Thanks for the help everyone. I think I'm going to get a new one sometime soon.
Some people have mentioned the resolution being awesome, and I've heard the same thing. I remember reading something that said if you don't plan on buying it, don't look at it because it'll ruin looking at other tablets afterwards.
I hear nothing but good things from people who have gotten iPads, and everyone seems to love them when they get them. I made the switch to the iPhone from the Droid when the 4S came out and I absolutely love it. I'm hoping the iPad is the same way.

You said you wouldn't notice the extra resolution on a tablet, which is completely the opposite of every review I've seen.
I agree with jdogg, probably not worth a repurchase if you have an iPad2, but I can't imagine someone who doesn't have a tablet would choose the 2 over the 3 for only $100 more. Unless you do like I've read and just don't look at the iPad3 in person, because people say you won't want to go back after you've seen it.
New iPad 3 Release: Users Report Battery Problems, Makes Tablet 'Unusable' for Some - International Business Times
Is Your New iPad Overheating?
Hmmm, maybe the ipad 2 is the way to go.
Be interesting to see how widespread it becomes. Haven't heard much about it yet.
This is pretty much the same for virtually every single Apple product - the biggest Apple fans get in line to be the very first to buy the brand new iProduct for the honor of being able to say they are the first, and they are usually the ones that report all the bugs and problems with the product. Essentially, the fanbois stand in line and pay premium dollars to do the QA for Apple.
What you want to do is wait a few months, allow Apple to fix the problems, and then buy. But the fact there are problems on initial release shouldn't surprise anyone.
Lol, I don't care enough about one side or the other to "troll" threads like this. Figured this was a thread on tablet purchase. Since I literally purchased one 5 hours ago, figured I'd toss in my two cents.
People pay $100 more by going from 16gb to 32gb. I'd rather have the new Ipad than an extra 16gb but maybe I use mine differently.
One thing I hate is no USB or SD card. I know you can buy the accessory but they should have just added it. It's stupid things like this that make me hate Apple.

Android tablets are good hardware-wise, but Apple TOTALLY OWNS Android in terms of tablet apps. Several publications tried to come up with lists of really good Android tablet apps. One came up with 12, the other 17. Both were aiming for 100 (which they came up with easily for iPad). I have a Moto Xoom, so I can attest that Android tablet apps are sparse.
Sold my iPad 2 that I had for a year and got the new one. No glitches and I love it.
This is true for any product ever made. You never want the first one off the line. Let the manufacturers figure out how stuff should go together correctly before you get one.
It's a bit weird. It's thicker than the 2. The screen resolution is really hard to tell it's any better and that's with my 2 and 3 sitting together running the same app (a few of the new optimized ones) and the same pictures. If anything I'd say it's slightly better color.
I got an iPad 2 for Christmas, and I wouldn't consider the new one worth it for me. It's not like the screen on the iPad 2 isn't pretty damn good. Best device I've ever had, and it's really starting to replace my laptop whenever I'm going mobile.
In my room, I typically still use my laptop for sites like this, and if I'm covering a basketball game or something I'll bring it along (I have both devices running in that situation; one for notes/stats, the other for Twitter updates). But I can now type up stories and papers much more conveniently on the go (definitely a plus for the procrastinator in me). Plus the camera and video/photo editing comes in real handy when I'm on the job.

Alright. So I'm pretty set on getting an iPad now. I think I'm going to run to best buy after work and pick one up. It may be a last minute decision on whether it's the 2 or the new iPad.
One more question though. What's everybody's thoughts on AppleCare? Do I want/need this?

Howard Stern was talking about this today. He said that some of them are melting and apple says to turn down screen brightness lol. He said that he hasnt had problems with his. Also, for what its worth, he is about as big an apple fan as there is and he said he cant really see a difference in the 2 and 3. Only thing is the fact that you can have dictation to tell it where yo want to go on the web and that the 4g is faster.
No issues yet, knock on wood. Mine has been running non-stop since we purchased it with 4 kids and me jockeying for time on it. I'm guessing I will have to invest in a couple more before long. Might go cheaper on the others though.
I'm like some on here where I just buy the top one so I don't second guess myself later and wish I would have this or that option. So far I love it and I honestly didn't think I would use it that much, but it's very convenient.
