iPad now?...or wait?

Phate · 22 Dec 2010 at 12:09

Hai guyz,

So, the same old apple question...now or wait?

After using my bosses one the other day I'm itching to get one...but any ideas when its due to be replaced?

I don't have any real problems waiting as I don't have a major need for one...but it certainly would be a 'nice to have'

So....is it due soon? Any ideas peeps?

Cheers,
Jake

I thought that they talked about a replacement around April time.

I'd wait - look how much better the second version of the iphone was to the first. Apart from anything else, the ipad 2 should have a camera, which would be nice.

I'd be more interested in a retina display tbh

Hmm I'll have a dig around the rumour mill!

Just ask yourself if it never had an apple logo on the back, would you still want one?

Yep....got sod all to do with it being made by apple. I've used one, and for a fair bit over the weekend. I want one

I'm not really bothered about USB, HDMI or any other ports to be honest...I just love the screen and the OS on it.

Shall wait it out if its due to be as soon as that then

Cheers all,

The iPad almost definitely won't have a retina screen, it may be of better quality but the resolution will be the same. Or so I've read. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. Not bothered about camera or other rumoured additions.

Why almost definately?

Their other devices have them? why not the iPad?

Or if its due to cost, then they could release 2 models, one with and one without retina.

I'm waiting for the new iPad before picking one up, although if they reduce the size of the screen then I will be waiting until someone from here sticks theirs on the MM

I can't see them reducing the size...current size is perfect!

I'd feel a touch conned if I bought the iPad now. There's no excuse for it having half the RAM of the little iPhone4.

Err yes there is.

One was released before the other

Yeah I've decided that if I get this new contract I'm going to treat myself

Need to order some other bits from Apple too so will do those at the same time.

Been offered a 16gb + 3G for £500...if I get the new contract. Think I'm going to have it. It's brand new, unwanted gift...

That looks snazzy.

What do people feel about the size of the iPad? Is 16gb too small? is it worth getting the 32gb?

Depends what your using it for?

My iPhone 4 is 16gb, I have 2000 photos on there and my music, along with apps (not many) I have 4gb free
