Use the same iTunes account, have seperate iCloud accounts. As confusing as it sounds, those are 2 totally seperate things.
My wife and I share one iTunes account so we have access to the same apps, and iTunes Match content. We have seperate iCloud accounts so that we have seperate contacts, photos, reminders, etc.
I have no idea what res they are, but they look perfect zoomed out. I'm impressed.

White is right. If you aren't satisfied with the screen color I would say exchange it anyway. If you want the other color as well than that too. Just be aware that you might notice the same screen on the new one you get potentially.

Why the fuck is my iPad going in circles? Did it forget something in KY and go back for it?

I have 35 apps, a couple of them games.
Still have 9.1 of my 16GB available.
Reports of the base models demise have been greatly exaggurated.

Man I wish I could share a photostream with my wife without sharing the iCloud backup and stuff.
Doubt most of those 35 apps are retina.
35 apps is not much at all.
What about movies, music, documents, books etc?
edit: Whats the best soft back cover that can be used in combo with the smart cover?
well they kind of look how they did before. TBH i'm unsure about them updating to retina. Firstly, most users computers aren't running in such a high resolution that they need retina to display it 1:1 - 1024x768 is enough to show most laptop screens in portrait mode with only side-side scrollign needed.
Second, wont' retina massively increase the amount of data transmitted across the network, or will the VNC compression magic help there?

How come TIME Magazine doesn't go to newsstand?

48 apps (I'd say 12 of them are retina at this point), maybe almost 300 photos for me. Gonna drop some local media on there (music/podcasts) and will still probably have like 18GB free. Very happy I opted for 32gb this go-round. I'm actually surprised at the lack of space books take up (have about 10 of them).
Time Magazine developers are lazy, or they don't want it there for some reason, meaning they're idiots. So lazy or idiots, take your pick.
Is there any way to access your entire iphoto library (or folders of photos on a network) other than syncing them all? I have way too many to sync but I'd like to access them in a nicely presented way.
Iphoto has a sharing option, but it seems to only let other iphoto computers on the network view photos. itunes has home sharing but just for music/videos
seems an obvious gap that needs filling, most of the ingredients are already there - maybe an update to iphoto on ipad later?

I would assume a retina update for LogMeIn could simply update the app's art assets, while going 1080p for the streaming since most PC's don't run above that resolution anyway. Would a bump from 768p to 1080p streaming incur a major bandwidth increase?

Yeah 16gb is too little. The really awesome/neat things about the ipad is having all these apps/games/vids/musics in the palm of your hand. 32gb should be a minimum..
I wish they'd let the iPad to do dictation. Currently on the can with the 2.
Screen isn't as sharp but still looks fine.

A fair point.
And I have ~30 books, Enco.
If you plan on putting a significant amount of music/movies/etc. you probably were planning getting 32+ anyway.
Here's an interesting article my dad sent me about the Bluetooth 4.0 in the new iPads.

It all depends on what and how, my old 8gb touch years ago used to never be filled up but a while later I was deleting things left and right. Granted I used my touch mostly for games and not other apps like news or typing, games are going to be some of the bigger apps out there.
Also like iphone retina, app's might change their output res at first but once newer games a few months from now start to use up that 1gb of ram on an ipad for better textures and other memory things, files will increase.
its baffling you cannot set up two iDevices to communicate with each other over bluetooth ie transfer photos from iphone to ipad, in some ways Apple is years behind the rest.

I went with 16gb. Upgrading from Kindle Fire where I used 5gb. I store books, PDFs, magazines and photos. Music is on my phone and I don't see the need to keep movies stored once they have been watched. It works for me
I don't play games either.
I think 16gb is fine if you mostly stream your music/movies. I just got iTunes Match so I don't need to put my music on the local storage, netflix for movies. I opened up the 16gb that I ordered, I was thinking that I would have to return it and get a 32gb but honestly, it's fine. As apps go to retina, there may be a bit of a crunch, but that just means I will have to organize and delete unused apps. No biggie.
I find that when you have iOS devices with tons of storage that you tend to fill it up with tons of shit (most of which you'll never or hardly touch).

Even more so considering Lion has the awesome Air Drop feature.
Plus, iOS has always supported Bonjour.

Yes.
and trust the reviews. If you have any more specific questions, I'm happy to answer. I've been using the app for 3 years, both on my iPad and iPhone to stream in my home, while driving down the road, while at the office.
edit: and if $2.99 is expensive to you, how did you come upon that $500+ iPad? StreamToMe will not disappoint. It will handle your FLAC, AAC, MP3, etc as well as your video files AND photos.

Nice, watching.
Audio's really muffled, though.
edit - and this is just making the fact that my iPad didn't deliver yesterday all the more painful.
Is that Norms pad? Nice.
Most of my 29 are.
Just bought this app...it's awesome! One question though, is there any way to download a photo onto the iPad locally or is that not possible (I'm thinking the latter but figured I might as well ask)?

nice!
As for your question, I'm not sure about that, but I don't believe so.
Also, if you need help setting up remote access (for when you're not at home), let me know.

I had a shot of the new iPad. The screen is just incredible. Really crisp and clear. It's like looking at a high quality glossy magazine. Surfing would be an absolute joy on this.
The rear camera is surprisingly good. I took a couple of photos and a video. Both came out great. It's funny, but when I was using the screen as a viewfinder. It was like someone had cut a hole thru the screen. Very impressive. The shots and vid came out great.
I'll pick one up in June (a birthday prezzie from my wife).

How widespread are the warm color temperature screens? Macrumors people are losing their minds over it.

I truly love that forum for the pure insanity some of those users exhibit. The "BOYCOTT FED-EX" thread was a highlight.
Also, re: warm vs. cool colors, I'm not sure I'm understanding it correctly. My new iPad has what I feel like are deeper blues and whiter whites. Is that more "cool" vs. "warm"?
Mine is fine. The colour balance is great. Better than my monitor and certainly better than my PSVita.
Just like mine doesn't get "unbearably" hot, wasn't destroyed when I opened it, or none of the other widespread problems that are apparently happening. I must be the luckiest person in the world
you mean how widespread is the correct colour temperature? Just go over to macrumors and tell them that the ipad 2 shipped with too cool colour temperature. i'm avoiding there right now, always a clusterfuck after a product launch

Don't put it next to something with a cool temperature. I did, and I noticed it on mine. Warm temp is suppose to make the other colors truer, but it makes white yellowish. So, people hate it.
Same here. No backlight bleed either.
I did get a bad sync cable that won't charge, but I have plenty of extra cables. I'll swap this bad one out when I have time to stop by the Apple store. No biggie.

100% widespread... there is only one panel manufacturer so they're all the same.

The screen is amazing, I dunno if these are the people who put their HDTVs on "blast mode" but it looks great to me.

the whites on my new ipad look white to me.. but I tend to prefer a warmer display.. for me, it is more pleasant to look at than a display with a colder color temperature.
this is what i'm wondering. If you calibrate your TV/projector it can often look dull for a while until you adjust.
