Reviews are leaking out. Universal drawback seems to be the ****** cameras. Universal advantages are new lighter weight and super speed.

Given the camera deficit, I'm definitely waiting for Rev.3.

Do you plan on using the camera on a regular basis?

Why would you care about the camera in an iPad?
If you were planning to use that as your point-and-shoot you'd look like Ansel Adams lugging that thing out and asking people to hold still while you set up.

^LOL I could give a **** about the camera. But the fact is, they shortchanged the quality there and the screen. Plus, it turns out now that the A5 processor isn't really new but just two A4's together. I have absolutely no need for this thing right now so it would have to bowl me over for me to want to buy one. I don't think I'll be at that point until Rev. 3 comes out.

Did you get the Apple email today that basically wants you to wait in line to get one at 5Pm on the 11th.

These guys are masters at creating demand and hype. Good products but amazing design and marketing.

Back-facing camera on a tablet is kind of stupid. On the other hand, it's nice to have the orientation lock back on the switch with the 4.3 update.

Where did you read this? --Andre Edit: is it just me or does 4.3 make the iPad 1 feel snappier?

I think I will try BB Playbook first, and if that turns out to be failware, dump it on the wife and kids for iPad 3.0 ...

Anyone have any experience with Apple's other product launches & ordering online? How long does it usually take to ship?

Wrong way, dingo. If the camera was stellar, it would be another selling point, even if it wasn't something that I was immediately interested in.

Someone posted a benchmark from Endgadget or some site showing that thanks to 4.3 the iPad 1 is almost as fast as the iPad 2, if you discount graphics processing. Apparently a lot of the performance gain is due to revisions of iOS rather than the new chip.
