Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Sweet mother and ____ing lord! I honestly wasn't expecting to be too impressed with the screen. I thought it would be something that unless you held up next to the ipad2 you wouldn't notice. ____ a duck was I wrong. I'm actually blown away by this screen.

My quick first impressions is that the outside of the screen I can't tell too much difference. The size and weight difference can't really be felt and it really doesn't seem any faster. The screen is totally worth the upgrade though if you like to watch movies and if you're looking for the next best thing in visual technology. About to play around with the camera now.

Yeah, this screen is pretty darn clear. Getting ready to sync with my Mac in a second.

I'm still backing up my two. I hate this process. Some people are posting on macrumors that the iPad is a touch slower than the 2 when loading things. Very interesting if that's true.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Its backing up right now from an IPhone back up so it brings a few of those things over. Not sure if that was the best thing to do but figured it was the easiest place to start.

I'm reading reports of backlight bleeding again on the new iPad....anyone here confirm this?

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Well, I didn't have a chance to play with mine before I had to come into the office.

UPS guy came by while I was still asleep around 10:00 or so. Luckily, the knocking woke me up and was able to sign for it before he took off.

The initial set up took longer than I planned and I had to leave for work before checking it out.

For those who have played with it, how's the dictation feature working out?

Honestly my 2 has minor bleeding just like any other device. I find with anything apple you have people that immediately get one and scrutinize every part. These cats sit in a dark room, turn the device on a black screen, and pump the damn brightness up to 100. I never understood what that actually proves?

Do that to most LCD hdtvs and report back.

Gonna put this here 'cause it seems to be a good a place as any for it: https://www.businessinsider.com/thi...amning-episode-about-apple-and-foxconn-2012-3

Turns out that dude who does the "Ecstasy and Agony of Steve Jobs" show is a lying POS.

Haha, that is true. I'm reading about it on macrumors, I think they just blow these things out of proportion.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Thinking of picking up one of these new iPads. I love the tactile feedback of a keyboard though. Would I be able to hook one up? I do tons of writing for school and work. Maybe I'd be better off waiting for a Retina display on a Macbook... Decisions, decisions

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Yes the screen alone is pretty much worth the update. It's crazy how clear this thing is. I can't wait to spend more time with it right now I'm enjoying it.

Above typed verbally through the new dictation feature.

But then people have to find the minuscule things to hate on Apple about. Hopefully you all get your iPads 100% working and in super sexy condition.

For reals? Damn, need to get back home and play with it.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

If anyone wants a good tech demo check out the sky gamblers game. It's a real beauty. Everything with mine seems perfect. I only have one concern and thats how hot this thing gets. Mine is pretty darn hot to the touch after playing that game for only a few minutes.

It could also be that I have ghost armor on my 2 on the back and just never noticed that before.
