** Apple Media Event - March 7th **

[Marky]

Interestingly it isn't called the iPad 3, it's just called the iPad again now...

I think that's a good move - especially for the future...

Who wants to be ordering an "iPad 10"

 

[Marky]

Autodesk! Now I'm interested

 

[Marky]

Available on the 16th. Is that when they ship pre-orders or does one expect a long wait?

Normally you get them delivered on the day of release.

White for girls, black for boys generally.

Say what now? I choose white over black any day...

 

[Marky]

Infinity Blade... YAWN...

They use that every single time... so bored of it

 

[Marky]

Ahhhh 16gb or 32gb I can't decide

I would go with 32GB personally... 16GB wasn't enough for my iPhone

 

[Marky]

More memory than Xbox 360... so 1gb RAM??

I think that's a relatively good guess

 

[Marky]

Garageband with iCloud is an awesome little addition

 

[Marky]

I think that a 32GB Wi-Fi will be sufficient for me.

Same for me

Anyone still holding out hope for a Haptic Feedback feature?

 

[Marky]

Is it too early to constantly refresh the apple store website?

Yes. They won't be opening it back up until after the conference.

 

[Marky]

That 19MP limit smells of being memory limited to me...

Do you really need more than 19MP?

 

[Marky]

Do I? No.

Do people with >19MP cameras who do it for a living?

Yes.

People who use >19MP cameras that do it for a living won't be using iPhoto on an iPad

 

[Marky]

That isn't up to us to decide tho, is it?

Well let me tell you - if I was hiring a professional photographer, and found he was using iPhoto on an iPad to edit my photos - He'd be out of the door so fast the iPad would be stuck in mid-air for a bit like the cartoons

 

[Marky]

Obviously, but this thing is awesome for some quick retouches of holiday pics before bed when on holiday somewhere

Totally agree, it's an awesome little app My point was that a 19MP limit isn't going to be a problem for these holiday snaps

 

[Marky]

"We have something you have to see. And touch"

Hmm where was the 'and touch' part? Why the emphasis...?

I'm still holding on to hope for Haptic Feedback...

 

[Marky]

Confirmed - 2 core CPU, 4 core GPU.

Really? I just saw on Engadget that the A5X is quad-core... Confuzzled.

 

[Marky]

And it's done... No haptic feedback

 

[Marky]

And so the F5ing begins at the Apple Store

 

[Marky]

Does anyone have any intelligent guesses on when it will be available to preorder

As soon as the store is up - Probably within 30 minutes or so

 

[Marky]

I'm confused, what is this new model called? Its certainly not iPad3, isn't there already a 1 and 2. Huh?

Just going to be call iPad. Just like Macbook Pros don't have numbers to define their revisions. It'll probably be referred to as iPad (Early 2012), like other Mac devices.

 

[Marky]

It'll be like that for the next 10 minutes probably.
