What, no iPad 3 thread yet?

Finally was able to place an order for one... the website has been customer ddos'ed all day.

It may replace laptops for me. The resolution is a big thing for me: with an app that can deal with DNG files correctly, it will definitely be my travel companion.
 
Finally got through as well. I sprang for the 4G option - resale covers a little bit of the $130 extra, and I can see 4G actually being useful for work when I need it.
 
Have to say, what apple have been able to do with their marketing is fantastic. The fact that this tread on RFF exists is just pure marketing magic. Apple have even been able to keep the cult/magic around the brand after their products is everywhere, owned by everyone. Marketing magic.

(and I fall for it too, have an ipad2)
 
I have two early teens and none of us watch TV anymore because of the iPad. I found myself telling the kids to watch more TV last week just so we can do something together. I read 10x more than I used to due to these tablets.
 
i still have the ipad original and have been waiting for the new one...i skipped the ipad2 just cause.

this one looks good...i love my ipad...it does so much, is so convenient, i can type way faster on it than my home keyboard...has instant, constant contact with the net, email...great display for photos...my blog looks fantastic...and the new ipad will be even better for that.
and there are some great photo editing apps too!


Every once in a while I just wished it could do flash.
 
Nah, I loved the Sculley era. I still miss my Newt (stolen out of my apartment--wonder if that lowlife ever realized it was a German OS version, useless in English), and the Powerbook Duo was just awesome.
 
So it has more resolution and is faster?

Eh... personally I like laptops a lot more. I'm actually beginning to tire of the iOS interface a little bit. It's very....rigid.
 
I wonder if there is a weak or strong correlation between PC/Mac preference and conservative/liberal political bent. (I'm thinking it is positive.)

I'm not a fan of infographics, but for brevity's sake, check out this and this.

There are some problems with the methodology. But I think if you did a more comprehensive study, you'd come away with basically the same conclusions.
 
Just ordered today the 64GB version in white. Can hardly wait for it to be delivered but there's no rush since our big trip to eastern Europe and Istanbul isn't until May.
 
What Joe said. I love hearing how clever Apple are at marketing like that's all they have succeeded at. I am happy with the original iPad and might consider the new one. I don't like waste though and I'll stick with this one for the moment. DNG files are very slow to deal with on the original iPad. One of my scientist colleagues says he can't write anything to make the iPad 2 fall over so maybe DNG and the iPad 3 will be practical.
