I have two early teens and none of us watch TV anymore because of the iPad. I found myself telling the kids to watch more TV last week just so we can do something together. I read 10x more than I used to due to these tablets.

iMeh.
Apple is just a big, hungry, greedy company now... they are everything they used to be against.

And from that I glimpsed at the live blogging about it, sounds like the latest one is going to be able to do pretty serious photo editing.

Not that it matters but it was different when Apple was the underdog. We were the hip minority back then. I think that's what Jubb Jubb meant.

I've been an Apple user since 1988, and I'm glad Apple's not an underdog anymore. The 90s were absolutely no fun. |

Nah, I loved the Sculley era. I still miss my Newt (stolen out of my apartment--wonder if that lowlife ever realized it was a German OS version, useless in English), and the Powerbook Duo was just awesome.

So it has more resolution and is faster?
Eh... personally I like laptops a lot more. I'm actually beginning to tire of the iOS interface a little bit. It's very....rigid.

I wonder if there is a weak or strong correlation between PC/Mac preference and conservative/liberal political bent. (I'm thinking it is positive.)

I'm not a fan of infographics, but for brevity's sake, check out this and this.
There are some problems with the methodology. But I think if you did a more comprehensive study, you'd come away with basically the same conclusions. |

Nikon/Canon does not evoke the same correlation as computer platform and political ideology does in my mind.

Just ordered today the 64GB version in white. Can hardly wait for it to be delivered but there's no rush since our big trip to eastern Europe and Istanbul isn't until May.

What Joe said. I love hearing how clever Apple are at marketing like that's all they have succeeded at. I am happy with the original iPad and might consider the new one. I don't like waste though and I'll stick with this one for the moment. DNG files are very slow to deal with on the original iPad. One of my scientist colleagues says he can't write anything to make the iPad 2 fall over so maybe DNG and the iPad 3 will be practical.

I don't think Apple was ever against success and making money. Perhaps they were once the underdog (and almost dead), but only in between being a very popular company. |

Eh? Did I read that correctly?
So, where does the film go then?  |

It's definitely getting a lot more interesting for photographers - that retina screen is amazing - it's very different than a typical display. I find it a lot less fatiguing. Imagine if you could tether that to a camera to use as a high-res display in the field?

I want sharper text, as sharp as, say, a printed magazine page. I don't like reading fiction on a computer screen--I've been longing for something as sharp as my phone, and this should do it! |

I barely touch my 13" MacBook Pro since I brought the iPad 2 home.
I use my iPad for on-site payment, invoicing and receipt generation via Square. I also use it so clients can see results during photo shoots in real time with DSLR Remote HD. I also use it for eBook development.
I may upgrade to the New iPad later this year because of the display.
