The extra resolution is there even when you aren't reading books.

799 dollars.
I said this of my 3GS until I got a 4s. Retina was the absolute must have for me, now to make a final decision!

I'm not sure what point you're going for here.
Assuming Safari or whatever third party browser you are using makes use of the RAM. It gets hairy with multiple tabs but it was still faster and more responsive than any other mobile browser I've used. That was with 256 megs of RAM. Maybe the display wasn't a big deal to you because everyone suspected that was the upgrade, but I'd be surprised if the browsing experience is significantly different with 1 gig of RAM.

You don't need to jailbreak to get MKV. Just install a $2-$3 app

This is going to be my first iPad.. hell first iOS device. I'm struggling with what size to get. I don't plan to plan to install music on this as I have an iPod classic, but I might put a movie or two on. Ahhh.. once I decide on the size, do I get Black or White... X_x

Thinking about getting a 16GB white the New iPad. Are these going to be available in stores or will they be sold out for a while?

This will be my first iPad. Got a 16GB Wifi model. Will I basically stop using my iPhone now lol.

We already knew about the display so I took that as granted. I was afraid they'd leave the RAM at 512mb which isn't enough for someone who uses heavy tabbing which I do. The 4S has 512mb RAM and it's a pain sometimes.

are the dimensions and cameras, ports, buttons, all in the same place as the ipad 2? thinking of putting a preorder in but i don't like Apple's Smart Cover, would love to buy one some 3rd party ipad 2 cover

Safari on an iOS5 iPad2 crashes on any image heavy page I visit. Opening the PC Screenshot thread here on Gaf always crashes the browser. I could imagine the additional Ram will make things better when browsing.

Not sure whether to stay with the Dark Gray smart cover or change to the Light Gray....does anyone here have the Light Gray? What are your opinions on it? Does it stay clean?

That resolution is a beast. I wonder if there would be any games running at that.

my order said :OOPS an error has occured" when I checked out. Do I order again or has it ordered?

Home mostly, but I would feel kind of self-conscious or even slightly douchey whipping it out at a park or something heh.
Home, a majority of the time. That's why I went with the WiFi this time rather than the 3G I went with on the iPad 2.

Wow at that comparison.
So Refrigerator was right. If you mash your eyeball against the glass you'll be able to see the pixels.

I thought I would use it more on the road but that never happened. That's one of the big reasons that I bought the new one. I can sell my 32 GB Verizon 3G iPad 2 for a decent price and I don't need 3G/4G. I get a nice upgrade, a new battery, while losing a feature I don't use and I'm only out $150 in the end.
I find that possibly disingenuous, seeing as the retina screen seems to be slightly out of focus, or at the very least a bit blurred. The focus is on the word 'safari', and the icon is slightly out.
Again, I prefer the verge one:

Apple lied. Eyeballs died.

Question. I have a lot of ebook .txt and .pdf files. I want to put them on my new iPad. Can you make folders in iBooks?

That resolution is insane.
I ordered an off-brand one from eBay for like $12. They're nice, but the Apple one was kinda junky. Not expecting a great $12 smart cover, but the $60 didn't impress me at all.
Don't know about txt files but PDFs are on a separate tab altogether from .epubs.

Damn im possibly gonna buy my first apple product.
Can anyone tell me if you can play x264 MKV content on IPADs or do you need to convert it?
Or are there apps that can play it on the fly?

both. fantastic home device and great when out someplace when and where it makes sense to have it with you. it is meant to be used heavily in both places.
buy one, love it and take it wherever you want.

Crazy that you can actually make out the grass texture in the bat and ball image versus the iPad 2. This thing has to look amazing at normal viewing distances. I just want to process my photos to natively take advantage of the iPad3 resolution and look at them.

I cannot wait to see that display with my own eyes.
