I know that feel bro. I want a slightly smaller iPad with the rumoured specs of iPad 3. Shit ain't happening for a while though (if ever, Apple may never make an iPad Mini). Imagine the iPad 3's resolution on this:

Yeah iPad 2's were really hard to come by after launch, the ship times were high. I remember having to troll Futureshop.ca everyday to see if any became available in-store, then rush over there to pick it up. I'm hoping Apple has ample stock this time.
PSP was meant to do more than play games, but goddamn was it terrible at everything else. I remember trying to use it at launch as a MP3 player...painful.

I saw this one getting used over the weekend: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/tablet-accessories/for-ipad/devices/fold-up-keyboard-ipad
Though there's nothing covering the front. The lady used it with a basic smart cover.
Anybody have an answer on this?
I believe it has around 1000 set charges? Not sure.

The iPad on the right looks enormous. He must be a very small person.

The answer is you shouldn't be worrying about how you charge your iPad. There is no "correct" way to do it, other than avoiding frequent complete discharges and storing it for long periods with no charge.
What I mean is, partial charges don't count as a full charge. So it's not like topping up 10% 1000 times will deplete your battery. Even the stated 1000 charges is before your battery reaches 80% of it's initial capacity; so it's not like it will suddenly quit working.

Correct. PSV may be able to justify the $250 pricetag better than the 3DS did (due to better hardware), but it's still going to struggle at that price. I doubt either the 3DS or PSV will as successful as their predecessors. The market has changed drastically. Apple is eating up marketshare.
Sony/PSP diehards and hardcore gamers, and not much else. Same goes for Nintendo and the 3DS.
No event in February. Looks like March.

iPad 3 delayed, coming out this summer. Vita's save.

The iPad 2 was announced in March as-well, guess it makes sense.
Apple tends to release a week or two after annoucements, iPad 2 was annouced in March as well. iPad 1 is the exception because when its a brand new product they have a bigger gap from annoucement to release. When it's a revision they tend to only announce right before shipping.
Ok. What's at stake?
No chance there is a 4 week wait between it. Apple has never done that for a revision, they avoid doing that at all costs due to drop off in sales of the previous verision even with a price drop.
They won't break protocol for the first time ever for this. The max it will be is from the iPhone 4 annoucement to release since that also had Retina.
Nothing.
I edited, what I really mean is it will be roughly 3 weeks. This is the kind of thing I'd love to be wrong about though, if it means the wait is shorter.
@Cheebo, where did you get 4 weeks from?

I just need that mid-March release, and I'll be fine.

I'm just praying for an iPad 1 style release, where I can order online for a release date arrival. iPad 2's release was chaos by comparison...(at least in Canada).

I'll try to place my order as soon as the updated online store on the Apple page goes up. My hype level is through the roof right now.

Couldn't hurt. I know a certain someone here will say it's not necessary, but I wish I got one for my OG iPad, because I have some (visible) scratches on the screen. Maybe the glass on the iPad 2 is much better, so what do I know.
Nooooo. April is too far away! Shut up!

I don't use one, but I do clean the screen from time to time with a soft cloth and the spray I use to clean my sunglasses.

I read that you're not supposed to use any kind of spray as it affects that oil-repelling coating they put on it. I just wipe mine with a lint-free cloth occasionally. All fingerprints just rub off, no liquids required.
It's like magic! I really don't understand actually... because the cloth doesn't appear to be getting dirty either....

yeah, especially when contrasted with Apple's 'smart' cover which accumulates dirt and leaves streaks on the iPad screen. ugh, disgusting.
Anytime we have to write scripts just to constantly check inventory and try to make it is ridiculous. I want the iphOne 4 launch again. Got it in the mail on release day. The future.
I have a feeling the iPad 3 launch is going to be way way way more crazy than the iPad 2 launch. iPad 1's launch was pretty low-key since people were still iffy on iPad. iPad 2's was crazy but...it seems like hype for iPad 3 is already way higher than after iPad 2 was revealed.

You won't need one.
This isn't a Gameboy we are talking about here. Never going to happen.
You don't want an Apple product then sir.
I want this:
You don't want to learn how to make folders for icons?

I want the iPad 3 but with Android 4.0 and made by Samsung.

Tim Cook sounds like he thinks iPad is going to eventually fill all the needs MacBooks currents fill, at least enough where there would be no need for a ARM based Air:

Didn't know where to post this exactly, but I need a bit of help. I've been reading a book on my iPhone/iPad with iBooks, taking notes, highlights, etc etc.
Problem now is, I need to quote some parts for an essay, which obviously needs to cite the page number. What the hell do I do? I don't have the physical book, so I can't know the actual page number.
Is there some way to deal with this?

If this isnt just talk but instead truly indicative of where Apple wants to take the platform, I think itll be interesting to watch just how they'll build in more of the expectations one would have of Mac OS X on a laptop into iOS without making it overly complex for the mass audience.
Cant wait to see iOS 6.

I have no idea how they could make iOS on the iPad interesting. Right now it's just an app launcher.

I've never understood this argument. My Mac is nothing but an app launcher.
Not really.
iOS works on the basis of programs performing tasks, and everything needed stays within that program.
OS X works with files, which come in various formats, and can be opened, created, and edited using any number of apps.
There's definitely a difference between the file management system and app-centricity. Still, I don't understand that argument either, tbh.
All true, but as an end user, the result is the same. I activate the Mac and launch apps. I activate the iPad and launch apps.
if Apple plans to expand iOS functionality to be more like Mac OS, as Cook implies, I’d say they’d focus on inter-app communication and data sharing first. that’s where I feel it’s very limited at the core level.
So, instead of having to install a safari bookmarlet to send something to omnifocus, I would be able to send a page or copied text to the app via context menus installed by omnifocus into the system. or an ability to extend the system keyboard outside the app itself.
I was impressed by windows 8 “agents”. that type of idea of safely handing off data and some services to a system designated app would work in iOS.
adding things like text expansion capabilities to a system wide level.
expanding the notifications system and adding more background multitasking APIs.
The actual springboard may not change for a long, long time but a lot of the guts that determine the limitations of apps will change.

Then maybe you should get a real PC?
Just kidding.
The difference is that you can do real multitasking on a PC. I'm looking at my monitors and can see my Twitter lists, my IM contacts, my e-mail, my browser and I can quickly access my music library at the same time, without having to switch between them. Well, I do switch between the apps with my mouse, but I don't have to interrupt my work/browsing/movie watching when I'm doing it.
And that's why, my dear crack addict with a tag, I refuse to consider the iPad as a "PC" and why FS apps on the PC are BS.
