So if you were to put it in a make do silicone skin for now would you say buy an ipad 1 or 2 skin? The screen protectors I presume will be the same as the ipad 2?

Definately a 2 skin. The 1 is a slightly different profile, not as curved. My folio from my 2 fitted the 3 ok but its a very slightly tighter fit.

One sec...

It that all, has the screen has a liquid resistant coating?

 

[Pug]

wow the screen really is sublime, looks significantly better

 

[Phonesis]

For those with one already who owned the iPad 2, is it noticeably heavier and thicker? I'm hoping the extra weight and thickness can barely be detected.

I can confirm that the screen is excellent, and very sturdy.

Mine arrived at 10:30 this morning..sods law while I was on the loo!! Absolutely loving the screen so far, but need to get a better screen protector than the free one that came with the cheap case I bought on eBay. I can confirm that it fits in an iPad 2 hardback case though which makes life easier.

It's such an amazing improvement over the iPad 1 I've upgraded from..everything feels so much snappier!

Is it worth getting the 4g 16gb or just the wifi I have tethering on my phone anyway! Ideally I'd want more storage but can't afford it! And I'm hoping for a big change from iPad one

The thickness not so much but I do notice the extra 50g in weight, it feels heavier than the iPad 2. It's probably something I'll get use to though as I thought the iPad 2 was heavy when I got it.

I haven't noticed the weight or the thickness.

 

[scudstrike]

you thought the ipad 2 was heavy? what do you expect the tablet to be? wafer thin and cloud like weight? You have really high expectations mate but not necessarily always a bad thing...

32gb wifi is cheaper than 16gb 4g

Sounds to me like space is more of a priority for you. I personally went 32gb wi-fi, I know I rarely ever need internet connectivity outdoors. If I do, I'll tether.

Courier coming to collect it and have to order a new one, joke!

 

[churchhawk]

Got mine, screen is simply amazing, just downlaoding some HD games now

 

[scudstrike]

[Doohickey]

lol there you go people...now everyone else can get a whiff of the ipad. It's seriously strange, almost like an addiction or a drug. Clever Apple!
