Sorry, but he can't provide you links to things that help you to infringe copyright, he might be extradited for that. hehe

I'd also quite like a smaller version that is easier to type on (without having to put the iPad down to type fast)
You can pull the keyboard up so it splits the keyboard in 2 and is by each thumb.

Does that make it easier for you?

Yes i know about that, and yes it's useful. But it's still to big to type on quickly. I can type faster on my iPhone!

It would be better if it was slightly smaller i think. But who knows, maybe they have plans for a smaller one smile

Have to say the screen is just amazing, well worth the upgrade from the iPad 2.

So as someone who has a Macbook and a colour e-reader, which is worth getting? ipad 2 or the new version? I just want something to browse the web, Skype on and watch video/look at pics on - is the new ipad worth the extra cash? seems to be a big jump in price. Is the new screen that good?

Screen is crystal clear the best screen I have in the house bar none.
VFM is a personal decision. A decent laptop is around the same price, but I have a laptop
The iPad is a nice addition and so far a pleasure to use.

iPad 2 IMO, it really is a bargain now.

I bought one in September last year and it is excellent, the screen is great and it is very quick for browsing. Battery is very good also.

I have a third gen iPod Touch and I've always thought it had a great screen.

Just been using it now after a day using the new iPad and it looks like a kids vetch toy ...

After reading through this thread I am still happy with my 3GS and Ipad 1, they do what I want to do, they are not broke. Yes I would like a faster Ipad but having to wait a couple more seconds for a website to open it better then spending 500 + on a new Ipad smile

Coming from someone that has just about every Apple product in my house I was a little disappointed when I played on one yesterday in the Apple store.

The screen is undoubtedly better but I use my iPad 2 almost exclusively for web browsing so the benefits for me were marginal. It's a shame because I really wanted to walk out with one!

Photos on it looked absolutely stunning, however.

Anyone noticed it getting "warm" in use? Tech Radar seemed uite concerned about it.

Must admit I thought I would finally be opting for one, when the new screen was available - for writing music on the go, android tablets are fairly limited and quirky and there are far more pro-quality music apps for ipad. I figured the new screen would make it irresistible but (and I hope to see one later today) it doesn't seem like a deal maker for many I thought it might.

I'm being given an iPad3 by my employer as a gift. I couldn't give a st about how much it costs, all i know is it would never ever be something i would buy with my own money. I'm sure I will find it useful on occasion.

Give it a month. You won't be able to put the thing down.
