I think the key thing to take away from this post is how many lightyears ahead the third generation iPad is from its competitors, or current consumer technology in general.

> Going back to the iPad 2 after reading for a few hours on the iPad 3 is jarring.

> ...most graphics and images on the web are behind the curve, as of today

> The iPad display is so good that it shows, like no device before it, just how crummy most images on the web are.

It's like using a product from the future. Except Apple has engineered it now, and everyone can have one for a (relatively) decent price: $500. The new iPad is the poster child of everything that Apple does really well, and why it has been so successful over the past couple of years.



I was about to go "Yeah but the prices in Australia are so much higher than in America, rah rah rah" but the base price is $539 here.

Honestly I'm shocked.


I think you meant to comment on Gruber's site. Pointless inaccurate fawning belongs there, not here.
