No, other.
Yup, ordered one to replace my ipad 1. Looking forward to the 16th
Edit: Looks like some have shipped already

Nope. Not enough of a shift for me to want to shift my hard earned ££££
Will look again at this space year.
As for ghostdogmas comment.... Yup, agree. All the financial instituitions i work with use Apple devices as test beds for staff work devices as android isnt finalised enough and blackberrys tablet is crap.
Im loving my Galaxy Note though albeit supplemented with an ipad2 and a work laptop.
No chance Just got a 7 inch with GPS fits in pocket does all I need as I don't do Games. Do maps offline pictures card games books odd bit of video and web browsing as required.
Nope, love my iPad 2. Nothing it doesn't do that the new one will.
No need to upgrade at all in my eyes.
Love my Ipad2 and can't see a reason to upgrade atm, might change when I actually see one
Depends; I'll do it if I can get a decent price for my first-generation model.
Oh yeah I would much rather have a lower resolution, than have it 0.8mm thicker. 0.8mm is nothing, sometimes things can't be kept the same.Originally Posted by 3dcandy
As for what I think. The ipad 3 looks good but chances are that I won't justify the cost to actually get one.
0.8mm is 0.8mm, so why did they make such a fuss over the previous models thinness then?
Perhaps you don't mind but it's things like this that annoy the hell out of others...and the resolution is wasted imho.
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
It's not a 'retina' display, 267dpi on the ipad 3 versus 330dpi on the iphone 4 and they really shouldn't be advertising it as such. Still no, I buy my devices because they're special like my Thinkpad T60 for being able to have the highest resolution panel ever produced for a laptop, or my Nokia N900 for being able to run a full desktop OS and have a keyboard. The ipad 3 is not special in any way and would just perform the job of my laptop but worse obviously as I wouldn't have a keyboard which I use heavily.
T60 is a very rubbish laptop. Utterly slow....
Regarding the question asked, NO, dont have any use for an iPad
Simple answer... no.
Apple are way to expensive for what you get, and I'm not shallow enough to buy one just for the name!
I'm not an Apple hater, in so far as I think they make some nice looking and working stuff, but they are far to overpriced.
If and when I get a Tablet it will be a cheap Android version (Windows 7/8)...
The more pertinent question is why you are making such a fuss out of an inconsequential change.
It's called 'splitting hairs' or 'making a mountain out of a molehill'.it's things like this that annoy the hell out of others
It's 0.8mm, for goodness' sake! It's less than a tenth of a centimetre! I'd be surprised if you could even notice the difference without some pretty close examination.
None of the poll answers completely apply to me really, and I see three questions there:
1) Will I buy a tablet?
Probably not; I'd rather buy a small laptop for any scenario I can think of, I'm not keen on touchscreens and I'd much prefer the tactile feel of a keyboard/mouse any day of the week. I like tech but I'm not one to waste money on something just because it's the latest thing and I'm told I need one. On the few occasions I could substitute a computer for a tablet, I'd probably still pick up a laptop instead, and they're not cheap enough to have lying around for the few times you force yourself to use it so you don't feel guilty about buying it.
2) If I decided I wanted a tablet, would I buy an iPad?
In short, no. There are plenty of other options on the market I'd take over an iPad any day of the week and for considerably better value for money, but it's not just about the price - even if they were on offer for £50 I wouldn't bother, unless I thought I could sell it on for a profit. I'd probably go for something like a transformer for reasons I've mentioned above, but even within the basic tablet range, iPad would still be near the bottom.
3) Would I buy anything with an Apple badge on it?
If you've followed my posts for any length of time you already know the answer to that.
All the usual reasons for disliking the monstrosity of a company really...
Tablets are probably held further away from your eyes than phones. So, retina display is probably still about as accurate as it ever was.
