The new iPad |OT|

I'm not saying I don't believe you. But I dont believe you.

I only checkboard when I look at PDFs on my ipad 1. You can choose not to believe me (or anyone else), but there's really no reason for me to lie about something so silly! My new ipad arrives tomorrow, so it's all academic anyways!
 
There's no way they are actually recycling the $145 one, so I say there's no way they are actually recycling the $30 one.

You're the one using the actual meaning of the word, which I assumed you knew before asking your original question. :)

Of course they're "recycling" it to the marketplace. For their proverbial "cash profitz". But unlike Gamestop they have no interest in building a resale/pawnshop marketplace. It's just a way for them to offload extra stock/repairs stock. Which is why their cashback is low and why you can't stumble into them at the front of an Apple Store.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure FS/BB do the same thing at times. I remember seeing FS ads every year to "bring in your old device!" for what usually amounted to $25-50 back, depending on what it was.

I have no problem waiting in line for midnight release of games instead of just pre-ordering. It's 2 hours of standing in line and there's giveaways. But 12 hours with no giveaways? fuck that.

I don't see the point in waiting in line. I hate it. I ordered it at midnight on the first day. I'll have it on day one and I don't need to leave the house or pay any extra. It's so much more ideal

If you camp out at an Apple store you will almost certainly be treated to coffee, water, bagels, donuts and energy bars. I think some even do T-Shirts?
 
Daft question, do iPads come with a Maine adapter or just a USB?

I hate that apple products don't come with plugs as I lost my other so only have one for a few devices now, time for me to stop being tight I suppose

It comes with it's own plug like all iPhone's Macs, iPad's etc do.

iPads come with AC adapter and USB cable for charging from the wall or some USB 2.0 source.

Have since the first iPad.

Kinda clear based on the other posts, but magsafe Macs typically come with a single cable/AC adapter solution that doesn't have a USB port on it. The iPad, on the other hand, has a 10w version of the same adapter the iPhone gets.
 

Reason 6: The porn issue

Look, someone had to say this, so it might as well be me. Apple has a major thing against porn, wanting its devices to be family friendly. What does that mean for you pervs out there?

Well, if you thought that oh-so-wonderful retina display could be used to render naughty images in super-duper-pervo-vision, you’re wrong. Apple is blocking all the potential apps that would take advantage of the retina display, so go on back down to your Mom’s basement and wait until Samsung brings out a high-res display for one of their Android tablets.

Ewww.

Ridiculous. Apple may not allow porn apps but porn most definitely works through Safari...or so I'm told.
 
I wonder how many charges my USB battery will get on the new ipad, if it will even get one full charge. It charged my iPad 1 1.5 times.

Can someone pretty please answer this for me: I have an engraved 16GB ipad coming in tomorrow. Can I replace this for a 32GB at the apple store, and would it even be reasonable to assume they would have replacement stock?

Edit: my wife is looking for a 16GB iPad 2 if anyone is in the market to sell.

The implication that Google would allow porn apps on the Play Store is also false, isn't it?

You can't literally find porn apps on the Android side of the fence, can you?

...can you?

Seriously, can you?!

I doubt it. But not really sure.

The resolution certainly looks nice. Doesn't anyone else find it funny that Apple have not named this an iPad 3? interesting way to mask the the fact that these come out every year and your old model will be out-dated before you know it. ;)

I've seen Android apps where it just shows you naked girls, but I haven't seen apps where you simulate any sex.

I think it only makes sense. Isn't the phone the only item Apple currently names like that?

You cracked it.
 
My iPad was literally across the country as of yesterday afternoon. *Ontario - Headed to Vancvouer, BC*.

That little thing better be strapped to a rocket.

Wait, technology gets outdated?

Who knew that!?!?

My dad got a 500$ Apple from Apple so... an almost-free iPad 3 for the family! :D
Tell your dad to get the 32 GB version.

So when I get this baby tomorrow (at work) I should be able to just enter my AppleID and sync everything from my old iPad from the cloud?
 
Oh my. Going for the devils advocate approach to get clicks I guess.

My favourite is the '4G bills' one. Apparantly smartphone owners with 4G will have smaller bills because their screens are smaller. Rr - aren't the websites the same size regardless what you view it on?

Of course. I assumed he meant streaming movies at a higher resolution. I'm not sure how Netflix does this, so he may have a point (though nothing will be over 1080p anyway so it's kinda moot). And it's not like you HAVE to stream movies using 4G, you can still use wifi, or you know NOT stream HD movies on the go.

Just a terrible, terrible article all around.

You could theoretically serve up higher res assets for an iPad3. I highly doubt many websites are going to do that though, most default to the mobile version on an iPad now.
