My personal opinion is that if someone can afford the $400 for the iPad 2, then they can afford the $500 for the....uhhhhh.....new one.

I have to say that while I don't really CARE what the "offical" name of the thing is, I do find it pretty strange that they decided to only refer to it as "The new iPad." That's just a little......odd.

I find myself thinking that 1) This presentation is starting to drag on a bit, and 2) It probably would have been over by now if a certain other person was still around.

Any concert that actually allows people to use iPads isn't a concert worth going to.

I would have to agree, I don't understand why it's even open to the "common folk." They've proved a million times over that they're not capable of handling oh-so-impossible prerequisite of having an ounce of maturity when it comes to giving their opinion.

You sound like a very mature person who could easily be listened to by rational human beings.

Way to prove his point.

I'm thinking that if you're under surveillance it's already too late.

Weren't these exact pictures posted at least a week ago?

And what is that exactly? A place where no one should be taken seriously and all conversation shouldn't mean anything?

I don't buy into all of the rumors, and I won't be disappointed as I don't take this stuff nearly as seriously as the loons who frequent these sites.

I'm more interested in hearing about how I can preorder one tomorrow than I am the actual specs of the device. All of that stuff is pretty much known by now.

Very excited for it, but I'm going to wait a little bit.

While I think it would be a dumb name change, it's equally dumb to say there is "zero, None, Nada, etc."

Was this a video response, or was it just text on the website?

Funny.

All I really ask is that I'm able to pre-order this the day they announce it. Everything else, I'm already sold.

Exaggerate much? Open your eyes and I'd be willing to bet you see PLENTY of people using an iPad without a physical keyboard.

D'oh!
