call back when the store was online again. Thanks!
