I think realized what it was, screen brightness! Turned off auto and made it about 45-50% and voila much cooler
Turning down the screen will yield much, much better battery performance as well.

Nothing to complain about with my screen. No blemishes. No light leakage. The color temp actually looks cooler next to my iPad 1. It's just beautiful.
Hah, one of these days someone will answer your question.
Whose name did u use when buying your house?

Samsung r530 it's a couple of years old now but never had issues before
Oddly all my text in my browsers have changed as well :s
I had a similar problem as well, where iTunes said the photos were synced, but they weren't showing up on the iPad.
Solution: go to the folder on your computer where you are syncing photos from. There should be a folder iTunes created called "iPod photo cache". Delete it, sync again, and iTunes will rebuilt the photo sync data. Post sync, I had to then tun my iPad off and on again to see all the folders in the photo app.
(this issue doesn't happen from my Mac, only my PC)

sharing it = buying all apps ONCE.
Yeah, just checked and that worked for a video I tried. It always did work well with the iPhone videos and a recent update improved compatibility with other cameras (according to some reports anyway.
:? that explains a lot. I'll definitely have to go down to a lower brightness than I'd prefer.I think realized what it was, screen brightness! Turned off auto and made it about 45-50% and voila much cooler
I've been trying to find the best secondary display setup this morning. I went through Air Display, iDisplay, DisplayPad and Splashtop Xdisplay.

If you plan on using iCloud features I would say keep a separate account, otherwise you'll get synced with the same contacts and notes and bookmarks and all that jazz, as well as receiving each others iMessages

Is there a good music app that streams music from my home server? For some reason iTunes doesn't want to be installed on a Windows Server.
What would you say the best display program is. Also I'm still trying to see if my iPad 3 speakers aren't as good as my iPad 2s it seems like mine doesn't play as loud and can someone who has an iPad to confirm this for me thanks
Cate a separate apple ID for each of you for the 5GB storage and syncing contacts etc, but you can also have a shared appleID for purchases. The iCloud ones and iTunes ones aren't connected.
No reason not to use the same appleID unless you both buy very different apps, in that case you MIT want to turn off auto sync of apps.

I like StreamToMe.
and you'll be able to access your music with it from anywhere in the world as long as you have a 3G/wifi connection.
Wrong.
You can set up separate accounts for iCloud/Messages/etc. and then share a single iTunes account so that you can share apps/music/videos.
My girl and I have done it that way for a year now
Edit: I remember a great article on Lifehacker or Gizmodo about this, but I couldn't find it. Try this Apple FAQ as a start. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

I used mine in bed for two hours last night. No noticeable change in heat. I recommend turning off auto- brightness and Bluetooth if you don't need it.
Who gets the apps/music/movies in the divorce?

Expensive for something I can't test.
e: And it doesn't even support created playlists?

Is there a good reason to mirror the iPad via Appletv to my HDTV? I tried it last night and it looks like absolute shit. Maybe I'm just missing an important setting?

So me and the wife both have the 4s with separate Apple id's. Last night we got an iPad and I was wondering how to photo stream both of our phones to the iPad and my friend said we should be using the same Id. I have always purchased my own apps and so has she. Have I been doing it wrong this entire time?
How does it handle iCloud backups and contacts and stuff if we shared the same one??

I'd say iDisplay but I don't think my computer and router are good enough to handle the highest settings. Slashtop Xdisplay is light on features but offered that 2560x1440 resolution that I used for the screenshot. DisplayPad and Air Display are decently designed apps (even prettier than iDisplay) but are still stuck on 1024x768. None of the apps are really ready for the iPad 3, you should probably wait for the updates to trickle in. If you want to try it out now, get iDisplay.
I'm trying it now and
Edit: Screens works. It's just obvious more laggy than the dedicated display apps. Now to try Splashtop
I think there was an app that could actually link to google music at one time, gmusic or something, but I don't know how well it worked.
Yeah, I've found the same thing. I was thinking my iPhone apps would look like hell at 2x now, but honestly the same apps I used at 2x look better on the new iPad than they do on my iPad 1. I watched some NetFlix on it last night in bed and was really really impressed with the picture and color over the same shows on my iPad1 too.
I can only think of one. My friend and his wife share the account. She is a freak and downloads ANYTHING that is free. He had to turn off the auto-download feature because each time he'd turn on his iPad he'd have 25 new apps he didn't want.
Mirroring not so much - maybe you have a separate urge to play real racing on a giant screen? AirPlay more so, but for me most of the videos I'd watch are duplicated on my tv anyway (Netflix on Xbox etc)

