naamanf Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Anyone have a Portenzo case? I really like the feature that routes the sound out the front
blessingx Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Posted March 21, 2012 Anyone compare the Portenzo to the DODOcase? They look pretty similar.
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I don't really push the iPad too hard, so it's never gotten warmer than when off. Same with my iPad 2 (now my wife's).
Knuckledragger Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 You guys buying iPad 3s are suckers, check out this deal: Seource.
The Monkey Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 You guys don't seem excited enough about the display.
VPI Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 What would you like us to be doing to show our excitement. It is dramatically better than anything else available. A big step up from the 2.
jvlgato Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 It's like when I got an HDTV. But for me, the speed improvement of more RAM and a faster processor (from the 1) has had a more dramatic effect.
grawk Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 the resolution of the screen is great. So is everything else about it. Coming from an ipad 1, I'm very happy.
morphsci Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I played with one for a while today and I will be keeping the 2 until the 4 is released.
justin Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I was in line at Staples yesterday when I saw the tablets on display. "Staples sells the iPad now?," I thought. Then I got up close and turns out it was the Samsung Galaxy
HDen Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 http://www.baldursgate.com/news/2012/03/21/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-for-ipad-3/ Something to look forward to
Bigguy Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 I went to the apple store to check out the new ipad. Took my good for nothing son with me. He bought the 64 wifi iPad and all i got was the opportunity to drive him there. I should have my medical bills paid off in time for the iPad 4.
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Well, after a week with the 3rd Gen iPad I still think the iPad 2 is great, and moving up to the 3rd Gen isn't such a huge move, although I still like it a lot. It was a great 50th birthday present. We have HSPDA+ here but not LTE, so I'm not seeing any data speed increases. If anything, I get 1-2 bars of 3G signal where the iPad 2 gets 3-4 bars. And while the screen is nicer there is really nothing wrong with the screen on the earlier models. I thought the step up from the original iPad to the iPad 2 was bigger at the time, as there was a noticeable improvement in thickness/weight and speed, along with the addition of the camera for FaceTime (never really used it for photos). The iPad 3 camera is a bit nicer, but I still find myself grabbing my iPhone 4S for photos more. My wife got my iPad 2 and she offered her old 64GB AT&T iPad 1 to our daughter to take to college, but she'd rather sell it to get a new Macbook Pro to replace her old white Macbook. That probably makes the most sense, but I'd even be happy with the original iPad than no iPad at all, since I find the iPhone screen too hard to read with web sites (using 50 year old eyes). So all you guys with older iPads, don't feel bad because you still have a great product.
shellylh Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 But can you use the ipad2 as a seat warmer?
blessingx Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Posted March 27, 2012 Apple Has 163 Reasons To Release Fabled 'iPad mini' http://j.mp/HcIFK6 Because of my situation (newborn) I'm likely skipping the new iPad - rarely have both hands free - but I'd probably be all over this.
n_maher Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Because of my situation (newborn) I'm likely skipping the new iPad - rarely have both hands free - but I'd probably be all over this. Actually, I found the iPad to be the perfect midnight companion while dealing with he-who-doesn't-sleep. With the smart cover I'd simply have the iPad sitting on a pillow next to me on the low incline and I could manipulate it with one hand while feeding jr or just letting him rest on me. He and I probably watched 4 or 5 Top Gear series among other things over last summer when thnigs were really bad (from a sleep perspective). It would have been impossible to do the same with a laptop and the TV produces way too much light/distraction to have on. [edit]your link doesn't work for me but that could be my fault.

Really amazing review! I love how these guys go into sooo much more depth than any other reviewers out there who rehash the same stuff over and over again. Arstechnica used to be the same way but they've gotten pretty sloppy/generic with their reviews lately. To me the most interesting part was the whole 5-10 pages of CPU / GPU discussion and how it compares to other tablets out there.
TMoney Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 To me the most interesting part was the whole 5-10 pages of CPU / GPU discussion and how it compares to other tablets out there. Totally agreed. Because they know the hardware and the state of the hardware industry they can be so much more informative about both what is inside the tablet and also about whats coming down the pipeline in the next 6/12/18 months. Now if only Apple would send them advance review units like they do for everyone else, they might be able to turn around the review a little sooner. I can't see why Apple wouldn't. Apple's products tend to be very well engineered and the Anandtech reviews call attention to that.
monsieurguzel Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Apple only gives these things out a week before the they lift the NDA which means the Anandtech review wouldn't be as good and thorough
