I feel like the max brightness is even brighter now. It hurts my eyes to look at it for too long.
Too many pixels!

Well there's a yellow tint on one corner and none on the bottom corners this very apparent on white background like this forum
So I think it's leakage

Yep, and it's evident in pictures people post. I'm seeing it on mine too. It reminds me of the iMac situation.

Can you post some of your own images highlighting the problem?

You're 'bored'? Did you expect it to give you a blowjob? Seriously, it seems you had strange expectations. It does everything the iPad2 does and more, all while having a signigicantly better display. Since the iPad2 was already the best tablet on the market, this just made it that much better, while retaining same battery life. For someone who's objective and knows what else is out there, they would realize it's in a league of it's own, and has nothing to do with being an 'overzealous Apple fan'. When you have every reviewer splashing such high praise, maybe the problem is with you and whatever absurd expectations you had. Did you consider that?

I want to see what you are talking about. Maybe mine has the problem too. Please post pictures.
Was not even asked about it once.
Thank goodness for the JB then.
Wouldn't call it hot, but it gets warm, never noticed any heat with my iPad2. Watched a couple of vids, browsed, no games, and it was warm enough to get my hand to perspire.
I've honestly never used max brightness on iPad 1 and 2 in the couple years I've owned them.
In fact, 50% is probably the max I've ever gone up to when in a bright room.
Nope:you do for functioning spoilers.
(also, page numbers are still easier to tap)

Typing replies in the comment box on the full GAF website is so much nicer now as it doesn't zoom in and enforce scrolling around the text.

I've been watching CNN's coverage of the ipad launch. They had some girl on explaining to the news anchor the splendors of a retina display and they also have some nerdy guy on saying hes extremly disappointed because "they didnt change it enough"

ComicGlass update!
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes. THIS is what the iPad is for. I'm flicking through full pages of comics without feeling the need to zoom in! And if I move my eyes closer it just looks better!
Wonderful.

UPS just dropped it off yay.
Now comes the hard part of leaving it for a week while I go on Spring Break. Simultaneously awesome and sad.

Hmm. Tapping spoilers is still easier than the other method but the posting is easier in the full site, yes.
What I used to do the on the full site on the rare times I didn't use the mobile site...
Select the spoiler, have the iPad read it to me.

Hi all.
I am typing this on my new iPad - my first. Have to say I am enjoying it so far. I do feel it may take a little of tweaking and installing to get it to the way I want - my only major concern is getting it into a case ASAP although that should happen soon.
I live in Southend, England and when I went to the TNT depot in Basildon to pick it up the guy said they alone had 700 to deliver alone - I am not too sure how much they cover in terms of area but I thought that sounded like a lot.
One question for you video encoders out there - I have used Visual Hub to convert videos for my iphone - does anyone have any recommendations over what is the best current converter for iPad? Cheers!

I might try tomorrow but it's very difficult to capture the difference in a photo. It's just a massive improvement, more so than any other aspect of this Retina update. The combination of line drawing and hand-drawn text highlights the benefits of high PPI more than anything else.
Are there any free comics out ther I could try this with? And are they usually high enough resolution to benefit?

Most people are used to a very cool color temp as evident by the majority of the people runjing their sets in standard or dynamic mode. I was very happy to see the calibration report linked earlier.

I like Handbrake, easy to use and good results.
Good stuff, didn't realise that was added, I'll probably switch to it now

Journey isn't even half the res of this screen, so it wouldn't really help. But certainly, if we could get that kind of quality content on iOS I'd be more enthused about the device for gaming purposes.

Yeah, mine's still dicking around on the other side of the country.
I was even sitting here working when I saw the UPS guy pull up - unfortunately for someone else in the building (but not an iPad judging by the box).

Handbrake is indeed particularly good.

What an amazing product. My first Tablet and Apple product. Been playing around with it for the past 3 hours and it's just amazing. Screen has blown me away, something that didn't happen when I first played a game in HD.
So any really good/key apps i should get? I'm going to get garageband in a bit and get started with it tommorow.
Giddy giddy.

Ok so I got my 16gb Ipad, brought it to the Apple store (heard from a friend that worked there that they got 1700 for launch) and exchanged it for the 32gb I wanted. Now, as an Ipad newbie, what are some apps I need to get?

Played modern combat 3 for about 50 minutes, it used 10% of the battery and the back is only lightly warm.
I think that is really really good! so used to the battery being half flat after that time on a touch.

Cool, i'll check it out now.
Also is there a specific pair of headphones I have to buy? Will any bluetooth headphones work?
Using a screen protector at all is silly. Get a smart cover or similar case that protects the screen in transit but leaves it naked so you can fully enjoy the screen.

Get a microfiber cloth.
With more GPU juice in these mobile devices than ever before, I keep imagining how much further gaming on them could progress if there were some proper, widely-adopted hardware controls. Something like an official Apple gaming controller/handle, with buttons and analog joysticks.
