The new Apple iPad unboxing and hands-on
0. phoneArena posted on 16 Mar 2012, 10:22
Honestly, we’ve seen this before. Why’s that you ask? Well, that’s because the packaging of the new iPad is nearly an exact facsimile to the one we’ve seen with its predecessor – the iPad 2. Dominated by that milky white color, it’s undeniable an Apple product we’re...

Then, 'if it ain't broken … why' release a "New" one?

Why would u not release a new one? That was a stupid comment. If that's the case,then y should Chevy release a new vette,or Ferrari release a new 360 medina? My point is improvements don't always come in the form of a redesign. Under the hood is what's counts most. That's what I told a guy,after my vette beat his 360 medina.

And every new car has ... guess what ... a steering wheel!
Why release a new car if it has to have a steering wheel!
If you have an interface that works ... why change it?

Apple is founded on money gouging principles so a yearly re-release of a product is a necessity

That comment could go for anything. With electronics they are always bettering themselves from the previous model this should be obvious. My old nokia still works but I have a better phone in replace, my old ponitac runs amazing but they kept replacing newer models out in replace off it its an unavoidable thing. This should be a known fact competition drives the electronics to always put something new out there even if they did 2 weeks prior.

Galaxy S line (international version) has the physical home button and I absolutely love it.

Well, iLove the sleek feel of the capacative "Home" button on my DROID RAZR™; no cracks and crevaces to clean. Besides, think of all the iGerms living under that little plAstic iCap.

I understand what your saying about a change in design, but the iPad is simple and the design does work, so why risk it?

I'd probably have much more faith if the button was a touch one.

The screen is impressive and the praise goes to Samsung, LG and Sharp. Not apple.
Other than that its the same design which has now become boring (yes its still a good design but I want something new) and the same boring OS.
My friends Iphone and Ipad are identical, what's the point, waste of money.
If I had a galaxy s2 and Tab 10.1 Both would look completely different, set up different and different widgets.
bore off apple with your restricted closed eco system.
Good work to the manufactures who help make it tho.

That's why i'm going to get a Samsung windows 8 tablet. woo hooo!

Actually sice Apple designed the screen in-house, they will ans should get the credit.

So this is it? Long awaited iPad 3? After Jobs left, all Apple can do is copy its previous design. Dear Apple, you are in deep trouble if you don't rush out some designs. Your queue out there at each of your shops are getting shorter and shorter... Really disappointing as a whole.

I think you really got through to them. They'll definitely listen to you.

I just got the iPad from FedEx and I gotta say while the screen is beyond belief, I am waiting for the transformer infinity t700 :)

Just picked up my new 64 gig 4g LTE iPad. I sold my 32 gig on Craigslist for 400. So far this puppy is sweet. Killer screen,killer speed,and I can't wait to watch the walking dead on it.

wow...really? i'm going to watch the walking dead on my 60 inch plasma with my xbox. somehow i think my experience will be better.

Let's see you drag that 60 inch TV around to school, work, vacation, etc lol.

Got mine this morning and I was very skeptical but after 3 hours of continuous use I can honestly say this is my tablet of choice. I guess an Android user can like an iOS device lol

Can't believe this guy spends 879$ on a 4G version
22. SuperEd posted on 16 Mar 2012, 12:46 0 2
i KNOW! I hope he has ALOT of money, and/or his company paid for it...or is going to have his company pay for his data plan...if they don't cut his bandwidth speed before that happens. total waste.
