Here's my impression of how Paradoxal_Utopia would handle your question -
What the fuck is your problem? Why the hell would Apple put Siri on an iPad when it doesn't benefit in usage over the device's large form factor? Why not trust that Apple's developers have attempted it and found it fucking lacking on the device? Why even ask such a stupid question?
I'm so tired of all these trolls. Can we please stop quoting them so I don't see their posts? Thanks.
What is backlight bleed. Now I'm worried and I don't even know what it is
Don't research it. Ignorance is bliss.

Apple will readily replace your iPad if you have backbleed
They didn't put Siri on iPhone 4, but it works fine on it. (jailbroken)

That is a different task to do, but if it is something I don't know about is it something I won't notice? Would my iPhone4 have this problem? Why must you people do this to me!!

I haven't done any research on them, but what are the best cases? This will be my first iPad.
Ha, I didn't even look at the store units on display. Good thing I took most of today off. I forgot my iPad backup is 10gb. This is going to take a while.
Yeah, it's not the end of the world. It was bad with iPad 2, I'm hoping it's not as bad with iPad 3.
Apple will replace your unit no questions asked if it has backlight bleed. This is what it looks like:
(This is a particularly bad example, iPad 2 image btw)

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
have to decide if I buy one now with my money, or wait a couple of months and get my wife to get me one for my birthday...

I'm still debating whether I should try and hunt down a Verizon LTE one and return my 32 gig wifi one. Decisions, decisions....

do you only see it when the screen is black?

when the screen is black and when you are in a dark room, if u see it in a lit room and you see it clearly you need to replace it immediately

Indeed, I've done it several times. But I'm not near any Apple stores anymore so I was hoping to avoid doing it this time, hence buying two.

Also I can confirm that the Nuu BaseCase for iPad 2 does not fit the new iPad. So if you have any rigid rear shells of a similar design for iPad 2, they will probably not fit either. The ones made with slightly more flexible plastic might work though. The BaseCase just cracked beyond repair when I tried it.

Just arrived at work. First impressions:
As most say, DAT SCREEN! Someone bought their iPad 2 in as they knew I was getting mine and they wanted to compare, side by side the difference is huge.
Cameras is so much better, taking photos with an iPad is ridiculous but at least the pictures are better now.
Can't wait to get home and put my apps/etc on it properly!

Anyone in the UK had theirs delivered yet? Still no word for me.
Good grief. The whole 16GB versus 32GB storage thing is WAY overblown. I've rolled with 13.9GB on my freaking Xbox 360 since 2006 and sure, I'd love more space, but I manage. Likewise with my 16GB iPad 2 (and I have a crapton of apps.) Save that extra $100 and put it towards the next iPad iteration, apps, or a man purse. There's no shame or 'silliness' in that. For Pete's sake, some of you people preach against 16GB like it's a carcinogen.

I still get kicked out of the store back to the home screen after downloading an app, didn't other people say that no longer happens?

My delivery status was updated to "Out For Delivery" just three minutes after its arrival scan. That means I should have it sometime this morning. Did a back-up of my first gen iPad last night in anticipation. Restoring shouldn't take too long. Looking forward to playing with the new toy.

how long does fedex take to update their status from out of delivery to delivered

Yea, Space Management for life. I roll with the tiny Xbox HD from 06 as well.

Guess you didn't get the memo about apps being 50% larger to support the retina display.

Oh no, 30 to 45mb!
Generally I get my stuff at work 30-60 mins before FedEx updates and says delivered.
alarmist gaf.
Yay, so I finally got to play with one today at work.
Seems a hair faster at pulling web pages than either the ipad2 or transformer (thebigpicture). UI navigation was virtually identical, screen difference was....not as noticeable as I imagined it to be.
Here's the thing.
Apple claims retina for this device, at about a foot or so away, right? At that distance, its nearly identical to the iPad 2 (at least to my aging eyes).
Bringing it to about six inches from my face, I could barely see a difference with website pictures (high res ones), but text was noticeably sharper. Considering graphic novels and comics are the main source of reading for me on the tablet, I'm thinking I could save $200 and go with an iPad 2 instead.
Decisions decisions.

You're only putting one app on your iPad?

This has been done to death already. With 16gb, even with some of the larger apps, you are still getting three-four pages of apps. Just stop.

did you consider the fact that images have to be retinafied as well?

I agree with this..BUT...if you have 3-4 pages of apps + pdfs, ebooks, comics, etc, it fills up

Mine's out for delivery too in Oklahoma City. :3 I'd be more pumped, but Fedex usually doesn't arrive until like after noon.
