^^ thew new transformer or whatever it is has like 1920x1200 (or was it 1080p) close enough

heck the 4S wasn't even the first device with such a high ppi -_-


sigh ifans i should know to stay out of their threads

Just another way to suck money from apple fanboys that will buy everything apple makes.

Sweet, gonna flip a few iPads and keep one for myself (well, primarily for my parents).
Sold my galaxy tab 10.1 awhile ago. Not sure why the fuck I bought it in the first place...decent tablet but UI sucked and lags even after flashing a custom ROM.

Played around with my bro's iPad 2 for about two weeks and I would definitely prefer an iPad based on my (and my parents') usage. Personally, UI responsiveness is a HUGE deal and I can't stand laggy UIs. For Android products, I'll stick to phones only for the time being.

Also, do we really need to have condescending 'apple fanboys' comments in an iPad thread?

pre-orders all sold out. ship date delayed to march 19. slaves at foxconn hurry up. :swear:

^ that's theoretically only a day late from the Friday launch.
Couriers do not usually make residential deliveries on weekend.

Hrmm white or black.

And yah, a shortage predicted. What to do? Keep 1 sell 1 or sell both.

:accepted:

i just went with dx stuff....hehe

me too and still no tracking number from UPS :rukidding:

i dunno when i play around with my moms ipad2 i find it fairly unresponsive at times and i dont get it since it doesnt multitask... maybe i was expecting something spectacular due to all the praise ppl give it but after some use im thinking "wtf is wrong with ppl... its just like any other os/device"

The ipad is artificially 'smooth' since it has a whole thread dedicated to scrolling and effects. But as soon as you try to multitask with it, or try doing something quickly (like you would do with work) it turns into a clunky POS.

Woot, Apple TV shipped!!!

my ipad shipped... getting it friday. :happyalone: time to sell to rich fobs who won't be bothered to line up and don't like to use credit card because they are "low income"

I hope the next iPhone have Quadcore xD

^ Nope. Most likely it'll be a dual core A15 with Macroscalar. And it should perform better than a quad core anyway.

There are some iPad benchmarks leaking out, but nothing official so comparisons are going to be difficult until reviewers get their hands on them Friday. The processor should post similar numbers since it's clocked the same as the iPad 2. However, there appears to be 1GB RAM in this version. The GPU will be the one to watch.

Mine should be here on Friday as well.

To JB the iPad or not to JB the iPad. :considered:

Problem Solved.

What do you mean 'do something quickly'? That's a vague as hell statement.

iPad 1 was slow, iPad 2 and obviously the new iPad are quite snappy.

Well, if you're going to post something from The Verge at least post a link to their complete review.

The Verge - iPad Review

They gave it a 9.3 out of 10. The very last sentence of the review:

Like switching back and forth between apps. Every time I try to be productive with it, it ends up being frustrating. For instance I was helping someone proofread a presentation, so I was switching between the pdf file and the email. Every time I switched to the pdf, it would have to load the whole file over again. So that's like 5 seconds of lag for every app switch. Same thing happened to me while trying to switch between a stopwatch app and data entry.

The extra ram will help for sure. This stuff would have been literally impossible with the first iPad. The second can do it, but not productively. The third might be "better" due to finally having enough memory, but the fact is that the os is not intended for productivity, it's made to goof around with $1 apps.

^ Just tried that with my 4S with a 300 page technical PDF (graphically intensive) and e-mail and my switch times are about 0.5 seconds.
