...and the screen is just amazing!!

Upgrading from an iPad1 this is unbelievable, much faster and I can't explain how crisp and sharp the screen is.

Just wish my new AppleTV had been delivered at the same time

I picked one up in Comet on the way home. The assistant didn't even know they were out today! Haven't tried it yet as it's a present for her indoors.

When you switch it on, go to YouTube and search for HD Video

Watch the video of the Porsche being driven around a track, unbelievable!!!

Nice I ordered mine 3hrs after it went up on apple's site in the UK, delivery expected Monday.

We were going to head out at stupid o'clock this morning and queue for my bro, but decided against it.

Spoke to apple cardiff earlier, and the business woman said it would be approx 4 week delay if we were to order on line now due to the number of orders. I can see there being quite a shortage after this weekend tbh.

Glad it came.

Can you upload a picture please , want to see the quality of thr new camera

The geek inside tells me to get one

I have both the new iPad and the iPad 2 in front of me side be side. Whilst the screen is an improvement, lets not exaggerate, it's hardly earth shatteringly amazing. In fact there is hardly any difference in HD playback between the two on 720p or 1080p videos.

Hanley

If you read my original post, Im upgrading from the original iPad.

I've compared it to mt wife's iPad2 and I can tell the difference in the quality of the screen.

I'll take a picture with it later, the wife has it at the moment and I'm snot sure I'll be getting it back

Walked into MK Apple store, no queue, all available. I stuck to plan and picked up an Apple TV. Freinds bought two each.

I've reserved a 32gb one at my local currys 'just in case' and off to have a look at the one on display to have a play and compare against my ipad1.

Well from iPad to new iPad it is a worthwhile upgrade. but from iPad 2 I would save your money. iPad 2's are now from £329 which represents much better value. Samsung Galaxy 10.1 are still £399.

Hanley

I totally agree

ChefDude

I love it!!!

Maps! Comics! Books! Documents! All readable on iPad before, but it's just like print now!!

Cameras not as good as the 4S but better exposure control than the 4.

Absolutely brilliant

JackClark

That's a shame about the camera, I thought it was the same.

ChefDude

Even I will think twice before holding up an iPad to take a picture! that's just dirty.

Picked mine up, incredible you could just walk into a Currys/PCWorld and pick one up when you have people queuing at the Apple stores.

just snagged two from curry's cardiff . Well impressed with their small apple setup there

also two apple tv's

thats it for my investment in apple shares this year ... hehe

JackClark

Loving my Apple TV. Linked to the iPad it's magical.

Disclaimer: It's not really magic.

Need a new TV though, 720p only.

Missed the delivery
Hoping I can collect from the depot tomorrow otherwise it's Monday

Had a look today. That is a really nice display, I'm impressed. Not quite as good as a good eInk screen but very close. And of course backlit and colour.

Kindle app has just been updated for the display and books look excellent.

Didn't think the camera was that good either. It's a nice to have for sure but not at all special.

So defo. a good upgrade from iPad1 but not enough for me to upgrade from an iPad2.

Apple Store said there was a small queue this morning but otherwise had been quiet. They had plenty of stock as well.

ChefDude

it will be my main 'reader' device now - i've been waiting for this screen

Don't you find it too heavy to read? Obviously okay if it is propped up, but otherwise I find it a little painful.

JackClark

Rolled up smart cover makes it quite comfortable, still needs two hands though.

Shame they couldn't con ITV out of the name iTV like they did with iPad and Proview

Hanley

From what I've read ITV are seemingly ready to hold out their hands and take Apple's money!!

I'd love mine if iTunes would let me sync. Locks up every time with the pad and the iPhone 4. Not happy!

iTunes 10.6

Ant

Some reviews I've seen are saying the speed between the iPad 2 vs ipad3 is hardly noticeable.

Ant

You have updated to latest iTunes haven't you?
