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.
I was going to post an image of Apple's competition using a tablet but really it's them at a drawing board... as in back to the drawing board... but none of the images I found seemed right.
The 1950s called. They want their "it's the future" back.
3D is a gimmick, as it has been for seventy years. It is not the future.

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.

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!
The wireless models now 4G connectivity, allowing users to connect to long-term evolution networks from providers like AT&T and Verizon. The new iPad will offer download speeds of up to 73Mbps over LTE. International 4G LTE partners are Rogers, Bell and Telus.

...SHUT UP. This is foolishness of the highest tier.
Actually no, replying to him is foolishness of the highest tier.

You people crack me up, seriously.

How true that is.
3D - it's the future, it's here

HD FaceTime might actually be on the ipad3
From Apple's tech specs page:
FaceTime camera with VGA-quality photos and video at up to 30 frames per second
Okay now Phil's back on stage. Time for 'one more thing'.
I'll be really surprised if you ever hear "one more thing" at an Apple presentation. That was unique to Mr. Jobs.

You could just post a pic of a copier...

Well looks like LTE battery life still sucks.
Do other tablets offer more than 9 hours on LTE?

What's the official name? iPad HD or iPad 3?
iPad. They've said neither name.

I wasn't expecting a revolution but this is a very easy pass, underwhelmed.
LOL, I think not!
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.
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.
To be able to forgo a spouse for one of these devices, apparently.
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.
