^That's why I sold my iPad and just bought a new one with the new software on it so I wouldn't have to deal with that bullshit!

Between you guys and the keynote speech that I just watched, my fingers took over and clicked on stuff until I got a thank you page.

16GB WiFi Black

I got all the 4G I need tethering with my rooted VzW Android Phone

Damn you guys.

Pretty much. The only thing I've pre-ordered that I can recall are video games, i don't ever recall pre-ordering electronics because I've always been a late adopter because I want to 1) get others opinions about them and 2) give the manufacturer a chance to weed out the issues with them. This was why I didn't get an iPod until their 6th iteration! I was a little surprised that I got the iPad2, but their quality in recent years is much different than what it was 10, let alone 5 years ago.

Omg this is awesome with movies in the cloud.

So I have a digital copy of wall-e and the dark knight that came with the blurays I bought.

Anyways with movies in the cloud, it shows that I purchased the movie in iTunes and will let me watch it on my apple TV

No I think he was saying the wife is the issue. When I told mine I preordered one, the look I got was beyond this and the first comment was, "you're selling the one you have now".

Any new Ipad cases out yet? Will the cases for the ipad 2 fit?

By virtue of the fact you HAVE an Apple product. It's all about the logo.

Don't worry about screen protector and a iPad 2 case should do the trick.


I use this one and my son has one in desert camo. Love it !!

Slow down buddy

iPad 2 cases will not fit the new one. Its thicker by a hair.

How much traveling are you going to do with said iPad? My first gen has been fine for over a year with just a shell case to protect the aluminum from getting scratched up. The screen is the same gorilla glass screen. Its tough.

What WILL fit the new iPad is the magnetic smart screen cover from apple...thats all you need to protect the screen. IF you want more...some companies are going to come out with rear shells that still allow for use of the smart cover.

To me, thats the best bet.

I just read this morning that Apple says "most accessories" (including the smart cover) for the ipad 2 will fit the new ipad.
