Expresso 03-16-2012 08:29 AM

I just came back from the Cambie Best Buy an hour ago, zero line ups. In fact it was empty!

Simplex123 03-16-2012 08:56 AM

I can't believe people actually lined up for this POS. It was available online everywhere and it comes out pretty much worldwide (you can't sell it in HK). Yet there were still about 30/40 people lined up outside RC at 12 last night. The guys at the front even brought a LCD to game on. :rukidding:

Yea the lines at Oakridge went pretty much to the sliding door this morning outside the Bay. Easily 100+ people lol.

anyone getting the 4g one? if so, what's the most reliable/fastest 4g network

Sky_High 03-16-2012 11:44 AM

Does anyone know why Hong Kong's not selling the 4G version?

They might not have the 4G/LTE network....but I thought the device is backward compliable with 3G...HSPA+, DC-HSDPA, etc and many other bands?

Yes the 4G is backwards compatible and will be coming soon (that's what it says on that little blue corner).

Sorry, didn't see that... went straight to the Store page hahah
So techinically speaking.....there iss a small market for bringing iPad's back to Asia to sell :accepted:

SkinnyPupp 03-16-2012 07:32 PM

The news in HK is that there is very little markup on these ipads compared to previous ones.

BTW make sure the 4G bands are the same. There is only one LTE carrier here right now, not sure what band they use.

Fuhrėr-Z 03-17-2012 09:43 AM

FS had 3 and 2 sitting side by side...I couldn't tell which was which until it was pointed out to me...
Best part about "the new ipad" is that the ipad 2 is now $420 (16/wifi), think I'll grab a couple of those instead...
Anyone pick up an apple tv yet?

MTV Cribs 03-17-2012 10:59 AM

I too was considering buying an iPad 2 at $419 but figure $100 for better screen, double the ram, and faster processor would be worth it.

Processor speed in the new iPad is the same as the iPad2
The A5X speed only bumps graphic to QuadCore. The CPU is still the DuoCore found in iPad 2

Hardcore 03-17-2012 01:45 PM

Quad core is the shiiiieeeett

Need a new case for the new ipad. Looking for a leahter case that can be use to stand the ipad...... got a cheap one from crystal mall and is ugly as hell lol

Acura604 03-17-2012 05:38 PM

meh.. gonna give it another day but might return my ipad 3 and just hang onto my ipad 2 till next release.

LiquidTurbo 03-17-2012 08:05 PM

iPad2 is still a very good tablet. Played with the new iPad, while the screen is nice, I don't think it's enough to warrant an upgrade. The demo unit was also crazy hot.

Sky_High 03-17-2012 09:14 PM

Saw this on my newsfeed :rukidding:
