Those pics of the white pad are extreme. Who reads text like that? And how often do you watch video in that style?
The white iPad is far superior for reading comics and browsing

...and picking up chicks. Lets not forget that old adage: "White gets 'em wet, black makes them jet."

No. No. No. In daylight or well-lit rooms at night, black absolutely looks like those photos. In darkness, yes, the black levels are not brilliant, as it's IPS. But that doesn't mean that suddenly a white frame helps. The blacks levels are the same. The white frame doesn't 'fool the eye' into making blacks looks blacker, if anything it's slightly distracting.

So he can sell his iPad for a bit of money :3
You must not be familiar with once you go black you don't go back.
I got a white 32GB WiFi
holy shit, lol
Speaking of black levels, I wonder if the new screen improves on that. They only mentioned the resolution and color saturation increase during the keynote. As far as I remember, the iPad 2 actually had worse blacks than its predecessor, so would be nice if that got improved this time around.

$$$$ I ordered 2, plus a third for a family member under there account. I no longer want the 16gb cause I've convinced myself the 32 is better, so I can either A. return the 16, or B. if there is a shortage, sell it for (hopefully) a profit and basically pay for the upgrade i did to the 32gb. Worst comes to worst I set a minimum ebay price of $700 for the 16gb, if it doesn't meat that I'm out of the ebay auction cost and return the ipad to apple for a refund. no big deal
So... now that preorders appears to be wrapping up on Apple.com who is planning to wait in line on launch day? It's be best if Apple sells it at 8 am in the morning instead of 5pm in the evening as it was last year.\
edit: uh, Avixph changed his comment saying that Apple.com was no longer accepting preorders....

Weeeeeee! Mine shipped this morning.
The 16th can't get here fast enough. I sold mine and I rather miss it now. I used that thing a whole lot.
I've gone back to reading more books this week though. That's kind of nice. Makes me hope that iPad 4 will have a nice color e-ink screen ( but that's improbable). Still, I'd rather have that than haptic feedback.

Depends how much of a tech lover you are.
iPad 3 is ways ahead but the iPad 2 is perfectly capable and will be enough for 80% of people.

what the hell!! I ordered at noon and its at processing. not just processing shipment but just processing!
They would have iPad 2 cases that would help me narrow down my choices while waiting for "New" iPad cases to come out.
Where's the pre-sign option I wonder. Does this show up after it's shipped?
Any case recommendations from you guys?
I ordered this:

But will cancel if you guys have something better in the same general price range. I am not looking to spend 100 dollars on a case.

Those look nice and I was happy with my Ipad 1 Targus case. I think I'll grab one but I don't see anywhere that says when it will actually be released.
Honestly, unless you are going to be using this in a work environment where you need to have connection 24/7 are you really going to be using it someplace where you will not have wifi access? I mean paying 20 bucks a month plus the added cost alone seems totally unneeded to me, but everywhere I will be using mine I will have wifi, you might be different....

I'm thinking of getting an iPad. I've never had one before and am wondering what the right size is for it. My first thought is that size shouldn't matter too much because you're not going to be listening to music on it and aren't going to be downloading video with all the streaming.. but then I got to thinking that HD games could get pretty large in the future. What do you guys think? Is 16gb a fine size or is it worth it to go for a larger size?
Yeah, I don't know. I was just thinking of it having some use when Im camping or at the beach. Still undecided.

Camping + beach activities = smashed iPad.
Awesome, thanks.
You can live with a smaller size, but depending on what you sink in there you might be shuffling around for space. I put a bunch of stuff in there (for non-work use it's basically my travel laptop) so 32GB wasn' t enough and since 2 I've been buying the 64GB version. If you can spare 100 I'd start with a 32GB as it's a good compromise w/o being overly expensive. If you end up liking the whole iPad thing, you'll then be in a good position to upgrade/downgrade on the next iteration you end up purchasing.
I've always found smartphone internet to be sufficient in those kinds of situations.
And the beach especially is scratch central. Sand is the enemy.

Mine has shipped but I have no idea where it is. Fed Ex hasn't updated their tracking info for me so it just says "not found" at the moment. I'd assume it'll update tomorrow.

I did. I travel a lot for work. I'm going to buy the 50 dollar 5gb verizon plan plus it can be used as a hotspot for my vita or whatever else for free. 50 dollars is steep but my company pays for my iPhone and the plan so it's no big deal since it's not like I have to pay for a phone data plan as well.
The retina screen alone is well worth the $100 you saved, you'll likely regret it soon as you see one in person I imagine.

Mine is still 'Processing Items' and I ordered as soon as possible once the store was back online.

for $100 more you get retina display, Quad Core Graphics, 1080p video
I already have an iPhone 4S. Retina screen is amazing, I know.
