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.

There's a SD card adaptor.

 

[commish]

Why would apple start preorders at 3 pm instead of 6 am?

 

[blackflag]

lol i can't even get in queue on the phone

 

[Zeth]

Got through on phone. They can't do anything. The whole system is fucked.

yes, there is a camera connector kit which has an SD card slot.

for those of us looking to unload our iPad 2s, the resell value is crashing at a terrifying rate.

Stake your life on it.

3G download limit upped to 50mb

Netflix streaming 1080P and billable to itunes acct

whoa. That download limit increase is big news for developers-especially because most times they don't release universal versions of an app because they try to get it under 20MB

FFFFFUUUUUUUU

 

[Magnus]

Wow.


I just got through on the phone.

The lady was very nice, but informed me that they're having technical problems processing orders right now and their systems are effectively down. She told me to call back later.

Naturally. If the new one's $500, I wouldn't even consider buying a 2 for anything more than $300 (assuming the same specs with regards to wifi/3g and capacity).

 

[havokt]

Yep a phone rep just told me it would take them an hour or so before pre-orders.

 

[f@luS]

No.

sure? no gps on wifi?

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

My iPhone has already downloaded and updated to 5.1 Waiting on a restart now. iPad is taking a bit longer.

 

[LCfiner]

genius support for itunes match is awesome. (finally, lol)

and the icloud photostream single photo deletion is really important.

can't wait to get this loaded up

This is why they should have done what they did last year. Had the order date be Friday with release next Friday.

 

[BdoUK]

Still no word on if the new Apple TV will support 24 bit audio. Not even Apple's own tech specs mention it which makes me believe the answer is probably "NO".

 

[Chiggs]

Talking to someone now. I wonder if I can be obnoxious enough to get a callback from a sales rep.

 

[LyleLanley]

Tried calling Apple but the damn robot on the other end hung up on me.

 

[robertsan21]

There's a SD card adaptor.

Wow thanks for all the replies guys.

I am impressed by this news!

iPad is fucking awesome indeed.

My money's on them just saying "leave it shut down until requests thin out a bit, then bring it back up" rather than fixing anything.

 

[bloodydrake]

so does new AppleTV have any improvement in playback format support? DTS?,Flac? MKV ect?
Or is it just basically 1080p update?

 

[Betta Lines]

WHERE IS MY HAPTIC SHIT APPLE?

lol

*furiously refreshes Store*

My local Craigslist has six iPad 2 listings today. Before today? Six.

In a week.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I'm still getting caught up on the conference news. Have they said whether the older models will still be sold, at a discounted price? Or is Apple still just keeping one version of the iPAD in production at a time?

I'm looking for a tablet this year, but $500 is above my price range. So I'm hoping the older models will be available for less.

 

[Wiktor]

Still not seeing anything that would make it really useful for me, but damn, what a nice upgrade. Especially the screen. The only dissapointing thing is lack of proper Siri, but everythng else seems like a great upgrade.

Store is back up!

 

[Marty Chinn]

Jailbreak and put XBMC on there. The AppleTV just became an awesome HTPC for the low price of $99.

for those of you looking to offload your ipad 2s, you should have done that last week..

 

[Einbroch]

Store is back up!

Phone or internet?

 

[Windu]

The screen is going to look gorgeous, but still too expensive for my taste. And I hate the iOS UI. (and I'm typing this on a iPhone, go figure)

 

[DopeyFish]

Tried to call... Epic fail

(((

I want to replace my original iPad *cry*

I've seen $50 price reductions on all models of iPad 2 at both Sam's Club and Best Buy in the last week. Not sure if it'll go any lower.

 

[Magnus]

Store is back up!

Lies! (in canada)

 

[railGUN]

Finally got through on the phone, and the guy says "thanks for calling, but unfortunately we can't take your order right now, as the store is down, please try again later"...

god. dammit.

 

[Xamdou]

Looks like Apple's saving Siri 2.0 for the Iphone 5, since it will be the only thing that will surprise people about the next iphone.

 

[GhaleonEB]

iPad 2 starts at $399. 3G model at $529.

Hmm. Thanks.

 

[smr00]

iPad 2 $399.

really? it is? i have been trying to sell my ipad 2 for $350 for 2 goddamn weeks on craigslist.

not 2 months old, i have 0 use for it and im pretty much out $500 unless someone craigslist actually meets me unlike the last 3 people, everyone else is trying to lowball me to like $200.

 

[Battlezone]

I got all the way through the order process on the iPhone app, then the store went down as it was confirming my login details. FUCK.

I assume nobody else has any luck?

 

[Utako]

I won't be getting the iPad 3 for myself, but I will be buying it as a gift.

I'll give you 201 for it.

Here's a better comparison from theverge:

 

[mrklaw]

becomes good HTPC for $99. Its still quite a bit more clunky than full fat XMBC (or plex)
