I dont use my iPad 2 enough to justify the upgrade, and yes the screen will be epic!

Would be nice if we had a "Just one more thing" finale

Re: iPad 3 - March 7th.

Is it worth Pre ordering? Will they actually sell out?

Order today, you'll get one on release day.

Order tomorrow, you'll have to wait weeks.

Re: iPad 3 - March 7th.

Release date?

 

[Knuckles]

March 16th isn't it?

And will the Pre order work from the American site?

 

[Adam]

Pre-order is totally offline lol

 

[Revels]

No. UK Store.

 

[ukaskew]

Sold iPad 1, money sat in account ready for 'New iPad'...come on pre-order website!

 

[VeinAST]

Re: iPad 3 - March 7th.

$100 wasn't it?

Yeah but surely that will translate. They can't just do a £60 drop here!

 

[C.J]

Money ready for 2 iPads. Waiting for the store to go live.

The retina alone is worth the upgrade from my iPad 2s.

Any mention of an upgraded front camera?

iPad 2 is down to £329, on the Apple UK site now.

Selling my iPad 1 for £230 a few weeks ago is looking like a bit of a result now, if only Renault could manage that sort of depreciation...

 

[jenic]

lol, store isn't back up yet, it tells you it's 329 on the ipad pages...

 

[C.J]

FFS let me on.

 

[JaseCat]

It's up!

[Curley]

It's thicker and heavier.

 

[Adam]

Yep

 

[ukaskew]

No luck here yet.

 

[Addicted]

It doesn't make much sense to me, they've gone for a real nice screen, yet still on the same storage. Have fun storing any HD stuff.
