Apple: iPad News and Discussion Thread
Decided to walk into my local Staples late Saturday on the chance they had it and sure enough they had a ton, in every configuration except white which they haven't received yet. First tablet and loving it so far. The screen is truly beautiful and this thing is just so smooth and snappy compared to my laptop for surfing. Loving it.
Can anyone recommend a good Windows 7 Desktop control app? Is Desktop Connect the way to go?

So I played with it in Best Buy, they had the New next to the 2 and I couldnt tell the difference until I really looked at photos, etc. That told me I dont need the new one. Its gorgeous and if I had the 1 or none, I would get it, but I cant justify the jump from the 2 to the 3. Its a sad day.

Whiskers must be blind. There's no other explanation.Its not possible for Yumchah to say anything even remotely positive about an Apple product so no surprise there. Although I doubt he even touched it. That would be like a vampire touching garlic.

I have never called them crap or
. Ever. And I have the posts to prove that.
I can easily see the difference when looking at photos, the home screen is slightly clearer, but that much. Im sure some apps are clearer, but it wasnt the wow factor when I saw them side by side. I think if I bought it before seeing it, I would have been disappointed when it came. Its still a great product and I probably will eventually have it, its just not a huge difference between that and the 2.
Clearly, I need new glasses and a lobotomy.

All hail the Fruit!
Holy shiet...
There goes the exclusivity I thought I had...
After the final bell, Apple announced that the company moved more than 3 million new iPads in the first four days of eligibility, making the new iPad the fastest selling tablet in the world

I stream DVD and bluray rips from my server to my iPad. When I had the ipad 2 I couldn't tell the difference between dvd or bluray on it because screen was so low res. Now with the new screen there's so much more pixels I can see all the detail I was missing. Looks fantastic!Also on webpages with small text, say if you went to www.theverge.com or www.nytimes.com you can read the article without having to zoom in and the text looks so much clearer.
but yeah on the home screen it's doesn't look amazingly better. The home screen was designed to look well on a low res screen so you only get clearer text, better rounded corners on the icon and a little bit more detail to some icons. It's the videos, pics, small text that looks really good.
As posted earlier, the iPad super-duper HD will come out in December with 10 billion of pixels per 1/4 of an inch, (X-ray, time-travel retina). You be able see backwards in time and regret your three previous purchases.
Hey, given your line of work with photos, I'm sure you see the huge difference...again, I wasn't looking at pictures and just had both the 2 and NEW side-by-side with Safari open. And again, didn't see anything different.

Okay...tried it out again tonight. Yes, the pictures and high-res videos do look better. However, for day-to-day surfing of the tablet, not sure if upping from the iPad2 is exactly the huge improvement, IMO.
And from a browser perspective, like reading a website and news, again, I did not see much of a difference.

from a browser perspective...its light years better. Just the text alone.
The real test, and what I showed my wife...the kindle app on the old screen vs the new screen. Its a night and day difference...as is reading.
While I really enjoyed reading books on my 1st gen....reading now is VERY enjoyable. I love it.

Does anyone elses 10w charger get really hot when charging their iPad? It's almost to the point where I can't touch it.
However when I use the same charger for my iPhone, it doesn't even get warm...

For anyone with a JB 2 (and I will guess the new one when its jailbroken) I bought a cydia app that makes the retna iphone apps look good in 2x called retna pad. works and a very well spend 2 bucks.
Retina iPad already uses retina iPhone graphics. I was thinking about getting that for my ipad 2 but i decided just to save my $2 and get the new iPad instead.






we all know you're a freak
thanks whisky
