I'll be more than a bit annoyed if iOS 5 has killer features my 1G iPad won't be able to use. I'm sitting this one out too. Nothing announced is even on my desire list, really. Hook my iPad to a TV? Why?
.
why not? You use air play for that. Te HDMI thing is mostly aimed at teachers, but anyone could really use it, even though you will get the back bars on a wide screen TV.
They want to see lines at stores. They didn't get that with the verizon iphone launch. They don't want a repeat of that.
If they didn't want that, they would have had their own launch. Besides the iPhone on Verizon is just an iPhone 4. Nothing more. Nothing less. If you already have an iPhone and are happy with ATT theres no reason to upgrade.
That thought had crossed my mind. Jobs- and Apple in general- have enough of an ego that it would be a realistic explanation of the lack of pre-order. It is going to lead to huge lines at Apple stores, and you know every local news station will have cameras taping the lines for the 6 o'clock news- giving Apple a crap ton of free pub.
You know, that probably explains the odd time of release as well.
I dobut it will lead to that. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple paid news stations to give it all the hype.
Besides local news stations have more important stuff to cover then a silly ipad launch
I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to get just the Wi-Fi model or the 3G+Wi-Fi. What do you guys prefer? I need some opinions if you don't mind. I just don't know if paying the extra $ a month is worth it.
its really up to you. People say wifi is everywhere and that m,ay be true, but are those wifi hotspots free and open?
It's good that you don't have to have a contract, but I think they should have had a dual chip.
