27 inches! not exactly portable. You sure this is not some spoof?

Spoof??!! The iPad that can shoot bullets, give milk, etc. No, it has to be the real thing.

Saw this news. Looks like a Mar 2 release of IPAD 2.

I guess the iPad 2 is indeed coming out.
I had paid 50 percent advance as the retailer in mangalore didn't have stock, and was supposed to get the iPad today. But i got a call from the retailer yesterday saying that their supplier has informed them that a newer version will be coming on March 3 and hence they will not be sending the old version.

Its finally out with new IOS 4.3.

The OS to be release on Mar 11.

Amazing speed power and performance.

- They have the new A5 processor
- Its 33% thinner
- Front and back camera
- Supports HD
- Comes with funky cover designed alongside!

Sucks being an early adopter.
Hope I will be able to use the video mirroring feature on my old iPad too, that's the one big feature in my priorities.

you're not alone mate, I am on the same boat. Bought one in January for wifey and I hardly use it (I bought one to keep wifey occupied while I play games on my PC for long ). So, this time I won't whinge.

But yeah planning to JB it and my Iphone pretty soon. Keeping JB in mind I am happy 'cus the new one has OS4.3 hence JB won't be possible for quit a while....

Even if you buy Ipad2 now there's gonna be a new one around in 9-12 months anyway...

Why do you want to jailbreak your ipad?

For the sole reason of getting rid off all those restrictions that Mr. Jobs have put on ipad. On a non-JB ipad you do what Apple wants you to do. Once you JB it, its all yours just like a PC. You can set theme of your choice, you're not tied up with itunes any more (and pay for crappy apps) and lot more...
