Yep, and it worked on all iPhones.Also had no idea Apple bought a company called 'Siri' and kept the name... TIL
I'll be shocked if anything is announced tomorrow...There's been nothing at all even hinting at the idea that this iPad has haptic touch other than the sentence fragment "And touch." and an unrelated youtube video. There's been no leaked parts, mentions of it in OS code, no so called "insiders" spreading rumors about it. I will be absolutely shocked if it's announced tomorrow.
We're going to get a faster iPad 2 with a Retina display. If you expect anything else, you're really pushing it.
I'll be shocked if anything is announced tomorrow...
But yeah I'm not concerned about that, Apple have kept secrets in the past. With all the talk of retina it would be nice for Cook to have his first 'boom' moment with haptic stuff. His first big launch was the 4S, which was somewhat low-key for a few reasons. iPad 3 could be a spectacular reveal for him, and retina plus spec bump isn't enough. It would be great, but not spectacular, because we're all expecting retina and spec bump at this point. Haptic tech would push it into the realms of 'wow', and 'goddamn, they've done it again'.
They are probably going to gimp it by putting in only 512MB of RAM.

To be honest so would I. But I can't see it anymore. I'm blinded by Apple's cheeky invite wording. And the finger in the photo is like a big 'FU' to all those wishing for a Cintiq rival.Call me crazy, but I'd rather have an official pen (API) than haptic touch.

Nah, look at all the haptic talk on the last few pages. It might be nice to have, but we're all expecting this now. What would really be good is if on top of retina and haptic tech, it also comes with a 3D glassless OLED screen, 50% thinner, EIGHT cores, with thunderbolt ports and wireless syncing and twice the battery life. Anything less would be a huge disappointment.
Why does the invitation imply we would need to touch the iPad 3?
We all own apple products, iPads, iPhones. We know what they are and how they feel. Nothing new there. It's glass.
This makes me think the touch is going to be something haptic related, i'm boarding the hype-train!
Hehe. I won't be disappointed if there's no haptic tech. I sold my iPad 2 a few days ago in anticipation for this launch - if it's higher res, more powerful while maintaining battery life and weight, I'll be happy.Nah, look at all the haptic talk on the last few pages.

We still have a week!There hasn't been ONE rumor at all period about any of this touch nonsense. Not a one. It isn't happening.

What? Explain a game sceanrioHaptic Touchscreen = Gaming Holy Grail
Were I an Apple executive, I would be pursuing this relentlessly. Then again, this has been the case since long before the iPhone launch, and all we have seen in production devices are lame vibration-motor haptics.

Nice troll. So by your words, even if every single other company in the world stop making phones/tablets you will still avoid buying from Apple, because you despise them to such an extent. Oh, and iSheep, right? How original.
Love how haters transitioned so smoothly through Apple's growing popularity to 'lol pathetic marketshare they suck' to 'lol Sheeple who eat anything Apple throws at them'. How original. MAYBE people buy apple stuff because they just so happen to make the most useable stuff on the market, by a long shot? No, that can't be it.
OH MY GOD I FEEL THEMMMMMMDrawRace 3 mannnn. FEEL the corners. FEEL THEM.
I read that Disney tech but still don't undertand =S, does it work kinda like a texture? Anyway I sold my iPad 1 so I'm on board with the 3.
What EviLore said, and also use your imagination.
Puzzle game involving textures. Sword slashes that have physical weight. Text content that is 100% accessible to the blind at the OS level.
The possibilities are endless and amazing.
With the anticipation of a new iPad being just around the corner, more people have been trading in their first- and second-generation Apple tablets, eBay says.
This afternoon, the company said it's generated more than 125,000 tablet trade-in offers this month, with 97.6 percent of those consisting of Apple iPad models. That number is up tenfold from the number of offers during the same month last year, eBay said.
Those offers are for the online commerce site's Instant Sale program, which differs from its auction services by giving gadget owners a way to trade in items for cash. Users describe the quality of their item, and eBay picks up the shipping cost, as well as the job of wiping whatever data is on it.
eBay says 7.3 million trade-in offers have been made since the program's launch. Along with Apple devices, the program also accepts other electronics, though the company says iPhones, iPods, and iPads have represented the majority of trade-ins.
That more people are trading in their iPads now than this time last year shouldn't be too much of a surprise. In February 2011, the first-generation iPad had been out less than a year and had suffered considerable supply shortages that pushed availability back several weeks for those looking to get their hands on one. By comparison, Apple sold 32 million iPads last year, with the majority of those being the second-generation model--a device that had supply problems of its own.
First-generation, Wi-Fi-only iPad models are among the most popular models being traded, eBay said.
eBay has historically provided a unique view into the international sales demand of the iPad, with the company publishing a chart last year depicting where people were reselling the second-generation tablet in the two weeks after its launch. While the majority of those devices remained in the United States, eBay's data showed which countries were buying it up ahead of local launches. That data also included a breakdown of which models were the most popular (something Apple does not disclose).
Below is a full ranking of which iPad models are pulling in the most trade-in offers, as well as the top five non-Apple tablets offered for eBay trade-in:
Top Apple tablet models:
1. iPad 1 Wi-Fi + 3G AT&T
2. iPad 1 Wi-Fi only
3. iPad 2 Wi-Fi only
4. iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G Verizon
5. iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G AT&T
Top non-Apple tablet models:
1. ViewSonic ViewPad 10 16GB
2. Motorola XOOM 32GB Wi-Fi
3. Asus Eee Pad Transformer 16GB
4. Acer Iconia Tab A500 16GB
5. Dell Streak 7 16GB Wi-Fi
lol I was wondering when you'd stop byStill wish this was a Retina Display. The PPI seems adequate in that shot, but alas; it could've been so much better.
No, that was not my intent and attempt at a troll. It was more of a comment on how I really don't give a damn for a tablet because I feel tablets are essentially the exact same thing as a smartphone, just without the built in phone portion (in some cases). I have a smartphone, so I don't need a tablet from anyone. "Despise them to such an extent" is no where even really implied that post.
"every single company might as well just quit making tablets and phones" is a sarcastic comment. "I will still avoid it, but people will eat anything Apple throws them." Somehow that turned into a derogatory comment called "iSheeps" and "Sheepies"... but yes, I will still avoid an iPad... just like I will avoid all the other tablets out there because I don't need one and I don't want one. However, I am still interested in the tech involved in them. Apple has, over the past while, become the biggest tech company in the world and that absolutely plays a factor because it has extreme brand recognition... nowadays, people will buy Apple products because they have an Apple logo... the logo that is sign of quality and the name plays a huge factor. Not many companies can compete with that type of recognition. My point is that the name and logo are a symbol of quality and people will jump to that because they are know that logo.
Maybe I should have been more clear... but don't panic.
Regardless, I am interested in seeing the new iPad to see if they do pull off some sort of haptic feedback for the screen. It'll be a technical marvel for them to be able to pack that tech into it and still have the insane display resolution, along with everything else that is supposed to be there. Hell, 3D might even be a part of it if those patents are anything to go by. All the eggs into one basket... might as well.

Link is broken for me. This one should work.
Better yet, combine the haptic touchscreen from Disney Research or Senseg with Immersion's new HD Haptics where the entire device seems to provide localized and precise haptic feedback. Shake your phone like it's a maraca, and feel the beads move around individually. For bonus fun, add a painted wood texture to the image of the maraca itself.Haptic Touchscreen = Gaming Holy Grail

I apologize for misunderstanding your tone. I guess I'm tired of all the 'Oh it has an Apple logo so people will mindlessly buy it like morons' troll comments I see on every single tech blog.
How much did you get and for which model?
