iPad HD, who's buying one?

Cmike2780 · 03-07-2012, 09:36 PM

My first gen iPad is still hanging strong and does everything I need it for. Just not a huge enough of a leap for me to trade in for the new one. The retna display is nice and I love it on my iPhone, but it's not a big enough difference to justify the price tag for a new one.

dont forget yall. it aint called ipad3. its not official what they gonna call it but most likely the same ipad 2 but 2nd gen like the ipods. this new release was very disappointing. everyone expected something great, but at the end, no big changes. if u have an ipad 2 and dont use 3g service, might as well just keep it. im not gonna get rid of my ipad2, just gonna wait for something thats worth it.

it's been all over the news...if you look beyond the second google search result there was tons of speculation about what was coming...things like the A5X and retina have been known for months.

Sorry, I'm not a techno-geek living in my parent's basement with a pearly-white finish to my skin tone.

I would buy one, but I'd rather save that money for my soon-to-be Z (hopefully) ._.

Not even considering it, But I am enjoying my Transformer Prime! looks like apple is still behind in overall specs to the TP in almost every category.

Man after reading all these responses I think I must have Apple goggles on or I'm just a tech nut. I was blown away by the display's technology; 2048x1536 resolution, 4 times as many pixels than iPad2, and quad core GPU which if you're a gamer means less lag. But that's just me.
