*** The Official iPad (Early 2012) Thread ***

imagine it was as easy as jailbreakme ;)

i still cant believe how good that jailbreak was

i think im going to get one, wife said she would get me one

how much are we looking at for UK prices? simple US conversion ?

Oh man that was the perfect jailbreak :p Any jailbreak that can be done over mobile networks is genius :p
 
Got to be honest, this is the first time ever that i've been tempted by an Apple product, the leap in hardware is insane and has left Andriod tablets eating dust. It'll be a 12 months before they release anything that could even challange it.
 
Can't be bothered to wait for Win 8 tablet so I am getting new Ipad in the meantime, how and from where can I pre order one?

Is apple online store open from certain time?
 
Anyone buying a new iPad might as well just pickup the iPad 2, iPad 3 doesn't have a noticeable different running todays standard apps with its new processor so its a complete waste of money.

Even if they launched something Hardware comparable, Android always runs worse spec for spec i find for one, and two there's still no comparison to the iTunes and App Store integration

Every time Apple launch something new, you say the same thing.

Always. It's boring now.

If you don't think that the screen is much of a difference then you must be blind.

A massive yawn towards you sir. Don't you say something like this every year?

Im just saying that the Screen on the iPad 2 is still perfectly good enough...Even the iPad 1 has a decent screen for viewing pictures and gaming....

As for the new Processor in the iPad 3, Don't even get me started on that. The annoying thing is that Apps of the iPhone and iPad DONT REQUIRE a lot of processing power anyway, its like with these new chips they are total OVERKILL, The Iphone 4 processor makes even the newest apps open up in seconds and runs games perfectly smooth. its just a total overkill..Yes maybe in a year or two when some Apps require a duel core processor to run them then this is needed but right now? no way
 
I'm just annoyed that the UK won't be getting 4G LTE for a while, we probably won't have it publically available before the iPad 4 :( So although the new screen and what not looks amazing and I really want the iPad 3 to be my first iPad, i'll feel like I wasted part of the £400/500 that i've spent as I can't use all the features.

If you don't advance the hardware, you don't develop for it.
 
I have to admit though the ipad 2 with the price drop makes it more of a question over whether I bother with an upgrade this time around or take advantage of what will be excellent prices in the refurb store.

For example picking up a refurb 16 for £270 or a new 16 for £399 would make me think harder about whether the screen res is worth that extra money to me :)

I wasn't expecting the new price of the 2 to drop that low.

This isn't even worth writing a proper response to. You know you're wrong and are just upset you can't afford/aren't allowed an up to date product which is clearly superior in every possible way.

You don't know what you're talking about at all with the processing power. And regarding the retina display - I urge you to take a look at it before making any judgement. This is going to be an absolutely amazing display to read books, watch movies and generally surf the net on.

No, I don't think you even know how to come back to that as I have clearly stated and highlighted the main clear points and thats just the truth to it. I know its hard for some of you to accept when you use your currently iPad 2's and think "Wow, I must have the newest and most up to date version of this" That you just ignore whats right in front of you and buy it.

Just look what I said about the 4S when that came out and the amount of people I told NOT to upgrade as you won't see a difference in performance. 99% REPLIED back saying that they didn't see the point of upgrading as they didn't see a difference, so I was right all along.
 
I wonder when we'll be able to pre-order this through network providors. I also found it interesing how they advertised the 4G LTE feature and had the UK flag? I thought we weren't getting 4G till at least 2013?
 
I think im going to get one, looks a nice bit of kit, feel sorry for those with ipad2's who now want to upgrade.

Second hand value for a 16gb wi fi with no warranty or little, must be £220 ish now.

If you got rid of one for £280 ish in last week, well done
