    Underwhelmed. I'll wait for the next one. No surprises either and what about larger storage space. Can't edit high quality film and photos with only 16GB of storage.

    3D is a gimmick, as it has been for seventy years. It is not the future.

    I'll be really surprised if you ever hear "one more thing" at an Apple presentation. That was unique to Mr. Jobs.

    Well looks like LTE battery life still sucks. New iPad is 42.5W vs 25w in iPad 2. That's a pretty big jump. Still no word on RAM increase either.

    "MS Office for iPad" as 'One more thing' would have been really cool.

    What sort of horrible accident left your brain this damaged?



    3D isn't a gimmick. The studios are investing highly in it. 3D blu rays are selling well, and so are the displays. Nintendo even has a glasses-less 3D device, something Apple could easily do given this device is focused on a single person holding it just like the Nintendo device.



    What the hell are you gonna say next year if Apple introduces the iPad 3D?



    Oh and as far as facetime HD goes, thanks for looking at up for me. I guess this will be just another thing to wait for next year.

    For the life of me I can't figure out why Apple doesn't include a miniSD. Oh well, this is a really nice hardware though. Here's hoping that other tablet manufactures play catch up real fast.

    Do other tablets offer more than 9 hours on LTE?

    Because they know people would end up just buying the base model and expanding the storage space on their own.



    Also, maybe there's some proprietary file system they don't want microSD cards to be capable of...

    Until they have a holographic display, 3D is just a gimmick. Have you played with the Nintendo? It's a piece of crap and it's not selling well.

    Looks like they decided to avoid a numbers race and just stick with plain ol' "iPad". Which makes sense to me. Too bad that will moot about 1/3rd of the discussions on AppleInsider!

    Very disappointed there is no 128GB version and I really hate that home button.



    We don't have a 4G network in the UK yet so that feature is wasted here for this year.



    I'm sure the screen is very good and the faster processor is welcome but it's not enough to make me want to upgrade.

    I don't think he was complaining about the iPad's battery life.



    To me he was saying that LTE sucks the death out of batteries.

    The new animations on the iPad page on Apple.com are AMAZING. I love that stuff. Just the little HINTS of stuff.



    And they start when you scroll down to that part of the page where they are. So subtle.



    I don't like how the iPad moves down slightly on the Features page, though. I don't get that.

    I've had two wives. They're not as hard to find as one would think.

    Time flies. 15 months ago we were foreseeing and praising this very move on this board and now it's real product.

    BTW, kinda hint about Apple's production cycle timeframe.
