iPad HD, who's buying one?

Not even considering it, But I am enjoying my Transformer Prime! looks like apple is still behind in overall specs to the TP in almost every category.

Man after reading all these responses I think I must have Apple goggles on or I'm just a tech nut. I was blown away by the display's technology; 2048x1536 resolution, 4 times as many pixels than iPad2, and quad core GPU which if you're a gamer means less lag. But that's just me.

Well the updates are most definitely nice changes, but it's not like you are getting any new real features or capabilities with it. Apple's track record is to implement changes as slowly as possible every year.

What I mean by that is the iPhone was great. Revolutionary. BUT, you didn't get another big step forward until the 4 (which was playing catch up to pther phones) and even it fell short by not being a 4g phone.

Then you look at the iPad line. The first came out shortly before the 4 released and lacked man of the feature changes that came on the 4. Even the iPad 2, which added the forward facing camera (should have been on the first one....) still did not have a flash like the 4 and still was not 4g capable.... Now you get the iPad 3 (or whatever they want to call it) and it is 4g capable (should have been on the first one although I would not get it) with the retina display (should have been the 2 but not upset ot wasn't) but still lacks a flash.

So yes, it is a product update and we all love them, but I at least expect more effort from the world's largest, most innovative company. Hence, I'm stickin with my 2.
