you didnt explain why? Black has a functional advange? What is the advantage of White
Because of the iPad's aspect ratio, you can expect black bars when playing movies on it. Therefore a black bezel sounds like it would be much less distracting.

Yep. I agree. I was really close to getting white when I bought the iPhone 4 but ultimately decided on the black.

@Dreams - Yeah, I would use those a lot more than the smart cover personally.
nope

If the person is a complete moron, yes.
Nice. I think that's what I'll wait for, unless my iPad 2 somehow dies on me before then.
The new iPad sure is sexy though.

do you have like, any apps at all? infinity blade alone is over a gig.
i upgraded to a 64GB ipad 2 purely because i was sick of moving stuff around on my 16GB 1 (plus it's good to have as much space as possible for photos).
Check out the Targus 360. I've been very pleased with ours.
It's not wood though

1080p videos, large apps (games, magazines, education apps tend to get around 1GB these days), high-quality music files. It can add up quickly.
looks good. I already ordered the smart cover, but if it doesn't suit my needs, I'll probably pick this up. ty!

Oh for sure. I thought I would be able to hold out until the 4th gen iPad until my sister said she would buy my iPad 2....I knew it was a matter of time that I would cave. Glad I did! This is looking to be one sweet upgrade, particularly for reading.

...hate me...
I sync all my music and photos.
Still, 3GB is an awfully low amount of storage. Get some apps man.

scaled apps won't look anything close to the quality of apps with the native retina display, and it will be many months before our favorite apps take advantage of this if the iPhone 4 retina app adoption rate was anything to go by

Ok I lied.
I'm using roughly 6.5GB.
-1.72 GB in audio
(95% is podcasts that Joe Rogan doesn't know how to compress properly)
-2.5 GB in apps (biggest is GTA3 I think)
-.5GB in books
iPad 1:
iPod 3rd gen:
iPhone 4:
I could fill up my i4 easily if I wanted to, but I try to leave as much extra space as possible. My iPad has basically become mainly for movies and videos exclusively for the kids. I barely use it anymore.

Is 16gb too small if using it for comics/tv shows/games?
Once I watch/read I delete so no hoarding of stuff on it.

Rogers confusion here:
One thing I can't figure out is if I'm using a "4G" smart phone and I have an LTE iPad, is if Rogers will allow me to use the iPad over LTE when I have it on plan as a data shared device or on "4G"
It will bother me if I have to drop the data sharing to get LTE working on the iPad

word.
It adds a little bulk (of course), but the case is great for reading & playing games on a table, or on your lap. We use it a lot, and I'll def be considering a new one when I get another iPad.
Definitely looks nice. There's no way I could sell my iPad 2 because the fam would kill me. lol
But I figure I'll just give my daughter the iPad 2 next year, and pick up the 4th gen with next year's tax return.

Spending two weeks of my life without an iPad is out of the question
That's what I did. I got $500 for my 64gb WiFi. Not the greatest, but better than what I'd get now considering that Apple is selling official refurbs for $549. I dealt with my iPad-withdrawl by buying a Vita at launch. It's been a great distraction for the past couple of weeks!
...but soon, yes... soon... daddy will be back in business.
That's probably good enough for you, tbh. All depends on how much content you want to put on there, but if you're content with deleting stuff that you have already 'experienced', then it shouldn't be an issue.
I wish I could do that, I sometimes feel that my iPhone 4 or iPad is like a demo device with all this shit on it that I never use. :lol
:lol, great minds and all that.
Damn at those pics. Looking forward to seeing it in person.
Best for the specific set of consumers you are referring to, perhaps. But if the demand was that considerable they wouldn't be buying and Apple would get the message, regardless. LC is right; it's much more of a niche desire than you may believe.

I have the 64 GB iPad 1 and have about 10GB free at the moment. I have more than 8GB of music on it alone, lots of apps and photos, and full seasons of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Not to mention a couple of movies, books, magazines, and more.

Question, I have an iphone 4 and getting a 32gb wifi only ipad. Can I tether from the iphone to the ipad? If I'm out, I'll always have my phones on me.
So I bit and ordered a black 32gb wifi iPad. My first iPad.
The only way I was able to convince myself to spend that kind of money was with the idea that I'm going to share it with my dad. Let him use it most of the time and just borrow it for when I am going somewhere. We work together so I figure it could be a general business device for our office.
My question then is...can you have multiple accounts on an iPad? Like can we have both our e-mails on there, but password protect them so we can't access each others? I think e-mail is probably the only thing we need to keep separate for privacy reasons. I don't care if he uses my apps or I see his apps on it and we'll just have a general netflix one that is tied to one of our netflix accounts for streaming videos. Will there be a quick solution for the e-mail problem of sharing an iPad between two people?

You could just use the browser for email.

I bought the iPad2 3G version because I was driving cross country from California to New York and picked Verizon cause they said they had the best coverage. Outside of a few tiny black out areas in the middle of crazy no where I would say that I almost always had service even when my phone went dead with no bars.
I was pretty impressed.

I live in the midwest and AT&T has been fine for me.
I'd just check who has reliable service and 4G in your area...

In the previous rumor thread I stated that I wouldn't expect this to have more than 512MB ram because that's how apple usually rolls.
If http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/7/2853448/sources-apple-new-ipad-makes-leap-1gb-of-ram is true, I am glad apple chose to do so and I am here to eat my crow.

PDANet is an iPhone app available after jailbraking via Cydia.
I use it regularly and love it. I use it to tether my TouchPad, laptop, iPad when on the road. works like a charm.
