The New iPad (3rd Generation)

I'm surprised no one created a topic on the new iPad yet, is anyone planning on getting one and hows the market in HK?

it goes on sale on 16th in America.  I do not have the stamina to lineup so will order online and wait 10 days.  Looks like it is a winner- great camera, very sharp images, LTE

I ordered mine last week about 1 hour after the announcement and wiill receive it on the 16th. The fucked up thing is that it's already sitting at the Fedex distribution center about 5 miles away, but they won't release it until Friday.  Interesting how fast it shipped from SZ to SF.

I ordered 6 units of iPad 3rd generation, I was gonna order more to flip them in HK/China but seeing as HK is being released at the same time..I doubt I'd make much...and I bet a lot of HKers will already be smuggle shipments of iPad 3 from HK to the Mainland.

Kinda sucks..

Be careful flipping Ipads in China, it is illegal bring ipads/iphones into China for sale, you might have problems at the border.

Work out how much you paid for each one and try & sell them on line?

I did it with the first iPhone - I managed to buy 5 or 6 from a friend & sold them to the UK on line, they were already on sale their but I managed to sell them a little cheaper. It all adds up.

Yeah, I heard about that too! Thanks for the heads up, I believe if you bring 1 in it's fine for "personal use" but the 2nd one would have to be taxed

Thanks for the tip! Problem with this batch is, the market seems so saturated, especially with online pre-order + like 10 countries releasing versus 2 or 3 a few years ago lol

if you run out of tickets to scalp in HK, i believe the next nearest location for Lady Gaga is the Philippines. for $30k should be enough to include airfare and hotel

How was he able to sell them in SZ for so much?? That's a nice profit on some concert tickets.

got mine in the mail 2 hours ago.  Nice, but I wasn't awed by it.  I guess maybe I was expecting to get a boner out of it and have some skank pop out of the box but it didn't happen.

I might get one eventually, they're extremely overpriced and I wouldn't do very much with it aside from reading. I have a powerful PC for gaming and a very nice laptop for work so a tablet really isn;t a necessity

read some reviews ... a lot of USA doesn't support 4G either ... so it's sounding a bit like being the first person on google+ ... great feature but can't really use it until the carriers spend another gazillion dollars replacing all their towers.  

very mixed opinions about "the new iPad" ... the consensus is if you want a beautiful screen, it's nice to have, but so far nobody's given a better reason for buying one.  

I do have a question: has anyone read anything about battery life yet?  I'm concerned that big screen is going to be hungry ... and the old iPad's 10-hour life is a big winner for me.  Having traded down on longevity of my phone (GS2) I would hate to trade down on longevity of my iPad also.  Anyone found anything yet?




Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

One2free has 4G on offer, i deleted the promo email already so i don't know the details, you can check on their site i guess.

Can you still go and get one?  I heard from a lot of places they didn't even have lines and there was stock available if you walked into the store on opening day.  Maybe they are all gone now though.......

I know that they've already JB it, so you can have all your tweaks and free stuff on it real soon.
