There better not be any wiseguy thieves trying making clay tablet iPad 3's to rip off stores. It's sick to hear what some people will do when they're greedy.

I just checked out the new iPad in a store, at least I think I did. I couldn't tell at all, except it heavier*. Though that could have been in my head, I am pretty sure it was the new one. You can't really notice a difference unless you stare at it really close. But as more apps make use of the higher resolution, that has to change.
*They had this cheap matte screen protector installed on it, which is certainly why I couldn't tell the difference immediately. I never understood why someone would want to ruin their awesome display with a screen protector, and that is especially the case here. Posted via RS Mobile | |

The screen protector always degrade the quality of the screen, especially those $5 for 2 film from china. I also checked out the new iPad at "Ultimate" in HK. The new iPad is slightly heavier, the weight just like an iPad2 with a smart cover, hands get tired easily compared to my TF201. They are showing a demo with some so-call super HD video, it is sick and smooth. I'd buy one if I had a iPad1.

Considering how tough the glass is, putting a screen protector on the surface is just dumb.
I could instantly notice the heavier iPad, not so much the thickness. However the big differencne I could notice is the heat, the model was so warm. My iPad 2 never gets that warm.

Since my 6years old will use it once a while I don't feel confortable with him using it with no screen protector........

^ My kids have been using my iPads and iPhones for the last couple years and they've held up very well. I'm more concerned about them dropping them onto a tile floor than scratching the screen (which is why they have cases).

Walked into rc apple store and picked one up today at around 2.30pm (still had quite a few at the back according to the guy that served me). After spending 2+ hours with it I got a stinky feeling I might return it. Was expecting to be completely blow away like the transition from ip3->ip4 but was not. To make matters worse its heavier and gets hot a lot quicker. Guess I'll stick with my 1/2 till 4 comes out.

Why would you expect to be blown away? It's basically the same thing with a higher DPI screen, which at the viewing distance of a tablet, means quite little...

"blown away" lol. The only way that could happen if it was half as thin as the iPad 2.

Mr. Resident Bullshitter is claiming their is no mark up since "everywhere" still has stock. Not saying that theirs a HUGE HUGE market but mark-ups are there(regardless if it's $1 CAD or 3000+ RMB)and you will earn profit in China but is it worth the time?
If I had a flight back to China within 24hr of release date, I'd bring back a few iPad 3's with me, why not? I'm 100% sure I'd get more than what I paid for it and I was going back anyways, no extra effort or cost.

there would be no way you'd get more than what you paid for. it cost at least $4500HKD to buy the cheapest ipad in canada, and the buy back price for a 16GB Wifi is at best at $3900.
yea, losing $600 per unit is great profit!  | |

and the exchange rate is more near 1:6.4
I'm not sure how to use this TaoBao website...but you're looking at least $3750+ RMB as your raw cost.
