siri not here

if siri functionality of the iPhone 4s was on the iPad i would be very happy. It would allow me to use the device as personal assistant. Something that i would value more than a upgrade in display resolution. By not releasing today Siri on iPad but only dictation it seems that the iPad fail the mark in progress if you compare it to the development of the iPhone4s.
In my opinion the iPad should have more functionality features than the iPhone, logically if the tablet market is taking over the pc market. For me as user i have to wait till Siri is fully adapted into iOS for iPad before i feel comfortable buying it. Just because the iPhone 4s offers more a better camera, also retina, complete Siri while the iPad have lesser camera quality and no siri.
Not knowing what Steve job will do but if apple is stretching their technology knowledge advancements which can be adopted into products on the shelf to generate more money by just releasing minor features. Something that would go against apple's philosophy in the time apple versus windows. Seem their is oppurtunnity in the tablet market for Siri like service, how longer apple is holding out on their iPad device with Siri other tablet makers could start releasing such innovation.
They can prove to court that iPhone works with sire but not iPad. Which mean apple could hold back this technology advancement. Holding back technology in devices is aloud but if another company produce a tablet with Siri like technology they could convince court that apple is holding back so that other companies can not compete wit their iPad product.......What will Steve Job think....?
 
I ordered two over the phone. I don't have an email yet (I just got off the phone), but I have a order number.

:D

If Siri dictation means I can get Siri to send via Messages and Email, I'm good with that. A lot of the other Siri functionality seems like it is based on the need to find things on the go. I can live without that...but my work phone is a 4S.
 
Preordered White 64GB, WiFi+4G LTE, AT&T. No in-store pickup available. Now awaiting e-mail confirmation...

Yea that confused me why no in store pick up... But at least now I don't have to take next Friday off to stand in line.
 
Uk store

absolutely impossible to order off the uk store. tried going through the US store, which worked, until it wouldnt let me change the country lol. desperation drove me to this.
 
Got mine. Black 32gb LTE. You would think Apple would have better servers for ordering by now!

I downloaded the Apple Store App on my iPhone but it keeps crashing every I open it. Why does the UK store have to be down? Not fair! *storms off in a huff*

The cynic in me says all the server capacity has been given the Americans...
 
Released and running. No JB. My HDTV is 720p anyhow so no new :apple:TV for me!

B

Oh sweet...didnt know they were releasing it for the ATV2 :D I'm not bothered about 1080p vs 720p tbh, not a huge tv watcher and most the stuff I do watch is too old to be in true HD anyway lol
 
For all the billions they have, I don't understand why they cannot provide live video coverage of their event when they know a lot of us are going to watch it? :rolleyes:

Because if they did, global productivity would instantly fall to zero.
 
Anybody get through but still waiting on an email? I have a confirmation number but I've been its been over 45 minutes and I still haven't gotten the email.... I'm a bit concerned.
 
You don't need iOS5.1 for that to happen. It's been doing it all evening on 5.0

Hmm was working for me before, well working as much as it would show the "We’ll be back soon" message.
I go through this crap every time, the pain of 'cmd r’ is soon forgotten when that confirmation email comes through though :)
 
It's not Quad Core. They are misleading the public somewhat. It's a dual core CPU with four graphics cores. Notice that they never trumped the fact that iPad (and iPhone) had two graphic cores. It's still good though - the graphics will be faster.

Thank you! Rethinking. :)
 
I ordered a 64GB Black WiFi only model right after the store came back online around 3:55pm ET. I was worried for a bit because the web page never came back and stayed on "Processing Your Order" but I eventually received an email Order Acknowledgment thanking me for my order. So I guess it went through ok.

I just wish I knew the same iPad 2 dock and Smart Cover worked with the new iPad as I included those in an auction when I sold my iPad 2 a few days ago. I doubt I will buy another Smart Cover, but I definitely used the dock all the time. (sigh).
 
11:30 pm here in England, who’s giving up? I’m leaving it until the morning (don’t be greedy people)
 
Nice update, especially for new iPad owners or those coming from the iPad. You know, the Plain Old Original iPad. No earth shattering news today and nowhere near what the hype built it up to be.
 
Disappointing the UK store isn't back up yet! Nearly 6 hours since the announcement! Plus, the whole iPad section of Apple.com/uk is skewed too. Some serious CSS/alignment issues cracking off!

Guess the UK team just all buggered off home at 17:00 GMT!
 
agreed, i may give up, UK store is a joke. Not at any point has it given me a SLIGHT opportunity to order.
 
UK is up and my order went through very quick!
Obviously waited for people to give up (I almost did!)
