The "new" iPad Announcement / Discussion Thread

[Neutron]

Ugh, looks like two different versions of the new iPad for LTE, one for AT&T and one for Verizon. That sucks they couldn't do it in one device.

No new name. Not 3 not HD, just the "new iPad" - at least not yet.

They may give the name at the end.

Well, that's good. But that's the only surprise today, so far.

"Available" = walk in & walk out with, but no preorders today? I wonder if I walked in to an AT&T company store today, they'd take my order for pickup or delivery later.

On edit: Now I see your post, pre-orders today. I type too slow.

I was a little surprised at the price. I figured it would be more expensive....

There are pre-orders today. The Apple Store is DOWN right now, I'm sure it will come back soon.

Does the Apple store also sell AT&T data packages, or do you have to go to AT&T for that?

Since you can buy iPhones from them you should be able to buy data plans.

what is the name of it ? ipad3 ot ipadHD ?

 

[Neutron]

Engadget is saying it's just called the "new iPad".

It's month to month. No long term contacts required. You can setup it up directly from the iPad. I believe it'll auto-renew each month until you cancel.

iWork updated.

GDGT said iWork updated, but describing iLife, Garage Band can play on multiple iPads together.

FoxNews reports Apple stocks down when battery life on the new model is not any better then the 2.
