    TBD on the first box. They didn't say quadcore processor, said quadcore GPU.
    TBD on the third box.

    Anyone think 16Gb isn't going to cut it anymore?? higher res photos, videos and larger sized apps to support the display. Could get a bit tight.

    CNBC just said the name of the new iPad is literally "The New iPad" as opposed to iPad3. If so, that's a horrible decision by someone in their marketing department. There should be clarity on what product is newest, and to a person who didn't know better, it's unclear whether "iPad 2" is older or newer than "The New iPad".

    ...and Apple wouldn't mind squeezing people on physical memory to push them towards their cloud service.

    damn

    2048x1536
    Beefed up A5X, 4X GPU
    4G/LTE
    4S Camera added
    1080p video recording

    looks like I picked a good time to get an ipad


    EDIT: How the F*** will did they manage to still get the same battery life, and 9 hrs on 4G


    Quadcore GPU is going to be more important really. Especially at that resolution. I imagine performance benchmarks will be highly impressive.

    It puts it more in line with their other products lines really. iPods and imacs and macbooks are all generally ID'd by their 'generation'. And I doubt the original ipad (which is the only place the confusion might be a problem) will be on any retail shelves much longer.

    Very clever of them to say preorder starts today but not give a time. I guess I'm not doing work today.

    I think they're just going to call it the iPad, but just referring to it as the new one for now.

    This is a photographers dream. No need for a $800 display.
