jemsklile Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 what do you think? http://www.apple.com/ipad/ let the apple praising and shit-talking commence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Keeping with the same pricepoints, it's definitely a nice upgrade for the second iteration. -Front/back cameras -33% thinner -.2lbs lighter -2x faster processor And it's still getting the 10 hour battery life. I still don't need a tablet, but I'd still place the iPad at the top of my list if I was in the market for one. Edit - I don't think I used the word 'still' enough times.

steviex2shoes Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 That cover thing is genius. A couple years ago me, would have totally neglected this apple announcement, but now I just want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 That cover is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Damnit, I want one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 For those interested, first gen iPads are now on clearance in Apple's e-store. Refurbs are also discounted. (A $500 first gen model is now $400, or $350 refurbished). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihprstl Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've actually been thinking about getting rid of my iPhone and getting a cheap monthly phone plan and getting an iPad and just paying the monthly data for the iPad whenever I need it. Not sure if that would save me money over the long haul or not. My phone bill sucks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that would save me money over the long haul or not. My phone bill sucks ass. Depending on which iPhone you have it could pay for a large chunk of the iPad. I sold my iPhone 3GS 32GB for 400 bucks and it completely paid for my iPhone 4 32GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 They look super nice. I don't think I'd be in any rush to get rid of my 1st gen ipad and get this new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I sent my MacBook Pro back (i got it 11 days before the new model came out), and am waiting about a week, between sending it back and waiting for the new model in the mail.. so I picked up an iPad just to hold me over (with intentions of returning it when my macbook comes in).. but I gotta admit, I love it. Will definitely be picking up an iPad2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure how much each model is going for now but it's definitely worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a fair amount depending on if they are 8gb, 16gb or 32gb. Just check it out on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boobz09 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 i wonder what the next iphone is gonna be like! excited to see that. I wanna buy a used iphone 3gs 16gb or 32gb but dont wanna spend more than like $200 on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 An iPad would be cool to have but it's just not necessary for me to have. I wish I could win a contest and get one. That'd be the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgedestroys Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've wanted an iPad since the first one came out if for nothing else to draw on. It'd be a lot more convenient than dragging my laptop and tablet around, not that it's really that inconvenient to begin with but regardless, it reduces the amount of stuff you have to drag around and is beastly well designed. +For plane rides and road trips or traveling in general it'd be pretty phenomenal to have.

takingchase Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I really don't like how they omitted a lot of features fans were clamoring for specifically SD support, I just don't see any reason not to include this except to cash in on more money which is part of the reason why I hate apple in the first place. This is really what I can't wait to get my hands on http://www.notionink.com/features.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgedestroys Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Rainmeter running on a tablet? Fancy. I like this, even if I didn't get much use out of it when I tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I wouldn't hold my breath on an SD card. I don't see much of a need for it on the iPad anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
