Any stuttering? And which app are you using?
I encoded using Ripbot264, to a pretty standard High@4.1 mp4, maybe 2.8GB for a 2-hour film? Just watching it in the standard Videos app, does not appear to be any stuttering. It's incredibly gorgeous.

That's great to hear. Does that iPad you're playing with look like urine though?
How slowly do you have to speak for voice dictation to work?

Right on. The original one wasn't a marvel either but it was much better. And consistent. Green meant communicating apps and I was fine with that.
Exactly. I'm actually insanely curious to know what Apple's thinking was behind the edesign, and what the fuck the textured paper mache background represents. It's like a jumble of weird textures and shapes that don't fit together. That green one is a million times better, because it looks normal.

This. Are you speaking normal speed? This would be huge for my grandfather/grandmother.

One of my favourite ios games (Battleheart):

As expected, it's stunning on ~10inch of screen.

these are the reasons iOS continues to win. no developer wants to be the last one to update to the new shit that just sold 5 million (or however many now), so they update as fast as possible to stay relevant.
It's something you just don't see on other platforms, and it's why customer satisfaction is so high with iOS devices.
That was about the 2nd app I downloaded! It's still a looker, and a pleasure to play with all that screen real estate, but yes, high res tiles would make it a stunner.
Trying Football Manager '11 now - it likewise benefits from the bigger screen, even though it isn't much to look at.
The year or two is a joke because the Carcassonne developers are notorious for taking FOREVER to update the app. But I wouldn't be surprised if their estimate of a couple of weeks is accurate and we could have retina Carcassonne in a month.
Also, go immediately to the Carcassonne thread, introduce yourself, put your name on the list and get into some GAF games.

That and if you're an android dev it isn't exactly easy to create an app that's supposed to run on 100+ devices
I was playing in a few GAF games some time ago, before Shit Got In The Way last year. I'll jump back in I think

What are the chances I can walk into my local BFE walmart tonight around 11 and get one at midnight ?

it's not easy to create a good app on any platform. updates are surely easier on iOS devices, but the point here is that the caliber of competition spurs better apps and faster updates than any other platform sees, giving us consumers a level of quality, quantity and stability in apps that competitors just can't match.
That's why the Battleheart(mentioned above) devs announced they were bailing on Android. Too much work for not enough reward.

I hope the pinball games update soon. Preferably Zen.

I can tell you my girlfriend walked into her local not quite BFE Walmart, and there was only one person waiting for the midnight launch. I'm not sure if it's all Walmarts or just certain ones, but her's only had 16 gb wifi. She wanted a 32 gb so she walked out.
Edit: I should clarify that she got there about 10:45 pm local time.
Fixed.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the pinball games couldn't run at native resolution. I know the Ipad 1 struggled a bit with one or two of those pinball sims.
Same reason there still aren't apps updated for mango on WP7.

So in a single day it goes from China to Hong Kong, to Alaska, to Kentucky, then sits there for 6 fucking days. WTF?

China's time zone is 12 hours ahead. So people/things that fly from China to US spend like 36 hours in the "same" day.

There seemed to be more Apple Staff than iPad buyers at the Hong Kong Apple Store, at least 2-3 hours after opening. They would cheer loudly every 1-2 minutes as another 1 or 2 iPad buyers came to pick up their iPads. Also a lot of media on hand.
The Hong Kong Apple Store is a lottery-only system, so no lines were there. I still saw a bunch of shady people around the area. It's still not a perfect system because scalpers can still use their workers to bid on multiple lottery spots.
The iPad I played with already had Safari opened to a Mainland China Apple forum, possibly to look up resale prices.

I believe with the 4 and the 4s - Apple used more than one manufacturer for the screens. I have a 4s and so does my wife - hers is yellow, mine is blue-ish.
It's not as clear cut as saying the 4s is different than the 4. I guarantee you that if you had a bunch of iPhone 4's next to one another - you would see screen differences in those as well.
