The new iPad |OT|

Oh, I've noticed the new one can run warm at times when the first and second didn't. It's not hot like a laptop. It is slightly warmer on the left side compared to the right. Not a big deal but I noticed it after using it around on hour on Friday.

No, it's different. Go hold an iPad 2 in an Apple store. Cold. Hold a new one. Quite hot in some cases, very warm in others. It's definitely not the same.
I have been using my ipad for the last hour using airplay and browsing the web, and the back is just as cool to the touch as my 2 ever was. My brightness isnt on torch mode though.

Eh paid 44. I trust Logitech h more.
That explains it. I was using it earlier for 15 minutes and it got pretty warm. I thought maybe I was just holding onto it too long.
The engraving was on the back and was purchased through Apple.com. The CR rep at the register didn't even look on the back to verify - she quickly went to the settings menu to match the serial number to my electronic receipt, scanned it with the box and asked me which model I wanted to upgrade to.
The engraving was very personal to the both of us, but she bought the wrong model. I told her the only thing she needed to engrave for me next time would be a tombstone.
It gets warm but I don't see what the big deal is. Just because it gets warm doesn't mean it's in danger of overheating. Play Crysis and then touch the CPU heatsink on your PC if you want to know what "hot" electronics really feels like.
EDIT: Also for people wanting a leather case, check out the SENA cases. I'm a huge proponent of the SENA Ultraslim sleeve. It's perfect for the iPad.

I've used mine for two+ hours tonight, still cool. I assume the units in stores are on full brightness plus plugged in constantly charging. Thus the heat, but that is still different than older iPads that never got hot even under those circumstances.

I think the concern comes from the fact that some are overheating, as screenshots at sites like macrumors indicate.
After visiting it for the last week, I have concluded going to macrumors forums is always a mistake.

I hated my MBP. Sold it for a MacBook Air and the only time it heats up is if I attempt WoW on it or watch even a minute of Flash video. My experience with the new iPad appears to be different from most in that it never has heated up yet despite prolonged usage.
Is photo stream switched on for both devices?
Photo stream works fine. I just thought by physically syncing to iTunes on my computer, that it would pull down all my iPhone pics and place them on my iPad. Is that not the case?

You need iPhoto for that.
That seems so odd. I mean, the photos are backed up to iCloud. Why can't I just pull them down to another iOS device?
That's where photo stream comes in. And I'm guessing that's where photo stream comes in because there isn't another easy way to do it

So I'm gonna get an iPad on Thursday. 
Is there any sort of delay with in-store pickup? Like, could I order it Wednesday night or Thursday morning and then show up at the store hours later to pick it up? You know, just to be all V.I.P. about it.

Man I am impressed with the appstore offerings for the iPad. Some quality stuff.
Just got
ComicGlass
Textastic
What I need now is a file manager/unzip utility. I have a decent sized dropbox I am bouncing most of my files around, but I need something for unzips. Suggestions?
Also downloading my comics into comicGlass. Man what a smooth I/F.
Edit: How do you rename new folders you create in comicGlass?

i've had my iPad running all day doing something (solid white screen, movies, whatever), hoping that faint yellow cloud would disappear. It has not. I REALLY don't want to make another trip to the Zoo aka the Apple Store.
I might buy a couple more iPads in addition to the replacement one. That way if the replacement is a dud, I'll open the next one and hope for better. If that one is fine, I'll just return the unopened ones/duds. idk. I was really hoping the cloud would fade on this one, as it's perfect otherwise.

