The Hubble's camera is only 16 megapixels. Hah. And that's a relatively recent upgrade. Before that, it was less than 1 MP.
Makes you wonder what kinda camera "the new Hubble
" will have if the Hubble 2 has a 16MP
Due on Friday
Mine is already stationed at FedEx office for a release on Friday. It should be on my doorstep then. I also ordered the Apple TV. With full HD quality and the ability to mirror images from the iPad, this was enough of an upgrade for me. I suspect there will be new applications that will only run on the new iPad.
I will be using this with a new camera scheduled to arrive next week.

I'm sick of the 128 Gb talk...
I'd MUCH RATHER my money go towards making my iPad better, than increasing how many full seasons I can store...
Unless you travel for 6 months in a row between being home, how on earth would you USE 128 Gb on an iPad?! It's not a museum! Why do you people feel the need to store EVERYTHING you've ever watched on them!
[I said USE, as in actively access]
Would you rather have an iPad 2 with 32, 64, 128? Because if they released that, there would be a LOT more upset people than there are now, and they'd at least have a logical complaint!

Grrr... And my iPad has been stuck in Louisville, KY since yesterday at 1:00am.
C'mmon UPS. Move it!!!

And before someone asks - that is Ontario, California, a major shipping hub for FedEx. Not Ontario, Canada.
Wouldn't worry; my iPhone 4 was in China on a Wednesday and arrived around lunchtime on Friday.
Still.....wish my iPad wasn't sitting in Nashville.....want it to get it's retina @ss on the truck!
Yes - Today in Portland is tomorrow in Hong Kong, so coming from Hong Kong the flight time will be mitigated by the timezone. I often loose a day flying to Asia but come back to the US the same day I left.
I honestly can't believe that people are calling this an incremental upgrade. Sure most of the specs and performance are going to be the similar, but this screen is going to be unbelievable. Just like when you see a newer retina iPhone display next to a non-retina one, you can't imagine why you ever thought the original even looked half-way decent. This retina display is exactly why I know I am finally done waiting to purchase my first iPad. It will be several years before any apps or updates come out that will make this thing feel slow or outdated.
Yeah, all those 'crappy', 'minimal incremental' updates worth nothing, and on top of that, the price didn't go up as rumored!
wait... so you're telling me that the iPad comes out Friday and they're showing up at stores TODAY!?!?
Yeah, for me I typically upgrade devices every other release so going from the original iPad to the 2 wasn't "worth it" to me. When I compare everything in my original to the 3rd then it's very much worth it to me now.
As for retina, I remember almost feeling dirty using my iPad after the iPhone 4 arrived
and couldn't wait for the iPad to have such a nice display. Friday I get what I want!People will always b!tch about something. Siri wasn't enough for me to upgrade my iPhone 4 and maybe the next iPhone won't have much that excites me either. If it doesn't, I won't upgrade, but I'm not going to get on here and complain about how much new features don't thrill me.
Maybe because there aren't any new rumours? People seem to think that whenever MR posts one of its more mundane stories it's at the expense of some other story.
"Hey Arn, just got a hot tip that the new Retina iMacs are going to be unveiled in 2 weeks time, shall I write an article?"
"Nah, leave it, we've just run an article about Steve Job's face appearing on a piece of toast - don't want to crowd out the front page"
Personally I prefer 'tickover' articles like this rather than just the same lead story for several days - at least I can ignore them if they don't interest me.
