Well, I ended up getting it today: 32GB, white iPad 3. Already putting my favorite apps and videos on it and I love it. Nice change to have the white after my 1G iPod touch, iPhone 4, and my dad's iPad (now I don't have to take his). I was able to get it since my mom understood that smaller tablets weren't good for books, and it's not worth it to get a last generation device, and she offered to pay part of it for me. Also got the $50 Back to School iTunes/App Store card so now I can get even more stuff from those stores.
