I'm beginning to think that they may blow us all away and announce haptic feedback with it....

Nobody was mentioning this haptic stuff a week ago, now suddenly it's supposed to be the super secret feature? I'd suggest not getting your hopes up. It seems really far fetched to me. The retina display will already cut their margins significantly if they want to retain the current price points, I just can't see them adding this kind of tech right now. Maybe next year. That article was just bullshit speculation (my 'Apple sources?' Nobody has Apple sources. Especially not a no-name blogger.) Nobody should be convinced by it. This is insane speculation and hype that happens before any Apple event, predicting implausible what if scenarios.

Damn it now you're making me hopeful it will be in tomorrow.

I'm probably the only person who just couldn't care less about the iPad announcement and is completely excited about the new AppleTV. I'll buy one the second it gets jailbroken. It'll solve all my key issues with the current one.

Both. Except for vlc, too big for iCloud.
Issues plural? Sounds like the only stated feature is going to be a resolution bump.
It'll be nominally faster on account of the processor, but I wouldn't even bank on that given how laggy the UI has always been.
This, so this. I cannot wait for the reveal, the media that will likely be available on apple.com shortly after, and of course getting one in my hands in less than two weeks (hopefully).
Super excited for the Apple TV too. This will mean I can move my current ATV to a different room and have more AirPlay flexibility.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm mixed on all of the iPad stuff. New pimp screen = OMFG AWESOME. I'm worried about the A5+ or whatever they are calling it though aka A5 roided up. Going to take a lot of power to push a screen with that resolution. Plus all the news makes it sound like the A6 is coming, but just being held for the next iPhone (seems like semi overkill for the phone at the phone's resolution). Makes me think the iPad 4 will be like the iPad 2 aka the better running version with the same screen hardware as their predecessors aka the iPad 3 and iPad 1.
Maybe the RAM bump + the improved GPU specs will handle it all perfectly fine though.

Seems so.
This is pretty much guaranteed.

What if the $39 accessory is a game controller for the apple tv?

How hilarious would it be if the screen was the same resolution? There's been a lot of hints for the higher resolution, but no smoking gun as far as evidence is concerned.

1080p and a processor bump will go along way with running XBMC.

Seems pretty conclusive to me.
That was never confirmed to be a screen destined for the next iPad. They assumed it was, but did not know for sure.
1. I would cry.
2. I would never believe Apple rumors ever again.
3. I would cry a bit more.
Every single publication with some credibility has said it won't be XGA.

I can't see how people think this'll be haptic. That demo in the video was was cool, but the guy doing the demo even said he though it was a year to twenty-four months away from market. And we don't have a clue what a screen like that means for battery life, do we? We all know by now that Apple will not compromise on battery life.
If they weren't focussed on the battery, we'd have LTE iPhones on the market already. Now we're supposed to believe iPad 3 will have a retina display, LTE, and a screen constantly generating a static charge strong enough to feel?
Nah. I'm not holding my breath.

I wonder if Obama is excited? Amazing how far the iPad has come and how engrained it's become in such a short amount of time.
Probably has been using the new one for a few weeks already: President Obama gets his iPads before you do

Can someone do some CSI voodoo to see if that's a Retina display in his hands?

I asked this on another board, but what are the two cases they are using in that Obama picture?

That would be too obvious.
I don't expect it, but I wouldn't be surprised by it either cause they seem to be hinting at something with the invite.
Depends how many inches away I'd have to hold it away from my face for it to be a "retina" display. (I probably wouldn't buy one considering I'm buying enough expensive crap already this year and wouldn't have much use for it...unless it had a pen digitizer).

Go with white. The bezel completely melts when reading and surfing the web and even when watching media you don't notice it at all. I love my white iPad.

I think I'm going white with a red smart cover.
I have a white/red iPhone combo and I think it looks great, going to go with the same on my iPad too. ^_^
Ooh. Was going black but that combo sounds great
