Thinking I may just bite the bullet on this one.

shilala · 03-07-2012, 12:42 PM

I just tried to order online, it isn't ready. They're updating right now, I got to see prices, etc.
I also tried calling, they won't even answer because of the call volume.

It is confirmed, Apple is calling this "The new iPad". Not sure that was the smartest move but meh...

The presentation is over now and the new iPad info page is up on the Apple site. Store is still down though.

I "gave" my wife the iPad 2 for Christmas with the caveat that I was waiting until now to get it... she wanted to save the money and didn't need it right away so she was totally fine with it. We are having our 2nd kid in a couple weeks and she wanted an iPad by then so our 3 and 1/2 year old daughter can do kids apps on it. I have no desire to get the new iPad because my daughter won't know the difference!?! LOL

So now I will wait another week to see how much of a sale price other retailers will sell the iPad 2 for... I'm hoping for $299 - $349 for the 16GB

mmblz · 03-07-2012, 01:21 PM

so... the retina display comparison on this page:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/

... doesn't work in Safari on 10.7 ... ???
DOES work in IE on Win 7 ???

WTF Apple?

I need to get my from Best Buy (I have a huge credit there after selling back a couple of old laptops). I hope that they will be taking pre-orders soon...

I told my family to wait till March for the new iPad. They all listen to me and are now happy that they waited. I skipped iPad 2 because it was already known they were going to improve the display and processor. I will just go and pick one up next week. I wonder if they are doing credit on a iPhone4 trade in?

ARRR MAC users i once again ask myself why you get so excited over something thats only a little better than the last but will cost about 3x the price.

Not saying the new stuff is better but the original chunky iphone and huge ipad are so much better IMHO they feel heavy and chunky and like they might be worth some of the thousands of pounds you pay for them.

Price is the same as the IPAD2 before the price drop. $100 more is 3x the price?
