Posting iPad wallpapers gonna be funny now that they are bigger than PC screens.

Is Retina better than OLED? It looks quite different from OLED screens from what I have seen on the iPhone 4S of a classmate of mine.

Isn't Retina just a marketing term for a high resolution display while OLED is a different technology?

I'd like to see a comparable sized OLED beside a "Retina" display iPad display.

Coupled with secondapps.com/neogaf it is the best Neogaf browsing experience ever!

It is an absolutely wonderful media consumption device.

ipad on coffee table, instant access to internet whenever a curious thought pops up. perfect

 

[Sh0k]

Wonder how the new iPad will handle the current games and Apps at the normal resolution. Will they be treated like iPhone Apps on the current iPad with a 2x button to fill the screen ?

I also wonder how soon are we going to see upgrades from the current games to the higher resolution and if they are going to charge more money for the RETINA version.

 

[Anticitizen One]

I'm off to find an iPad 2 for a bargain price

i'll sell you my 64 gb 3G white iPad for $700. It works perfectly and is in near mint condition (a few minor scratches on the side from being in my backpack).

More info on Netflix-Apple TV increased integration...

Plus, with the new third generation Apple TV, you’ll also be able to watch thousands of hours of great movies and television streaming on Netflix in 1080p high definition and with room-filling Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.

This was so much smoother when they opened online orders up at midnight.

Nice!!!

This is the best way to go. The website is a POS.

What's the performance difference between the A4 and a single core A5? Trying to gauge what this means for XBMC.

No, they'll just look bad. Like old iPhone apps after retina.

 

[bill0527]

you don't realize you need it until you use it

Yep. And that's quite an understatement.

I've said in many apple threads that I had no desire for an iPad and had no plans to buy one, but I happened to win one about 18 months ago and when I'm here in my house, the thing is barely ever out of my hands. Now I can't live without it and its easily my most used electronics device.

I actually go days now without even going to my desktop computer unless I'm wanting to play a particular PC game.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Not for me, at least on OTA.

Working here on both my iPhone 4S and janky old iPad 1.

I could see that. But SO many other things I have do that already. From Vita to iPhone to PC to consoles. I guess I'm not the right demographic for this sort of device lol.

Updating iPhone/iPad now!

not there for me yet

WHY IS NOTHING WORKING! AHHHHHH

 

[Jasoco]

Any download links? not stream

It'll be on iTunes later today. Subscribe to Apple Keynotes in iTunes and leave it open. It'll download when it's available.

 

[flyover]

I haven't used the iPad verion of GarageBand. Does it have the full complement of software instruments, or just some keyboards and guitars, or something in between? I love that it's finally coming with notation/piano roll.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Still nothing works. :/

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Did they raise the applecare price and is it worth it?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Whoa, I never knew Tim Cook has such a strong southern accent. Where's he from?

 

[muu]

what # you guys calling for direct sales? apple care #?

 

[ZedIndyLil]

The store iz broke.

 

[Talon]

Whoa, I never knew Tim Cook has such a strong southern accent. Where's he from?

Alabama.

Who knew the first open Fortune 500 CEO would be from the Bible belt?

 

[NYR]

for a minute

That makes me feel better. I went for lunch...

 

[CrunchinJelly]

 

[flyover]

Store site says 1-800-MY-APPLE.

 

[Magnus]

Got into a queue on the phone line, so at least that's a surer thing!

 

[Gamecocks625]

suuuuuuucks man this process is frustrating. I had the thing in my cart but can't complete.

[cyberheater]

Man that haptic display is insane.

LOL.

 

[darkwing]

shesh longest time the store is down after a conference

 

[Baller. PhD]

The internal store is crashed too, so you guys won't have any luck on the phones either. I've have a buddy who's a phone sales guy for Apple - he says the entire system has collapsed. lol

 

[Einbroch]

Nice!!!

Called. They said they couldn't order it because the store is down. They said to check back later.

This. Don't bother calling.

 

[AndTAR]

That's from the 4s announcement.

It is in fact from the new event, just screengrabbed it. Link. There was also an empty "reserved" seat at the 4S event, I guess the intention could have been the same, given they likely knew Jobs was dying at that point.

 

[cackhyena]

New iOS. I missed what improvements there are? Should I be rushing to DL or no?

 

[robertsan21]

Quick question.

I just love this new iPad, never owned one before but I guess its time to pick one up.

Now to my question.

s there a way to connect a card reader to an iPad so I can transfer all photos straight into the iPad from my Canon Camera memory SDHC card?

I would love to be able to not use a laptop to be able to empty my memory cards when I am out travelling.

 

[muu]

Store site says 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Yeah sorry, missed the bold numbers under the sticky note... now if only I can get through the robocaller.

 

[mrklaw]

so no siri on ipad? Wonder why, especially when they pointed out voice support for the keyboard.