Is it night and day reading comics on the ipad compared to a laptop? Comics, the new toy appeal, airplay, the screen, and itunesU are all really pushing me to get one. I probably should replace my futon with a new couch before I keep considering it but still...One of these days this year I'm going to throw down some cash like the rest of you and walk out with a 32GB wifi iPad.
Got the same mail from maroo. Tbh even if mine doesn't wake it up, I might not ask for a replacement. I have a smart cover for day to day use, the maroo is for taking it out and about so I can manage to press a button and swipe. Weirdly if they'd denied everything i'd probably want a replacement - its their fault for not testing and just assuming it was fine (although apple could have given some info to case makers). But because they are being so open, I don't feel like causing them more pain than they'll already be in - specially as they had the 50% off sale so would have shipped a lot

Wanna sell me one of your smart covers lol.
Compared to a laptop? Absolutely. Form factor is much closer to a comic/book. Screen is gorgeous, full screen viewing with simple tap/swipe to change pages means you're absorbed in the comic much more, it's so much lighter and easier to rest on your lap while reading, simple to grab and instant on.
Also so much better than a laptop for web browsing (unless you need 27 tabs open simultaneously and absolutely must have flash)
FFFffff. I might be there around 23:45 hoping that I can get one. Don't feel like standing in line any longer than that haha.
Try "Izip.com" for an unzip utility. It's an iPhone app and a little wonky, but it works. And is free.
FilesConnect is probably the best "file manager," wifi NAS/computer browser, cloud service accesser, etc.
To rename a folder in ComicGlass, tap and hold on it and an edit screen will come up.

Can't understand why they wouldn't just allow for online orders. Funny thing is that my shop allowed preorders briefly and my order still stands

Apple? Well, they're quite smart in the whole supply chain management here. Making sure that most of the allocation was available for their biggest markets and when launching in 25 new countries, just allow them to order on that day, essentially making it BTO.
Hopefully the stores have a few units and not just 20 or so.

Anyone know where I can buy one of these in Canada?

I think the case for flash is almost in the sunset with the exception of a few holdouts (newgrounds which I don't think i've been to in years) I usually don't have more than 4-5 tabs at a time open anyways.
Just figured out how to watch true 1080 P movie trailers on apple.com Man this screen is magnificent. Here's a good example, Pixar's brave.
Step 1: go to apple.com and hold press on watch HD and copy the link for the movie you want to watch and this is what you get
http://trailers.apple.com/movies/disney/brave/brave-tlr3_a720p.m4v?width=1280&height=544
Step 2: now remove this
a720p.m4v?width=1280&height=544
Step 3: now add on this
h1080p.mov
Step 4: and this is what you should get put this in your Safari and enjoy the HD glory.

Oh sure, I just don't know what Proc's needs are, so just flagging them up.
Okay this is weird. I turned my iPad off last night to give it a decent wipe, and noticed that if slight pressure is applied to the screen, (most noticeably the central bit) it pushes slightly inwards, behaving more akin to plastic, rather than glass.
I don't think my ipad2 did this, so have Apple compromised on the sturdiness of the screen, maybe it's to do with the retina display. But to my knowledge, glass doesn't have that way.
You need some sort of light reflection to see the rippling in the screen obviously.

Just yesterday I followed a link from GAF that required flash:
http://korranation.tumblr.com/post/19586633139/bryan-konietzko-creator-of-a-tla-and-the-legend
Switched to iSwifter and it played the video so no problem.
The issue I noticed on mine is that there seems to be a slight green cast along with the regular warmness. Like even a solid yellow has a light green tinge, kind of like a slightly off neon yellow. If it were just warmer calibration I'd probably live with it but noticing the green is bugging me like crazy with some colors (yellows, grays...and wood-ish colors in particular seem way off).
iPad 2 did this too. The other option is either a thicker strong pane that doesn't flex or a thin pane that doesn't flex...but would likely just shatter as a result. Flexibility isn't a bad thing.
(don't ask me to explain how glass can be flexible but I figure it has something to do with the whole aluminosilicate structure rather than the usual glass material)
It is quite good. Now enjoy the pitiful data caps.

Sort of off topic here, but maybe one of you Apple aficionados can help me out...
I am trying to add a few new contacts to my iPhone 4, but every time I go to the phone, type in the number, and push the + button, it throws me back to the home screen. Same as when I try to push the little blue arrow in the Recent Calls list - right back to the home screen.
Anybody know how to fix that?
