Don't look so smug.
That performance increase is why I jumped on the iPad 2 immediately...just wish new iPad had a similar jump, the same performance is painful sometimes.
Rotation lock, either soft switch in the multitasking bar (swipe left), or you can swap it with the mute switch in Settings. (and in the case of Air Video, it simply doesn't have a portrait mode to rotate to)
That's ultimately the main issue with any advanced third party stylus, particularly with that one where it won't work at all without the software support (whereas the Jot or Pogo prototypes work without it as just plain styluses).
I'd kill for that in SketchBook...although I'm not sure the app structure/performance could handle it. Need a faster iPad!
I think Crayola did that with their stylus (which I think was Bluetooth and made by Griffin?).

Got my Switcheasy Canvas case today, pretty happy with it. The canvas has a nice finish to it.

Yeah I use the hardware rotation lock.. I keep it locked in portrait and want screens to open in landscape without requiring me to toggle the little switch. I'm assuming it's just not possible.
lol, actually wait, how do I set my my Mac to display 768x1024 rather than 1024x768 that would also solve my problem.

I'm going to buy one of these tomorrow. Any case recommendations?
It's kind of exciting. I've never owned a tablet before.

Ah, that one looks very nice. I think I'll get one.

If I want a note-taking app, should I get Penultimate or Notability?
a similar jump from the ipad 1 to the ipad 2 while doubling the screen resolution? Thats asking alot.
What are you doing that you feel that the ipad 2 or 3 is slow? Cause i have a 3, my GF has a 2 and i have a 4s, they are all great.
So good i notice a difference using coworkers brand new iphone 4, the menu scrolling feels sluggish.

You should b able to "hot key" open the first two items within a folder by tapping or double tapping with two fingers on the folder.
So since Apple keeps playing games with my heart and bumping up and now pushing back my ship date with no actual movement think I'm gonna break down and cancel and take some time out to go pick one up tomorrow. Stock is pretty good yes? Bay area here fwiw. Might even be tempted to get the 64 now that I'm seeing the size of some of these apps. Hmm.
Seriously, every time I read a comic on this thing it's awesome; I'd almost think that alone was worth the price.
Also, I may have mentioned it before, but ABC's video app is great. They were really quick to jump on the retina upgrade and the streaming quality is outstanding.
Paper seems pretty cool, but I don't know that I'd use it enough to justify buying the add ins.

Not without a good stylus.
Reading comics are awesome on it. I think I was sold on the device with the screen. The Walking Dead looks really crisp on it. I'm currently re-reading Y: The Last Man, and the display really makes the scanned look more obvious, but that's not such a big deal.
I downloaded Paper, as well. It's definitely pretty cool, though I don't have much use for it. My cheap-ass stylus is sufficient, though I might actually invest in a better one for other purposes.

You can order one to pick up in an apple store from apple's website.. seems like they'll hold one for you..
Eh, I wouldn't use it much anyway so even what is out there now would be sufficient. But yeah I'd imagine any actual artist would prefer something different. App still looks nice though.
Paper should combine with Draw Something.

I'm looking for a site with some nice wallpapers for the new iPad. Google is letting me down so far.
Any suggestions?

It still is really weird to me to come home and instead of head to the computer head to my big chair and kick back. I got halfway through opening my closet door and then was like "oh yeahhhhhh" I totally forgot about the iPad.

Yayy! Pad arrived yesterday! 1st time Apple experience!
The Apps are soo nice. Some things bother me:
- Can't put all the useless preinstalled apps in a folder or remove them...
- Why did I download iTunes and made a 200-Wishlist if I can't even access it from the iPad!?? wtf
- No Widgets at all? Even the Weather app has to work with the lil red number and can't show negative temperatures on the homescreen.
- Can't even freely place apps or adjust the column number? Or have more settings, adjustment and customization in general...
But other than that it's pretty awesome! Heat is not really affecting me; recharging while using works well enough. And the apps! I bought it for them. There is a bunch of nice Musical apps on there!

Sounds like you should jailbreak my friend.

Open up a dark image and turn brightness to its highest. That will show you if you have backlight bleeding. It shouldn't be red though.
System Preferences->Displays->Display tab->Rotation
Not sure if it's enabled on all displays (used to be some lockouts before when they first added it) but it should be there.
Well "similar jump" was best case scenario, more realistically I was hoping for an iPhone 3GS->4 jump (just a clock boost) rather than none.
SketchBook can get painful at times, Numbers could stand to be smoother, Touch Draw when things get complex, basically productivity stuff, like the iPhoto part here in the Anandtech review (well music stuff could stand to load faster...but I suck at music so don't use them as much). A more common example would be just web browsing. iPad 2 was a huge improvement in speed (and the new one helps tab retention) but it could still stand to be faster on pages with more complex code.
but I think stocks for pickup are different from instore stock, if you get what I mean. There will be smaller number of ipads that can be reserved than the store will have - otherwise they'd have none to sell to people coming in.
See if they give you an immediate pickup date, and if not I'd still go down and try your luck. Give them a ring beforehand they'll give you an idea of stock levels.
edit: nm, saw you have pickup for tomorrow.

I went to sit in the park for an hour yesterday whilst on my lunchbreak, ate my sandwhich and read some more Game of Thrones (CoK).
After just half an hour of reading ... MY IPAD WAS SUPER HOT. OH NO.

I'm of course, being 100% sarcastic - it was clearly the sun but some of the heat complaints I've read/heard do sound just as ridiculous as this

I've been playing with Paper a bit too and think it is kind of fun to play with, but would be better with a stylus. Any hands on experience with anyone using with one? I was at Marshall's department store last weekend with my gf and saw they had iPad Styluses there for like $6. Maybe I should grab one to mess around with Paper more.
My fear is that it'll end up being a novelty and I'm not sure I want to pay more for the different brushes, but I do think it is a nice looking app.

The sun? If you mean it was the outdoor brightness causing the light detector to turn up the backlight to max, then you're right. If the sun really heated up your iPad that would be a much bigger concern.
Pardon me for asking but what do you intend to use Paper for? Why did you download it in first place: you heard about it on GAF or TheVerge? It was free? It looked nice? It appeared fun (as a toy)? It appeared useful (as a tool)? Some, or all, of the above?

What does it matter? I'll admit that the fact that it was free was an incentive to download it, because I wouldn't have payed anything for it otherwise. It was also getting insanely hyped on every tech site yesterday so it was impossible to miss that this apps, which was also featured in the App Store, was out there.
I like the idea of a notes/sketch app like this one, I just haven't been impressed with the execution of them before this in large part because they don't work well a finger in my opinion.
That said, why does it matter why I downloaded it?
