    This is a response to your post. I am also using voice dictation on my new iPad. So far so good. Today's screensaver word of the day is puce adjective of a dark red or purple brown color. The more I use my iPad the more I falling in love with it.

    Gadgets by themselves can't make anybody happy. YOU make yourself happy.



    But there lies the problem isn't it?

    All in all, exactly what I'd expect from Nuance software. Does it require an Internet connection to work?



    at the end of each sentence, I manually say "period". if there was no question mark, it's because I didn't say the word.





    I still haven't figured out how to make it jump to the next line, like enter or return, but I'm sure that's something simple.



    I'm connected to the Internet now, so I'm not sure if it works wirelessly or not. It seemed to be very quick and responsive, but I'm not sure yet.

    Gaaagus....



    I got mine about 1/2 hour ago... the Fedex delivery guy said he had about 30 on his truck and they had 1,600 in the Fedex depot in Pacheco CA -- SF East Bay.



    The dictation is fantastic!



    I noticed you can use the new iPad while it is syncing apps -- a great feature since it takes a couple of hours to sync the 603 apps I had on my iPad 2.



    Rear camera is significantly better!



    No problems with connector cable!

    Fucking fantastic. The fucking thing really does work I'm doing the same thing and it actally is understanding what I say. It even seems to understand the word bollocks.

    The dictation was even able to spell out correctly my 10 letter Polish last name- I'm guessing because my name is already in the device somewhere. Interesting!

    Don't know if you have seen this (from TUAW}:

    Sorry, but the silver iCloud logo was also on the box of the iPad 2. The store where I work as an Apple-Certified Macintosh Technician still has iPad 2's in stock, and I'm looking at one right now. They had the logo there as soon as iOS 5.0 first came out.



    It's hideous. It reminds me of an XBox...Box.

    Does anyone here use Zaggkeys solo?



    I just wanted to know if this accessory will work with the new iPad. ZAGG ain't fessing up since they want people to fork $99 for the folio version.

    Same size, just usually snug. It will loosen over time.

    I was going note the cats as being an issue.

    They aren't even on par with the iPad 2.

    I have a folio case, perfect fit.



    Does anyone else think the sound output is louder?

    Yes... grainy pictures on a wooden coffee table would be much better



    Or, a more natural setting... say the throne room

    Maybe because Mr. Narcissist started almost every sentence with a I or I'm.
