Well being it retailed for 729, good condition....
At least 500.
But I'm not selling. As much as the A6X tempts me, I'll wait until I guess iPad 5 in...
6 mos would be May

so who is going to get the ipad mini? despite the fact it shares the same hardware as the ipad 2 which is about 1.5 generations old + the fact its sporting a low res screen (compared to the 7" tablet market)? I'm in a dilemma...

Yea but you gotta remember, while it has the same resolution as the iPad 2, it's a higher DPI because it's a smaller screen. So technically, it's better. The pixels are smaller.

I am really praying the Ipad 4 comes out 11/2 as planned. I just bought an Ipad 3 10/4 and since it is within 30 days, I can trade it in with no additional charge. Fingers crossed.

Apple calls it the 4th generation iPad, so it's technically the iPad 4.

4th Generation iPad Benchmarks Show 1.4GHz Dual Core Processor, 1GB of RAM
Monday October 29, 2012 11:35 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
John Poole of Primate Labs posts about some 4th Generation iPad benchmarks that appeared in their Geekbench database on Sunday night.
True to Apple's claims, the 4th Generation iPad benchmarks about twice as fast as the 3rd Generation iPad. The new iPad is based on an A6 processor which was first introduced in the iPhone 5. The iPad's processor is called the A6X, signifying the inclusion of quad-core graphics (vs triple-core) to help drive the device's larger Retina display. The 4th Generation iPad's A6X processor also appears to be clocked at 1.4GHz, slightly faster than the iPhone 5's processor which runs at 1.3GHz. This speed boost is reflected in the benchmarks above. (Readers should note that the original iPhone 5 benchmarks suggested that its A6 ran at 1.0GHz, but later more accurate testing showed it to actually to be ~1.3GHz.)
The amount of RAM in the device remains at 1GB -- the same as the 3rd Generation iPad and iPhone 5.
The 4th Generation iPad is now available for pre-order and will officially launch on Friday, November 2nd alongside the iPad mini.

iPad mini should have the same performance as the iPad 2 and 3rd generation.

I need to get a new iPad. Still can't believe I've hung on to the original 64GB as long as I have.
So... I use my iPad a shitton while on the train. It has a 3G radio and I have the unlimited data plan. Should I elect just to get a WiFi iPad and jailbreak/tether to my iPhone (which also has unlimited data, but it's a 4S) or be a man, get the LTE radio and keep my unlimited iPad data plan?
Ah, decisions...

Since you have unlimited and have not broken the service...can you continue said service on a new iPad or did they put the kibosh on that?
tethering sounds good in theory...but now your draining the battery on two devices.

Have you tracked how much data you are using on your ipad a month?

I do believe unlimited plans on ATT can be rolled over for iPads.
