Ok cool. That's probably the combo I will go for. The extra flap is the selling point for me. Nice to slip in a microfiber cloth and earphones
WOOL felt lol. But basically yeah. And they are charging £35 for it! Don't thinknill be going for it, but does look nice

Photon Flash Web Browser or Skyfire. Didn't try Photon out but Skyfire seems to work ok in most cases and not at all in some others.

3 does get warm after a prolong use that's y I still use my iPad 2 for reading comics. I'm sure its nothing
It most definitely speeds it up.
iPad charger has higher capacity and is much faster.
iPhone chargers are definately slower on charging the iPad and should only be used as a last resort. Iphone chargers are at 5W while iPad (at least for 1st gen) chargers are at 10W.
btw you can use an ipad charger on your iphone so if you need to save space bring the iPad charger and alternate between the devices when you are away with the devices.

I see some people here exchanged their iPads and claimed that their new screen was not as yellow. Is this true? I thought all the screens were (equally) more warm in general (than most are used to).

I think it's the glues drying over time, especially if this yellow story happens every year with apple products.

I was looking for New iPad Cases since I still haven't decided on one and went to go look at the Targus Slim Case which is one of the ones I was possibly thinking about getting.
Holy shit at the reviews.

Same problem here.
But most of the cases are looking so incredible ugly and disable most of the other
possible accessories. That's why I just bought an iPad sleeve from this store:

I'll be calling OtterBox tomorrow to return my Defender case for the new iPad. The screen protector on that thing actually decreases the resolution of the screen so much that it is extremely noticeable. The magnets also don't work for the sleep/wake function. So, the 2 most important things about having a case to me (screen protection and sleep function) are not working.

I saw at leadst 3 different level of color
One really warm( in shop) mine so-so and one much colder like my iphone
Ill just jailbreak it when possible and install color profile
Does the new iPad feel overall faster than the 2 or even the 1? I've asked earlier about it being able to handle multi-tabs browsing and seems like it's a huge step up from the iPad 1. But how about the loading of graphically intensive pages? The iPad 1 takes forever to do that. How much better is the new iPad?

My iPad doesn't get warm at all. I have watched Netflix and the abc player for over 2 hours without any heat problems.
The more I use my iPad the more I want to keep it. The display is just phenomenal. If I take the same photo and copy over 1024x768 and 2048x1536 versions of it and then A/B compare them... it's like the first time I saw a comparison between 480p and HD content all over again.
Initially I found some annoyances relating to website still not displaying correctly, same as I did with the original iPad - this was a big reason why I sold my original iPad after less than a year. But after spending more time checking various sites I would say that maybe 3 out of every 4 sites that used to display improperly or have missing features (often due to Flash) are now working fine. And in fact it looks like a lot of sites are going to have to increase the resolution of things like logos and other graphics in order to look better on the iPad.
Oh, and if I go to a forum in which there are several large images embedded into a thread, Safari no longer blows up like it did on the original iPad. Finally.

Hey GAF,
I currently own a 1st Generation iPad 64GB Wifi and 3G, and I was wondering if I should trade it in, or sell it? If so, how much should I sell it for? The iPad is in perfect condition with a screen protector already applied. By the way, where is the best place to trade in an iPad? Thanks!

The Daily is a really nice news app. I am considering subscribing to it.
Wow. I was thinking of getting one of these cases but they aren't available in the UK til April 9th. Glad I was forced to wait. It's a shame as I think the case itself looks really good. Perhaps if Targus manage to sort out the magnet issue then it would be a good purchase.
In the meantime I'm thinking of getting a sturdy sleeve case which cn be used with the smartcover?

I don't get why everyone is hung up on the magnetic on off. Sure it sucks that it's advertised as such but it's such a minuscule issue.
I bought the Targus vuscape from BB and its great. The fit is unbelievable.
My iPad is set to turn off after two minutes so even if I do forget to put it to sleep it won't run down the battery.
The case is great but don't count on the magnetic on/off. That's a half to one star off in my book, not four.
Lol yeah. The C. Smith review is from me. The magnet doesn't work at all. If it wasn't for that, it would actually be a great case. Very slim and light. Since they can't even bother to put the magnet in the right place they get 1 star
Well I like that feature and wouldn't have bought it without it so I bought a product for something it advertises as doing, but actually doesn't do at all.
That said, I was waiting until Monday to return it and I like the slim, light size of it so much that I'm not sure I will return it. It's grown on me. Maybe I should modify my review. It's grown on me, just pissed about the magnet
Read 35 issues of walking dead yesterday and it was still at 70% battery. IPad 1 doesn't have a 10 hour battery right? This one seems to last much longer.
I don't have any yellowish tint to my screen, not even when directly comparing to my iPad 1. I don't notice any backlight bleed, or heat either. I have the 4g Verizon. I haven't tested heat after using the cellular network because I haven't left my house since Friday. Probably should have only went with 2gig plan instead of 5g since my home and work have wireless. I do travel a lot though so we'll see by the end of the month.

I understand completely.
Like you said it grew on me immediately after snapping my new iPad.
I just want to let people know that this is a solid case baring the magnet issue, so if you can live with that I would recommend the Vuscape.

Just realized thus thing is the first device I own that supports my 5ghz wifi. Now I have a reason to flip the radio on. Awesome.

Faster than 1. About the same as iPad 2 but now with Retina display and LTE.
The battery is incredible. I used it for about 7 hours yesterday with browsing, gaming, and downloaded about 2.5GB of apps and I didn't even hit 40%. It wasn't at 100% when I started either. It's just as much of a leap forward as the Retina screen. And yet people are bitching because it's 1mm thicker lol

This screen!!!
Seriously this is much more impressive to me then the iPhone retina screen because of how large and in your face it is
And books are a thing of beauty

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Please tell me the Edge magazine app just needs to be updated so it actually operates like it used to, the image redraw is terrible.
In fact, most of the things I want to use this for aren't ready for the new resolution yet, kind of a bummer...
