Yeah, I think they figure that we will all just drive down and get one from the USA or something, but almost no one I know goes down there since 9-11 and all the naked searches and gunplay at the border and so forth.
No, I think that Apple just prioritizes what is important. And Canada is simply not important in the big scheme of things, it's nothing personal. It's called making an intelligent business decision.
Boy, it seems insane to have an iPad2 in the spring and an iPad3 in the fall. I guess they can make an iPadPro that is geared more toward the corporate/professional market, perhaps coming loaded with productivity software and the ability to remote-wipe the device. Probably reverting back to an aluminum case, but this time with a kickstand and swype keyboard and a Microvision Pico projector built into it...
Or, nothing like that whatsoever. iPad 2 is a minor bump, and iPad 3 in spring 2012 will be better.
For a lot of people who don't care, you all seem to care deeply about letting others know how you feel.
I'm loving my current iPad and it's on the market now to fund the cost of the new one I'll be picking up. Can't wait to see what iOS 5.0 has too (even though it may not be announced Tuesday, it's sure to add a lot of new functionality).
Technically, you shouldn't end a sentence in a preposition. So for those of us who love the English language for its regaled beauty, "Come see of what 2011 will be the year" is preferred. However, for those of us who more so love the English language for its flexibility, ease of evolution and expressibility, and appreciate the beauty of slang, the phrase is just fine. Have it how you like.
Yeah. Also, if it was worded correctly (as per your example) it would be unreadable nonsense, so the slightly incorrect grammar is definitely preferred.
People forget also that advertising copy is not proper English and never has been. Traditionally, a huge amount of leeway is given advertising agencies since their very business is inventive wordplay.
If it was a headline in a newspaper it's time to get upset, when it's an advert ... not so much.
It makes sense that people who are actually getting one would reply and be interested in the news.
You're not going to find me on an android forum saying "I am so not getting this android tablet!".
Maybe some of the members already own an iPad and the next version simply doesn't offer them any reason to update. I happen to own a 64GB/3G right now and unless the new version has something I really want I simply don't see a reason to update.
My point wasn't that you are getting one just some may have a logical and rational reason for not updating at this time.

I'm sure that some people do have rational reasons. If somebody already owns an iPad1 and they're happy with it and they'd be ok with using it for one more year until iPad3, that's understandable. Not everybody is going to get every new revision each time it comes out. Money doesn't grow on trees of course.
I'm laughing at the people who say they aren't getting one because it doesn't have a "retina display" or whatever other unrealistic expectations that they may have.

Yeah I agree that is stupid. Kind of like not buying a MBP because it doesn't have blu ray.
"Come See What 2011 Will Be The Year Of" implies a lot more will be hyped than just iPad 2. after all, it will be the year of iPhone 5 and OS X Lion too, and whatever else Apple has up its sleeve. so hope to hear about a lot of stuff!
btw, that is a terribly written phrase.
and ... here comes the media frenzy. with that open-ended come-on, the Apple guessing game may hit an all time high.
"Will you walk into my parlor?" said the spider to the fly;
"'Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you may spy.
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to show when you are there."
"Oh no, no," said the little fly; "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."
I think the clue is in the picture. It will be the year of a new Calendar app.
Or calendar like apps (which updates content). I am guessing might have to do with the widgets or notification. It will good if they have done something on this in the next iOS release.

The maps icon they have only used for iOS roadmap. It is the big news perhaps

Here we go. You guys would read into shit on a string.
What KIND of string...?
What kind of shit? Same old shit, or really great shit?
I just came back from the Turd Museum, they have some great shit there...

Sorry.

Well, this is a thread about the new iPad2!

As others mentioned above, I thought the same thing. Not good to end a sentence with a preposition (of). I learned that in the 4th grade.
Looking forward to finally getting an iPad.
iPad 2 is:
- twice as fast
- two processors
- two graphics chips
- double the resolution (unlikely I know)
- half the weight?
- half the depth?
etc. etc. (and perhaps originally intended to be released on February 2nd? (2-2-11)

Where's Canada?
Somewhere close to the north pole I think. I know there are polar bears and Eskimos there, so I think it's north-ish.
The announcement graphic is a little weird ? doesn't the screen look extremely reflective? Maybe we're getting a MORE reflective screen?
Maybe it's a comparative before and after pic. The iPad 1 reflective screen on the right versus the iPad 2 screen on the left?

Just musing on the numbers here but perhaps the "2" is part of the marketing.

I wonder how the battery life is going to hold up with the boost in specs.

Will it cost me 30% of my salary to attend?
Yes, please send the check to me and i will take care of it.
