Funny how, with Steve's penchant for dark monochromatic dressing, he is always coming up with new ways to produce things in multiple bright colors.

Edit 1080p movies on the iPad 2, still can't directly play Blu-ray though

(sigh)

Maybe demand for HD movies on the iPad 2 over wireless will force AT&T and Verizon to remove bandwidth caps?

Nah, you will still have to do that stuff over wifi. There is NO WAY that either of their networks can handle so many users streaming HD video over their spectrum.

how come the tech specs don't mention thunderbolt? maybe I am missing that. It says dock connector.

too many choices, white, black, covers, and it looks like different models for ATT and verizon.

That would have been one of the unsubstantiated rumors. No TB on iPad2.

Trisho,

I think the iPad 2 goes on sale March 11. Same price as iPad 1.

Thanks MacArtist. And, the store's up now. I needed the iPad for SXSW in Austin next week, so I'm not even having buyer's remorse about it. I'll probably sell it in June / July like I said and who knows, maybe I'll buy a newer one in September before I go to Brussels for a couple of months.

Good idea to redesign it. Now there are probably about 15 million ipad owners out there wondering about getting a new one.

i dislike the term pre-order.

you either order, or you don't.

a pre-order might be getting your credit card ready, just before you order.

Arrrg!

No pre-orders!

Fortunately I don't feel the need to get one TODAY or on DAY ONE so I can wait.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Get the 64 when you see how nice a eReader it is you'll be putting loads of pdf's and free Kindle books on
there. I wish all my old stored Magazines were converted over to pdf so I could dump thing, you Wood,
Popular Mechanics, Macaddict, etc. Our is half full already I was actually hoping to see a 128Gb.

Guess I could start scanning that would be a job and a half.
