Hahahaha! I like the expression of the guy on the right. He's like, "No you DIDN'T bring an iPad to a concert!"

I have an annual pass to Disneyland and go every weekend, you'd be surprised how many tourists (and I'm sure locals too) are using tablets to take photos..

[QUOTE="M3boarder23"][QUOTE="darkspineslayer"][QUOTE="M3boarder23"] U know u Can sell ur iPad 2 right :|

Why would I do that? It's still in near perfect condition (though I can't say the same for the smart cover) At best I could hope to get $400 for it, leaving me holding the bag for the last 200 for such a minimal upgrade. 'U know u don't have to run out and buy every new apple product, right? :|'

You're quadrupoleing the resolution, and upgrading the CPU and GPU to handle the quadrupole resolution for a measily $200 upgrade :|

Putting aside the fact that next to no apps will make real use of those resources for quite awhile yet, I work part time at McDonalds...a "measily" $200 for you is a months work for me.

It it looks the same Runs the same apps And increases the CPU and GPU enough to only maintain the slightly larger resolution, but with the same quality, Is it really worth dropping another $600 on it?

If you buy "The New iPad" now, does it become "the old The New iPad" a year from now?

I love Apple for some of their products but specifically for me the Ipad is a waste of money so I won't get one and neither do I have any of the other Ipads. As for the name I really hope they find something better than"The New Ipad"

The screen is sexy, but if I wanted to buy an overpriced thing, it would be a Lenovo U300 or Macbook Air.

I give Apple cred for actually updating the hardware because that is something that we usually burn them on (honestly you could buy a laptop with roughly the same specs for the price of this new ipad), but no I won't be buying the new ipad. Nothing personal, but I don't have an extra $500 to burn.

Plus I really find that tablets in general lean more towards gaming and can do buisnes if you want it to, where as a pc/laptop/mac lean more on the side of business, but can also be a gaming machine if you really want it to. Honestly I use the business side of my pc more than I use it to game so it still appeals to me more than the ipad.

One thing I do find surprising is Apple's lace of significant software additions. Now maybe the dictation i revolutionary in how good it is, but if not.......well I've had a dictation app on my ipod touch for a long time and it's not that exicting. Software, beyond anything has set Apple apart from it's competitors. So again it's surprising to see very little added in that regard.

Nope. Never bought an Apple product and never will. Also have to say, The New iPad is one of the worst names ever.

I'm not so sure this is over-priced tbh, which may be a first for Apple. It has a quad core processor, a very nice screen, a solid state hard drive, a 5mp camera, and probably the slickest OS (yes it's a factor) available on any tablet. All that for $500. I could get a laptop that has roughly the same features for a similar price. Did I really just type that?

Not me. I just brought an iPad 2 last week. And the higher screen resolution doesn't impress me much.

Think about it. Lets say you didn't have a computer of any kind, and your choice was a laptop or an iPad. You'd choose the laptop because it can do so much more than an iPad can. You have a full keyboard, full powered CPU, probably a 15 inch screen since that's what most cheap laptops are, at least 250 gigs of storage, and running a full operating system. It won't be as sexy as an iPad, but it will be far, far more useful to you.

There should've been an option that said "Hell NO!" Because that's how I feel towards any Apple product.

Nope because I don't have cash to burn.
