So I went to work today, checked my Outlook inbox and did the ritual cleaning, deleted all the spam etc. Under those E-Mails was an "urgent" mail from a piss small local retailer. I deleted it without even reading it, but when I selected the mail, I saw that it had something to do with the new iPad. So I went back to the deleted mails and read it.

"New iPad available today!"

Called them, did a reservation, gonna pick it up in an hour or two.


Kinda funny how that goes.

Yeah, with the ipad 3 launch, only sumsung is making screens so they should all have the same color temp. I haven't heard of any rumors of additional manufacturers down the line but if they do show up, you may or may not have varying color temps to work with.

You're adhering to an age old tradition of screens being too blue. What you think is a nice display is actually far too cool.

Admittedly, though, cooler screens appear brighter.

The last iPad 2 I had seemed to have a slightly cooler screen, and I must admit I preferred it to the previous warmer ones I went through... but I'm not too concerned.

For the photos I don't exceed think ..

Not sure if it's worth upgrading to from2... and I haven't really tested very much

the weight could be an issue

This screen is awesome and I'm really pleased to see Early Edition 2 already updated for retina. I love it. Here's some non-compressed screengrabs of it running:

And one of Real Racing 2 in retina glory:

Hey,

how do you upload videos somewhere for easy viewing? Um, new ipad is slower at pdfs. I just did a side by side. Swiped and the new ipad takes a couple of seconds to get to the new page.

that is not good, not good at all. A couple of seconds is an eternity when you use pdfs for studying and reference browsing.
Hopefully GoodReader will release an update that makes it much better than apples poor excuse for pdf reader.

So as expected, using this thing while charging it is nearly out of the question. I'm reading a book in iBook while it's plugged in, and it's been stuck at 29% for quite some time now.

DAT BATTERY.

Worth it though :)

Not good :(

This benchmark shows iPad 3 has relatively same performance as iPad 2. Seems like it's a big upgrade from iPad 1, but if I were an iPad 2 owner, I wouldn't bother upgrading

Never mentioned it, but the Walmart I went to yesterday only got very specific models...and didn't have the one I wanted.

They had about 20 total, with 16GB WiFi models representing the lot of them. Then from 32GB to 64GB they only had LTE models in black...but only on AT&T.

I was potentially willing to compromise with the black iPad...but to get an AT&T LTE model was just not going to happen.

Waiting for my originally ordered 32GB White to show up now. FedEx tracking still claims its an hour away at a sorting facility since yesterday at 3PM. I'm going to hope that's just the site not updating.

I have no idea why anyone would trust a video that is using some 3rd party app that almost certainly hasn't been updated to support the iPad 3 as their test.

Use iBooks, and if this happens there then we've got a problem.

Posted a few pages back, but this is exactly what happened at my Walmart last night. Multiple people left empty handed.

Shame...I wasn't particularly bummed because I knew I had one on the way still anyways...but I kind of definitely want the LTE Verizon model now.

Think I'm going to have to play the "watch the restocking" with Apple/Verizon stores and jump on one within the 14 day return window or something.

...or just convince myself again that I don't need LTE and can just wait for the iPhone 5's LTE tethering plans.
