I'm wondering if FEDEX negotiated with apple to sent the apple tv out early in order to free up room for traveling iPads tonight.

Doesn't LTE also have low latency? Wouldn't Facetime work perfectly over it then?

Fedex tried to deliver my smart cover yesterday but I wasn't home. They will try again today. The iPad is sitting in Memphis.

Yeah, I don't know why I am doing it given I won't get to mine until 6pm tomorrow.

Fedex. Neither my wife nor I will be there to sign for it though and we're getting rain/snow in Seattle so unless they deliver it at lunch, I'm gonna let it go until tomorrow rather than have it sit outside for hours. Can't work from home today.

Absolutely.
However, I'm guessing it's a carrier request. I imagine using facetime over LTE would eat your data cap very quickly.

The carriers want us to chew into our data caps so they can charge us overage fees. The game they need to play is slowly releasing the shackles that they made sure were in place when the default plans were all unlimited so that users can test the waters on how much data they'll end up consuming.
With the app download size restrictions and FaceTime over Wifi restrictions...people could annihilate their data plans and cry fowl...so by slowly letting out the reigns people get used to consuming more data over a longer period of time and they'll naturally bump up their plans to match their consumption patterns.
It's shitty, but I get it.

iPad "4".

I bet. All this talk about the useless iSight camera in the back is meaningless. The front one is the only important camera. I wonder if we can open the iPad up and swap camera positions. Doubt it.
Yeah, it's becoming a bit painful to observe all this from the cold Scandinavia. Another week of waiting here - and apparently, they aren't even allowed to set up demo kiosks before the release.

Could be. I'm sure tomorrow is going to be another busy day for Fedex. They must dread another Apple launch.

Is there a video of the comparison in UI/loading speeds between the iPad 2 and the new iPad yet? I would think between the GPU and the 1GB of RAM, there would be several performance advantages.
omg hilarious, thanks for posting.

I'm doing the same thing. Don't worry.
How many people are receiving their iPads from UPS? I feel like I'm one of the few.

...hate me...
Yeah... that won't happen. But why would you need a front camera with 5MPx and great optics? Talk about overkill.
They just need to slap the 720p back camera from the previous iPad (or the current iPod touch) and be done with it.
It's rather strange because right after Apple came up FaceTime in 2010 for the iPhone 4, they went all out to update the Macs' cameras to "FaceTime HD" grade. Now suddenly FaceTime HD isn't relevant at all.
Although... if they're struggling with carriers to bring FaceTime to 3G/4G, upping the resolution won't help - but software could take care of that of course.

Well, I am FINALLY in the shipped category. Mine will arrive tomorrow by 3pm.
How much is the new appletv? Does it support Netflix @ 1080pDD5.1? Can I rent from the apple store? Can I use YouTube movie rentals on it?
What all can be streamed to it? Can I stream mkvs stored on an external device?
Thanks guys. BB credited me $650 so I'm thinking I may get the ATV to go with the pad. If ima do this, ima do it right.

You deserve it for using an OS with that sort of font rendering.Oh shut up. You have to wait 27 hours, I have to wait 20 days.
