The New iPad Reviews Embargo?

guess

My guess, either this weekend or monday. Mossberg has been silent he's probably in barbados or something playing some angry birds space on his new iPad3

 

Heh heh, been wondering this too. I was expecting a glut of reviews today, but no dice. It'll be interesting to see if the reviews hit tomorrow or Friday.

 

Heh, how could it be Monday? You get people to agree to embargos by giving early copies, any review site could review it on their own Friday for everything aside from battery life tests.

 

Ha agreed, horrible guess. My guess is late tonight/tomorrow at the latest...

 

If it's like last year, they should all come out at 9:01 PM EST tonight.

iPad 1 and iPad 2 reviews came out at Wednesday 6PM Pacific.

iPhone 4 and 4S reviews came out at Tuesday 6PM Pacific.

I don't remember much before that.

 

My spidey senses are telling me that you're probably right!

 

definitely tonight.

 

While I will certainly read through reviews, I will say that I don't see how there is much they can add though. Pretty straight forward upgrade.

Some battery life/charge time tests are really all I don't already know. Maybe some reactions to non-retina apps on the retina screen.

 

They're waiting for the checks to clear before they overrate it.

 

Solid detective work there buddy

 

Oh well. It's almost 23:00 here so I'll probably read it when I have woken up and arrived at work.

 

I'm no expert, but shouldn't this be reversed? "You allow people early copies only if they agree to embargos." Otherwise, Apple wouldn't have to worry about embargos. Just don't give out early copies.

-->iDv.

 

I can say for sure that I don't have one.

 

+1 here (in several ways )

 

Looks like the verge has accidentally added their verge score to the iPads page... Unless that is what the normally do?
They scored it 9.4

good catch, i think the release will be tonight like last year.

 

Great catch!

 

Good find.

For reference, they gave the original iPad a 8.3 and the iPad 2 a 8.8.

EDIT: Oops, the iPad/iPad 2 scores are actually the average user review score. The Verge didn't exist back then.

 

I checked for that too but those are just user reviews. I think it didn't exist a year ago.

 

Scores on the verge have now vanished.

 

The one bonus to my girlfriend being in Japan until next month is my having to stay up later to talk to her means I will be awake to see all the juicy iPad reviews.

 

I am expecting it to happen tomorrow night. But if it is tonight, you should only have another hour or so.
