It's only been out 2 days! The screen is the most obvious initial 'wow' thing, in time when Apps are produced that can utilize the power etc I'm sure people will appreciate the upgrade even more.
I've come from an iPad 1, which could only output tiny files when editing a photo direct in...
I use mine probably in the region of 2hrs every single day, £200 seems pretty good value when I look at it like that. Plus, having a much better screen (and more processing power) will make a huge difference to photo editing, which I do an awful lot of on my iPad. As justification goes it comes...
Personally yes, significant difference, particularly with text. It's also much, much better for photo viewing / editing. I've just had a good look through a bunch of my Motorsport shots and it really does highlight the slightest flaws, I'm going to have less keepers as it will make me far more...
Picked mine up this morning, rocked up to the UPS branch at 8am (opening time) to find nobody there, phoned customer services who ended up putting me onto the Regional Manager or something (who was livid!)...eventually at 9:30 the woman arrives to open up. Considering I had driven 40 miles there...
Mine is sat in a UPS Warehouse in Avonmouth tonight, if they want to play with one :( Phoned them to see if I could collect it to tomorrow and they seemed a bit unsure, but assured me it would be open. I better not be wasting 60 miles worth of petrol!
My order on the Apple site has updated with a proper UPS tracking number which works on their website. Of no interest to me as I won't be in for the delivery anyway, will be doing a 60 mile round trip to the Depot on Saturday morning to collect it!
The warranty is direct with GAME (i.e. they don't use a third party), if they disappear you don't stand a chance to be honest (you will be very near the bottom of an extremely long list of creditors, that will also include anyone with vouchers etc). They offered me a 2 year warranty when I...
My memory is working well, just found a pic I took 6 years ago (February 2006, parked next to my old Cup)!
and a few months later, the lad was from Bournemouth iirc...
The majority are fine, a few soft ones but given we can only imagine the conditions you had to contend with they are fantastic overall. The best bit is you seem to have a brilliant, detailed account of the whole trip in photos, but also a good number of absolute gems as well.
I'm personally...
Possibly hot pixels, my attempts were littered with the things (blue and red dots). I never experienced it with any of my Nikon cameras but my Olympus (and now Canon) were susceptible to them.
As I'm iPad-less at the moment I've rediscovered my PC. Currently working through Half-Life 2 (what a game!) and Sim City 4 again...must be the 20th time I've started from scratch on SC4, never gets boring.
Can't wait for this, will probably need to build a new PC for it though.
I need to change the delivery address on mine (holiday request: rejected!), bit nervous that it may put me to the back of the queue again, as it tends to do on some websites if you amend your order.
After a quick Google it appears you're far from the only one. Annoying given they still haven't sold out for release date deliveries in the US. Here's a sample...http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/09/apple-pushing-back-initial-ipad-orders-in-uk-as-shipments-to-us-customers-begin/
Are the Smart Covers worth buying? Tempted to pick one up tomorrow in anticipation of my iPad arriving next week. I can't quite work out how they actually connect to the iPad.
I felt a bit dirty in Gamestation today, it was like a stealing a wallet from a dying man. There were people in the store with long lists of games to look for, a load of the shelves were empty and they had hardly any new stock.
Great stuff. Much better reading it like this than looking at your Flickr pics (when you don't know what's going on 50 pictures of icebergs quickly merge into one!), keep the updates coming!
Any ideas what the tour was called or if any UK companies offer it up for us mere mortals? I'm guessing...
I see they've run out of the launch allocation already (now you can pre-order for deliveries 'after March 18th'), will be interesting to know what the take-up is as I'm sure there are a lot of people like myself who only upgrade every other time.
It rounds off quite nicely in the corners, it doesn't actually fully wrap over (back and front are separate)

Pretty much, very very good for what they are though. It stayed completely stuck down for 18 months of daily use, travelled around the world, had a cat that frequently liked sitting on it etc! No tatty edges or anything. When I sold it I just pealed it straight off, the actual iPad shell...
