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

Just popped out to my local electrical retailer in my lunch hour and walked out 10 minutes later with a 32GB Black iPad.

They had plenty of stock, not sure why the fuss about pre-orders.
Because normally they don't have plenty of stock?
cant wait to get home and use my first apple, is it charged for use out of the box?
Yup, don't think its fully charged but its like 80% at least

This post is done with the speech to text thingy

Obviously nobody really knew how much stock shots would have because it would iPad 2 there was next to nothing but there's also a lot of fun to be had with the pre-order and then waiting and waiting to delivery.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog

She sells sea shells on the sea shore

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

This speech to text Abbeyfeale EBG is not bad

This iPad Busfield noticeably heavier than the iPad 2 and it only barely noticeably but heavier nonetheless bunch of used

I hope there's a way of training the speech to text thingamajig Catoosa not constantly perfectly

Sort everything else this speech to text thing is great fun

The zombie Steve jobs would like this iPAQ

Okay I'm bored of doing this now

:p

nice work
 
just checked my ipad 3 retina sh....t

got 2 dead pixels so returning and ordered new one

very bad start apple very bad i have to say
 
Definitely laggier than the iPad 2 but who cares with a screen as good as this

Keep telling yourself that ;)

People will definitely care, after all people used the speed increase from a 1 to 2 to justify the upgrade. They haven't done a very good job in my opinion if it's slower than the ipad 2. :(

I agree it's slightly disappointing but hopefully it's hardly noticeable and/or something that doesn't affect all units.
 
Anyone recommend something to show off the new display? I notice most of the magazines etc. in newsstand seem to be actually stored images like a png or something instead of a scalable file? Does this mean newspapers will have to release 'retina' editions of their publications? I can see a lot of pixellation around text in the Wired mag.

I bought a 4S on release and ending up returning it, getting sucked into first day buying hype. :D

I ordered this ipad but thought I'd step back for a week or 3 to see how it pans out and wait for some cases. Regardless if the screen is awesome I barely game on mine and I'd rather it was atleast as snappy as the ipad 2 or I might as well buy an ipad 2 refurb and wait to see what next year brings :(

Hopefully as more users test it I will get some idea of how sluggish it is in comparison. I also want to see some screen bleed pictures tonight when it's dark :D
 
I have to say, the first thing I noticed is the weight. It doesn't look much on paper but it feels quite a bit heavier in my hands than the iPad 2.

The screen is sublime, however.
 
Also just noticed a small chip in the aluminium on the top corner near the power button. I haven't done it so it must have been there when it arrived. Looks in worse condition than my 11 month old iPad 2!

Not sure whether to take it to Apple and have it swapped for another.
