I would also put that in the 95% "no" category.

Weird to mention 3 Canadian carriers as LTE partners during an event like this, no? Usually Canadians have to wait to get the new product. Maybe not with the new iPad?

It is a bit thicker. The iPad3 is 9.4 mm while the iPad2 is 8.8 mm. I think it is also a bit heavier.

You're right, I glanced at the width in inches and got mixed up.

Exactly. I never understood the appeal of the 3G iPad at all; are there really that many iPad owners who also aren't carrying a cell phone with them for tethering?

Oooo new Infinity Blade . . . kinda amusing how they mentioned the actual iPad has a higher resolution than can be shown on the projected image that people are impressed by for the gaming.

well, it makes a great unit for GPS, and for travelling if you don't have an unlocked iPhone etc. it has its perks personally I don't see the value though.

I currently use a 32GB WiFi iPad 2 and love it

They're saying that the iPad has more memory/higher resolution than an XBox 360 or PS3

I really would love if they made Siri down-loadable in the app store for iPhone 4 users. I'd pay 10 bucks for it, just for voice texting alone.
