Can iPad-GAF sum up this screen in one word?

Flawless.

 

[Bboy AJ]

First time I did the Apple.com preorder thing and boy am I thankful right now. No nonsense. Just hanging out and it'll be there when I get home.

 

[f@luS]

Any retina app for free? Need to test more this (yellowish) screen

 

[kitchenmotors]

In line at the Deerpark, IL Apple store. 10 people in front of me.

The screen in one word?

(the) Best. As in, the best screen on any mobile device. Ever. Holy fuck it is so sharp and crisp!

Link to the App store for Retina apps. Well done Apple.

 

[Gowans]

went to the BBC news page as the first thing to do on the browser, even better than I could have thought.

Man, I really, really didn't like Apple. Ever. And Apple Users. Urgh. People pretending that you need a Mac to design anything properly, normal people with iPhones who don't even know what to do with it.
But damn, those Apps. Preordered a new iPad 32GB and already added Apps (mainly Music Apps and some Games) that add up to nearly 200€ in iTunes... I feel dirty. 4.April can't come soon enough though...

Jesus Christ that's fuckin' criminal.

I didn't really argue with people about that. Everyone should be happy if they want to :]

Has anyone ever done this:

Step 1: Buy iPad w/ 3G or now with LTE.

Step 2: Activate your month-to-month service for $25ish per month.

Step 3: Replace the micro-sim in your jailbroken iphone 4/4S with the one from your ipad and do the steps to change the sim number so that it's usable.

Step 4: Cancel your cell phone service. Use Skype for calls, textnow for texts, etc.

Now for $25, you have internet service movable between your phone and your ipad.

 

[123rl]

So now we've used it anyone care to chip in on the (lol) extra bulk? Because to me the iPad fits and curves into my hand absolutely perfectly. And it feels like it weighs exactly the same

Can't notice it.

The Helvetica (Neue) Font Family alone makes the price of a Mac pay for itself.

But sure, let's randomly hate on people without knowing fuck-all about anything.

 

[EarsOfASnake]

What level of charge does it arrive at? Do I get to play a little or is it straight to the power outlet?

95%. Apple think of everything

 

[mescalineeyes]

around 40%

 

[FreeMufasa]

My god this has been the longest day ever. I've done so much but it's only just turned 10am. No text to say iPad is at home yet.

O...K... Let's not do that ever again! Hey, I'm on your side now, it's all good!!!

 

[Betta Lines]

Someone played with yours.

 

[MercuryLS]

Woke up early today, Futureshop still has some in stock. Considering buying another one to flip on craigslist...hmm.

 

[SolidPain]

I just got mine. The screen is something out of this world. Simply amazing.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Mine came an hour ago with ukmail

Not notice any yellow tint to the whites, first iPad for me

Are we all expecting shortages? Seems way more shops have them compared to ipad 2 launch, or are we thinking thats just Apple building up initial stocks for launch and it'll go dry quickly?

Dammit... you must live nearer the depot than me...

 

[Robobandit]

Waiting outside of my local Verizon store... no one here yet.. not even employees.. makes me wonder if.they
Got the memo.

 

[cvxfreak]

Just got my 32GB iPad 4G from Softbank... setting it up right now.

My 11" MacBook Air's screen looks so ancient in comparison!

 

[Trojita]

I hate you GAF. I have to work a 12 hour work shift Friday-Sunday. I'm here right now

Spoiler

I love you

Still waiting for UK Mail too, my retinas are ready, the postman is not

 

[peetfeet]

Another waiting for UKMail to turn up .... :'(

 

[MercuryLS]

Just canceled my pending order with Apple and ordered the 64gb + 4G from futureshop. I don't want to have to micromanage the shit out of this thing, going to have it for a few years so it's worth going all out. Excited

(Won't get it till middle of next week )

 

[Darko]

I'm like 43rd in line. I was about the 100th in line when I got to the store at this time for the iPhone 4S...

Spoiler

The new iPad is a flop

Only 3 people at my store... This is embarrasing.

 

[dorn.]

Just went to a local reseller and played around with one. The display sure looks nice but it didn't wow me as much as I expected after reading the reviews. It definitely looks better, especially photos and iBooks looked great, but it didn't make the Ipad 2 look like shit in comparison, like the iPhone 4 did to the 3GS. Maybe it's because of the store setting and it's more noticeable in real usage but I couldn't help but feel al little underwhelmed. They actually still had some in stock too, though only white 16GB 4G.

 

[Betta Lines]

Aren't the smaller lines because Apple didn't do online preorders for those other products?

 

[LCfiner]

yeah, possibly.


So mine is coming in today hopefully after 12 PM, as I get home around then. I'll be hanging over my balcony, looking for the UPS truck to arrive.

 

[Blackhead]

^^^
wouldn't you rather get it at 8 am

There were preorders for the iPhone 4S...

 

[gkryhewy]

I would not be surprised if this has more of a slow burn than the iPad 2. Don't think the annual upgrade cycle plays as well with non-subsidized devices. Still deciding whether to upgrade from my iPad 1, which is much more stable since the 5.1 update.

 

[LCfiner]

^^^

I'm already at work. been here for a while actually

If I see a "delivery attempted" notice on the tracking between now and noon, I'll be a sad panda

 

[Robobandit]

employees just showed up at Verizon..

Weather outside is nice.. back to being the only person crazy enough to
be here this early.

 

[MasLegio]

who is doing the delivery in Germany?

UPS, TNT or DHL?

I hope UPS will do the delivery in Sweden.

Should not the preorder be available as well for rest of EU if we are to recieve iPads for 23 of march?
