R U going to the Apple store today?

I'm still deciding if I wanna pay sales tax on it or if I wanna wait until it's on Amazon.

 I may yet just head down to The Grove later

nope, why?

Well, I give up. I can't stand not having an iPad 3 any longer. I am off to The Grove. The old one is going up on eBay, unless you think you can beat Apple's 0 overwrite scrub and want to buy it at a premium so you can lift the data. In that case contact me. Wait, no, it's going on eBay.

Ah, the new iPad is out,..

Wonder what they will call the new iPad when the new the new iPad is out?

The iPad Formerly Known As The New iPad perhaps?

I find it incredibly easy not to want one.

I consider what I would do with it that I can't do already, and then look at the price.

Probably what they do with the iPods: "iPad (3rd generation)".

I'm back. Weh, at least Apple validates your parking. 

FYI, Mountain Lion RC2 got released today. It will be cool to see how it interoperates with this device.

Frankly this is the least exciting Apple product launch ever. I've already forgotten what the iPad 3 adds, was it screen pixels or something? Meh who cares.    

I'd prefer spending another ten minutes talking about Windows 8 because huge improvement or huge failure - at least it is interesting. 

Grats on your new toy. 

Manip,

It's more than the HD Screen.

Plus what modern developer that works in the software business wants to be seen with a last generation device?

You may as well wear a t-shirt with the words "I SUCK" silk screened on it. Especially in California where people are 100% superficial.

There are some people who could get away with using last gen iPads. The people doing airport shuttle rosters outside of LAX use iPads, and I don't think anybody would care if they were not current gen. I use Prime Time Shuttle and they have iPad 1s still I think.

I am killing time while batteries charge and software updates.

Just as a lot of people are not aware that Lenn Pryor left C9 to work at Skype then eventually Facebook they don't know that ex-C9er Rory Blyth authored a book on iOS programming with monoTouch:

I was checking his Twitter feed to see if he wrote anything new since his original book about iOS. It looks like he recently got into a fight with his mother and went to Jail and slept in his car.

I think my updates are ready, back to work.

@1001011: my god, you are creepy as hell.

You really don't want to wear this shirt in California, you will send mixed messages, unless that's what you really want.

I thought he meant, she lived in his car and still not done yet.

@magicalclick: nope.

Apparently, he also lost his job.

I feel as if he should be doing a morning interview on KTLA next with Sam Rubin.

I'm having trouble determining who is crazy. Why would a rational person tweet about these things? Anyways, it's a good demostration of a liar's paradox.

+1 Is this relevant to anything?

@JoshRoss: I don't think you're from America. If you knew Jerry Springer, Steve Wilkos et. Al you would understand what leads people to vet such things online with no shame.

As I prepare my old iPad for sale, I have found this great article on GigaOM. I hope others will find it useful.
