The Verge review is in:

The iPad continues to stand head and shoulders above the competition

Let's be clear: the new iPad is in a class by itself, just as its predecessor was. As the latest product in a lineage of devices that defined this category, the iPad continues to stand head and shoulders above the competition. With the addition of the Retina display, LTE, more memory, and a more powerful CPU, Apple has absolutely held onto the iPad's market position as the dominant player and product to beat.

But should you buy it?

I would imagine that the vast majority of people considering the new iPad fall into one of two categories: upgraders (people who already own a previous model or Android tablet), and new buyers.

For owners of the iPad 2, this isn't necessarily a slam dunk. While the updated features are a boon to the new iPad, it doesn't offer an experience that is significantly different from the previous version. If your screen never bothered you, and you never wanted a faster cellular connection or a better camera, there's not a great argument to upgrade (especially considering many of you just shelled out for a new tablet less than a year ago).

However, if you're in the market for your first tablet, or upgrading from the original iPad or an Android device, do not hesitate. The new iPad is the most functional, usable, and beautiful tablet that any company has ever produced.

I hope you're right, mine says out for delivery and I want to go out today! Hope it's not delivered today!

Must be the case, why would they sit on it for a week, then deliver it a day early, don't make sense.

 

[Sobtanian]

I sure doubt Syncreon are delivering it to me today. Yes, it's out for delivery on their page but Hinckley is 115 miles away :/

They're probably just delivering to local courier depot, as mentioned earlier.

Still, I'm at home all day sp if they do deliver I'm ready!!

 

[Cosimo]

Got my invoice and serial number

Same here, it came in just before I went out last night.

 

[Cosimo]

my iPad on the syncreon page says this, I bloody hope so:

15th March 2012 @ 07:08:41

OUT FOR DELIVERY

I've got @ 07:09:16.

My case delivery last Friday went to a depot at Greenford before it was delivered here so I don’t expect it before tomorrow. Famous last words.

While I do not think you'll get it today, people who preordered the iPhone or iPad last year (can't remember which) got it a day early for some reason.

Errr... are there any other types of people? lol.

I wondered about that as well.

I imagine 'out for delivery' is for the transition to UKmail, try using the number beginning with 8 in the 'reference number' box on the UKmail site. Mine is out for delivery too on Syncreon but awaiting collection on UKmail. My expected delivery is still of course, the 16th.

 

[picnic]

Technically yes, there are people who've bought a tablet previously but sold it. They therefore neither own one or are new buyers (I have of course defined a new buyer as one who's never bought one before, i.e. a virgin tablet buyer)

 

[ElliorR]

I've taken today off work just in case mine gets delivered a day early, as did my original iPad, and once the fog clears I shall get the bike out, change the oil & filter, adjust the throttle play and if they need it change the front pads.

Should keep me busy and not constantly looking out the window when a large sounding vehicle goes by (you know you'll all be doing that)

 

[ElliorR]

Well it looks like UPS have it or will have it soon™

 

[Hutchy]

Anyone managed to get their tracking number working with the TNT website yet?

Just always says not found.

Ha, even yesterday when there was 0 chance, I kept checking the parcel pile at work from afar.

I'm not expecting it to work until this evening. Until then best to try and get on with other things... I may even do some work this morning!

Same here

Same here

Well as long as it's not just me that's fine by me!

Same here too! Not impressed by TNT. First time I have had the (dis)pleasure of their service and they seem to be failing miserably on the tracking front!
