I'm hoping the haptic feedback rumors are true. That would really make me go out and preorder one.

Thinking I may just bite the bullet on this one.

shilala · 03-07-2012, 12:42 PM

I just tried to order online, it isn't ready. They're updating right now, I got to see prices, etc.
I also tried calling, they won't even answer because of the call volume.

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 12:43 PM

It is confirmed, Apple is calling this "The new iPad". Not sure that was the smartest move but meh...

The presentation is over now and the new iPad info page is up on the Apple site. Store is still down though.

I "gave" my wife the iPad 2 for Christmas with the caveat that I was waiting until now to get it... she wanted to save the money and didn't need it right away so she was totally fine with it. We are having our 2nd kid in a couple weeks and she wanted an iPad by then so our 3 and 1/2 year old daughter can do kids apps on it. I have no desire to get the new iPad because my daughter won't know the difference!?! LOL

So now I will wait another week to see how much of a sale price other retailers will sell the iPad 2 for... I'm hoping for $299 - $349 for the 16GB

$399 for the 16GB iPad2... it's going to continue being sold at $100 less than the 16GB wifi only announced today. The sales are going to be on the 3G, 32gb and 64gb models. Frankly for $100 it's worth buying the newest model one just for the screen.

Huh? Apple has not increased the price on a model refresh in years. They update and improve then, at the worst, leave the price the same. The pricing structure for the 3rd gen iPad is exactly the same as the original.

You've obviously missed the trend with all mobile devices, not just Apple's, if you think bigger, chunkier and heavier is better

I said "other" retailers. Other places always have sales, not Apple. I'm hoping for $299, but realistically should get one for $349.

so... the retina display comparison on this page:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/

... doesn't work in Safari on 10.7 ... ???
DOES work in IE on Win 7 ???

WTF Apple?

I need to get my from Best Buy (I have a huge credit there after selling back a couple of old laptops). I hope that they will be taking pre-orders soon...

I REALLY hope the FaceTime camera is better than the front-facing camera on the iPad2, the resolution on that one was so horrible they might as well no have bothered
