I don't understand why laptops still seem to be using the same resolution as 5 or 6 years ago. I'd like to see Apple implement this technology into OSX and their macbooks in the future.

I'll be getting one of these in a few weeks, a 32 gig white one I think.

You can find plenty of 1920x1080 laptops.

More than that isn't needed unless you like watching everything in blur mode (non native res).

1920x1080 laptops in the same screen size range as the iPad?

I think I'm gonna bite. I can still sell my iPad 2 for $350, so this is pretty much a $150 upgrade for something I use EVERY DAY of my life ...

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #183 on:** March 17, 2012, 02:21:54 PM »

i don't think i'd advise getting a 16GB, app file sizes are gonna be nuts once they all start updating (something that is also going to piss off ipad 1 & 2 owners, i'd guess)

bork · « **Reply #184 on:** March 17, 2012, 03:02:30 PM »

Tried my father's iPad. He got the 16GB model and is already down to 10GB free. The res bump feels lost on everyday stuff like browsing, but video looked great. Seemed like there was some ghosting. The iPad also felt noticeably heavier. Didn't feel like a huge leap over the iPad 2 to me...just heavier. :p

I would totally use one for comics however...colors are better and Cormac already showed the difference from the previous model.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #185 on:** March 17, 2012, 03:07:25 PM »

I'm not really worried about app sizes - my phone is my app machine; my iPad is more for browsing and streaming, and I never have more than a gig of comics on it at a time.

The AT&T WiFi+4G model is locked to the carrier, and there's no legit way of unlocking it right away, correct? I'd like to buy it as a gift and ship it to a friend, and I'd like to know my options.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #190 on:** March 19, 2012, 12:23:20 AM »

One annoying thing is the the new one gets hotter faster than the old ipad 2 ever did for me.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #191 on:** March 19, 2012, 12:40:48 AM »

I've noticed it heat up when downloading, yeah. Not a huge problem so far.

Ecstatic that comixology is updating to support higher-res files, which will be available as free upgrades. The existing files already look way better on iPad 3 so I imagine the HD versions will be truly amazing.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #192 on:** March 19, 2012, 12:43:28 AM »

I noticed because sometimes in bed at night I get a little tired and lay in on my chest with no shirt to rest my eyes for a second. It felt like I almost burnt myself when I did this recently. That never happened on the ipad 2. It got warm. But this one got actually hot I would say. It reminded me of how laptops used to be 6 or 7 years ago.

chronovore · « **Reply #193 on:** March 19, 2012, 01:01:18 AM »

It's probably a software problem, and will be fixed with an update soon.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #194 on:** March 19, 2012, 01:22:31 AM »

it's definitely way hotter than the iPad 2 ever got, just from browsing the web etc.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #195 on:** March 19, 2012, 01:40:30 AM »

maybe ill skip a release- ipad 2 is still pretty sweet

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #196 on:** March 19, 2012, 12:53:53 PM »

I only get system and game sounds through headphones. I can watch a video and have it come through the speakers, but all other sounds are muted unless I lug in headphones.. What the fuck

Had to change side switch from orientation to sound, flip it both ways, then set it back to orientation.

Huff · « **Reply #197 on:** March 19, 2012, 06:58:25 PM »

Local news had a report how the heat is causing it to go into "cool down" mode pretty often for some peeps. Anyone experience this?

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #198 on:** March 19, 2012, 07:29:37 PM »

What is cool down mode?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #199 on:** March 19, 2012, 07:31:54 PM »

stops working, displays this screen

uh oh

massive recall coming?

pilonv1 · « **Reply #201 on:** March 19, 2012, 08:00:49 PM »

Some of the early iphones did that too. I wouldn't be too concerned unless it becomes widespread.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #202 on:** March 19, 2012, 08:35:18 PM »

lol apple

wonder if a quick software update would fix it

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #203 on:** March 19, 2012, 09:45:30 PM »

bought- upgraded; im a stupid whore; cant wait for cooldown mode!

Don't say that, MAF. You're not a stupid whore. You're one of the smartest and most beautiful whores I've come to know.

no heat issues here! wife has been running videos on it non-stop

that's toasty

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #211 on:** March 20, 2012, 01:15:03 PM »

At first I was like damn, but then I realized they're using Fahrenheit. 3 degrees centigrade is nothing to be worried about, imo.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #212 on:** March 20, 2012, 01:21:12 PM »

laptops also get hot- wtf. You want a powerful tablet its gonna get hot. smh

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #213 on:** March 20, 2012, 01:26:50 PM »

unemployed hipsters can use it as a space heater! Or keep it close to their chest as they stream Cougar Town at least.

At some point, comics publishers are going to realize that digital comics don't need borders BECAUSE THE IPAD ALREADY HAS BORDERS.

comixology could at least let you resize + lock whole issues, but they don't.

Just realised that too. Non-issue

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #218 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:33:38 PM »

the HD stuff is spectacular - although you might not really notice until you go into Guided View. Each panel is crisper than a regular comic page on prior iPads
