@clinton1550 Exactly. Particularly if we want to use iPads to create content and to consume it. With 64GB it's pretty much either/or. 3:15 PM Mar 7th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to clinton1550
@clinton1550 I don't know. I just find 64GB very limiting, and I would have thought the economics would allow it by now. 3:06 PM Mar 7th via Twitter for iPad in reply to clinton1550
@m_atthew @thespurofthings It is interesting that they cover just about every form of 4G used, except the very one we happen to use here 12:35 PM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac in reply to m_atthew
@freney I know. It was interesting that they plugged it today though. 12:33 PM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac in reply to freney
@thespurofthings Hardly any 4G devices do, though. I kind of doubt 1800MHz is going to end up being the standard. 12:00 PM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac in reply to thespurofthings

I'm going to admit one big disappointment with The New iPad: I wanted a 128GB version. 11:50 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac
Aust price on 16GB WiFi iPad 2 is $A429 which is less than the US price + GST. 11:32 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac
@clinton1550 Slight improvement I think. I'll have to see the full range of pricing to know. 11:31 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac in reply to clinton1550
@clinton1550 Yeah, saw that. 11:30 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac in reply to clinton1550
Australian site has pricing "Starting from $A539" so in line with US pricing plus GST looks like. 11:29 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac
There's a "Pre-Order Now" link on the Australian Apple site, but the Store is still down. I knew you'd want to know that. 11:27 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac
@clinton1550 For some maybe. 11:26 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac in reply to clinton1550
Of course as soon as I have Australian pricing on this stuff I'll tweet it. Because that's my thing. I'm Dinky-di. 11:25 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac
and we're done. Thank you linespeople, thank you ballpeople. 11:24 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac
"The new iPad" is a stupid name. That's right, you read it here fifteenth. 11:23 AM Mar 7th via Twitter for Mac
