Sad as I am, I like the look of the smart cover. Cleans the screen as you move, mmm Smile

(Probably not the main feature really...)

I dunno, they dedicated a video to it!

 

Looks fantastic and all, nothing in there to make me want to sell my first gen iPad.  Looking forward to having video sorted out in airplay though.  Ill keep saving for a new MacbookPro I think

Re: ...and here it is

Agree with Paul - not wetting my appetite enough to want to change from my iPad. The HDMI might be handy every now and again, but really not interested in the camera. I actually like the profile of the current one - with the newer one being thinner, I'd be worried about damaging it. At least the current one feels robust. And if the new one has a shiny back, forget it!!

Wasn't it meant to get 'Thunderbolt'?  Though admittedly without other Thunderbolt enabled devices it's not much use...

Yeah, I thought so too.  But then again except for the first sync when new, data transfers very rarely take over a few minutes on to my iPad.

Take a few seconds using a MacBook and a USB... Stick out tongue

But I do like the iPad's 'yoga mat' Smile

But I bet it won't output full 1080p that Apple promises with the iPad 2. The original is great but there's no doubt this is a another leap forward.