I was thinking about maybe getting SOME magazine and news subscriptions but a lot of these subscription plans seem ridiculous.
I was thinking about getting a year subscription to EDGE but I'm not sure.
What subscriptions have people here gotten? Newspapers, Magazines, Comics?
Are there any free ones that are good?

I've enjoyed the content in national geographic and some issues of popular science. I hope nat geo can publish to retina quality soon as that would look stunning.

I have Verizon LTE on mine and so far I've run tests in Midtown (Lexington Ave) and Sunnyside, Queens. Here's my initial results:
Things I've noticed:
- Often, LTE is faster then my wifi connection
- I've gotten some odd results where download is decent but upload is blazing
- The 11.88 down/16.58 up test? That was on the 7 train
- I have yet to have a full 5 bars on LTE. Most I've gotten yet was 4
I've heard that AT&T's LTE network, at least in NYC, is faster than Verizon's. However, I think that's just because no one is really using it, which may be changing right now thanks to the new iPad. I don't trust AT&T to keep pace with the iPad and eventual LTE iPhone. And yes, Verizon LTE is available in many more cities.
Rest of the world (23 march) still no preorder....
what the hell.....
6 days, how on earth will Apple pull this one off?
I'm quite sure there won't be any pre-orders. Get in line if you want it on Friday. My guess is that when it's available to order in the country specific stores on their website on Friday, it's an instant 2-3 weeks delivery time.
I didnt use it much on the 2, but there is still a delay. Not three seconds, and not bothersome to me, but still a delay.

Is there a reason why iTunes doesn't detect new content that was copied to my music folder?

Definitely. I've been using multigestures pretty exclusively since yesterday. The four-finger home gesture is also blazing fast. Performance -wise there have been no hiccups with this beast.
iPhoto is the shit, by the way. It's simple, elegant, and gets the job done. And it's crazy cheap.
I only had the Fire and Touchpad to compare with, but the speakers on those always bothered me - always seemed I could sense more the sound on the 'side' the speakers were physically on and it was always distracting.
I don't know how the iPad does it, but the sound quality is considerably better. It sounds more 'stereo' than the others for whatever reason. Like it's a much fuller sound.

Anyone think battery cycling is worth doing? That is, running the battery down to 0 before charging it?
Also, I honestly couldn't be happier with this thing. The speed, the switch from black to white and the screen. Just tested it and I don't even have any backlight bleeding. Woo!
My favorite part of yesterday was when the FedEx guy finally showed up with it around 5pm, shoves the signature scanner into my hand and just says "i hate these fuckin' iPads" to which I respond "ah sorry, I guess we're keeping you busy today, huh?" and he says "Busy?!? That's an understatement."
Good times!

I imagine Marvel/whomever never bothered to optimize for a 1024x768 display since that would have quality issues and rule out use on Android platforms where the resolution is much more fluid. I can't speak to whether any of those comics are quite full iPad 3 resolution but even being > 1024x768 and upscaled is probably a clear improvement over what you could see on the old device.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I remember back when the iPhone 4 came out all, the apps that weren't retina updated look like shit, but on this new iPad they all look pretty damn good. They definitely did something new here. Of course, they still don't compare at all with actual retina updated apps.
From my library, apps that have been updated for the retina display. These are not including Apple apps, which were all updated before release:
Still awaiting an update:
Not too shabby, after only one day since release. Also, I have 11.8 GB free out of 13.3 GB total with 29 apps and 75 photos. The rest of my media is streamed. Don't be scared of getting the base model.
Total: 12
