    well all the hype. nothing more than a ipad 2 with a 5 meg cam. and quad core gpu. shame not even a redesign. shame. i just hope the iphone 5 is a complete redesign. or its windows mobile for me.

    i like apple. but the hype and the main was a bit disapointing.

    So, still no SD card slot, HDMI connectivity, or USB slots. Still no flash, so a lot of frustration on the internet. Still overpriced, still overhyped, and still, as the name suggests, just an iPad. Disappointing, but no doubt it will sell by the bucketload, and it's shiny screen will be all over this site, whether it deserves it or not

    I spent all the pocket money I had ever saved up for, for the iPad 2 last July. So I was quite annoyed when Apple brought out a new one yesterday, looking at the specs and all the new features however, I am quite happy I don't have to buy a new one as there is no major improvement. Lets take the Retina display for example, its really beautiful I'm sure, but the iPad 2 graphics are great already, I have to look really closely to notice the pixels. As for the new camera, which is an improvement on the, admittedly terrible iPad 2 camera, who really takes pictures on the iPad anyway? I've always found it rather awkward to take pictures with, and I wouldn't dare take pictures in public with it. In some ways the iPad 2 is better, it is thinner for example. Overall, personally it is not something I would like to invest in, maybe I'll wait for the iPad 5...

    There are SD, HDMI and USB adapters. I don't own one and I'm not an Apple fan boi - but you might like to get your facts straight before displaying your ignorance on the world wide web.
