I couldn't imagine buying an iPad 2 for $400 when for $100 more you get:

Significantly better display with twice the screen resolution
A significantly better camera with big resolution jump (1MP -> 5MP)
1080p/30fps video recording
Faster processor
More RAM
Built in dictation

Dunno about that, depends on what they want... i don't use the my tablet camera at all... couldn't care less about video either...

iPad 2 is plenty fast as is... the "new iPad" only confirms an increase in GPU Power and that's only to support the Retina display, nothing about increasing CPU power much.

Dictation... yawn...

at least now this makes the iPad 2 Wifi price competitive at the $400 point with the ASUS Transformer 16GB...

So...

Transformer 16GB $400 vs iPad 2 WiFi 16GB
Transformer Prime 32GB $500 vs the new iPad 16GB
Transformer Prime 64GB $600 vs the new iPad 32GB

"Future June 2012"
Transformer Infinity 32GB $600 vs the new iPad 32GB
Transformer Infinity 64GB $700 vs the new iPad 64GB

With Apple winning the resolution game and winning the iOS Ecosytem game, I think ASUS will need to drop the price by $100 each for the Infinity competitive.

Samsung needs to get their ass in gear and get a tablet with this out.

32GB, and 64GB versions are needed with microSD support that way we can have 64GB microSDXC to bring a total 128GB of storage...

Otherwise Apple will continue to remain supreme in the spec game where it matters the most... the screen.

Just got a 64GB white iPad. Sign me up as one of the people that are happy they are dropping the stupid post-iOS naming (2,3,HD...whatever).

Finally Got Through

Ordered 64GB 4G through the store it was sluggish but it went through.

First iPad and glad I waited.

 

[Leonard1818]

I get to the initial page (sometimes) and as soon as I click preorder it gives me "we'll be back soon"

 

[rdrr]

My order of a 16 GB White iPad 3rd Gen, was just processed. Supposed to be here the 16th..please say this is true!!

Quick start a,

"My order said it would be here the 16th, but it didn't show!"

and a,

"How come people are getting it early, and I am still showing it arriving the 16th!"

thread.

 

[sartios]

Again, like every year with Idevices

Dissapointment

And Again, like every year/month/week with Idevices

More sales and you totally love it


Fanboys!!

Are you serious? what do you want the thing to do? wipe your ass? some expect way to much from things, the display alone is worth getting it for!

Pathetic.

I think we are a few of the early lucky ones. Got my 32gb ordered & confirmed...then went to click on "account" and the store is down again.

 

[doingitlive]

It's on Apple's main page.

[monsieurpaul]

Just ordered mine on Canadian Apple store.

Shipping estimate between 16th and 20th. Hope this is true

processing order

 

[grmatt]

Ahhhh!

I submitted it. Decided against the 4G. Currently I use the hotspot feature on my iPhone 4 when I need it which works fine. I figure the "new iPhone" will have 4G so I can use that as a 4G hot spot when I need it.

Haven't gotten the email yet, so I screen capped the confirmation page and I'm afraid to navigate away from it. I'll probably keep it up until I get an email.

EDIT: Email in... we're golden!

 

[unplugme71]

got my thank you page!

 

[CXsjr]

takes the piss...its impossible to order in the uk.

WTF .... why is it taking so long FFS??!!

Smart Covers

Has it been confirmed that the smart covers are the same – the ones they're offering when you go through the order process?

 

[GeneralDisarray]

Was able to complete an order using the Chrome browser. Safari is still not working. Got confirmation page, but still waiting for the email. It still said delivery on the 16th. Crossing my fingers the email will say the same thing.

Son of a B!#*$!!!

Got all the way to the checkout and the site crapped out.

Way to plan Apple. Maybe you should have leased some EC2 server time from Amazon.

Weird, for me it worked the other way around.
