I experienced no difference in terms of speed when I tried to load the fucked up shit what makes you laugh thread. This was tested when I held the two devices side by side. Seems like it's not that hard to pick one up in Vancouver :D

It depends how much you value the new upgrades (facetime, super speed browsing, smart cover etc). If the new upgrades do not interest you then yeah ipad 1 would be a good deal.

Ps. If you do decide on getting an ipad 1 go check out the SFU bookstore cuz they are getting rid of their old stock. I remember they were letting the 64gb Wifi one go for 449.99+tax.

Why does the SFU bookstore have ipads?

kluk 03-26-2011 07:02 PM

They're authorized ipad retailers. They have all the apple products.

i asked them on friday whether or not they will be getting ipad 2 within the next couple weeks but the guy said the chances are VERY slim. He also said that even if they do get ipad 2's they only get one of each model.

wow..need to get myself one of those! Great for ipad+DSLR owners!

JesseBlue 03-27-2011 12:01 AM

what does everyone think of the massive excessive post of ipad 2 that people sell for a premium? I hope that no one buys from them to prevent them from making this a business...anyways...

FerrariEnzo 03-27-2011 12:22 AM

that card reader is awesome.. is it only for CF cards only? i guess you can buy a CF card adapter if you have an SD card or something..

I'm not sure if it works with ipad2 though.

dangonay 03-27-2011 08:26 AM

The iPad 2 is definitely worth the $100. Although Apple claims graphics up to 9x faster, actual testing has shown around 5x faster on average. That's a huge difference from the iPad 1. If you do anything graphic intensive, or like games, you're going to want to pop for the iPad 2.

App developers are already releasing versions optimized to take advantage of the better graphics. Infinity Blade had a "quick update" and it looks and plays much better on the iPad 2. Imagine a title written to take advantage of all the iPad 2's graphics instead of an existing game getting a "refresh"?

c3m 03-27-2011 10:28 AM

hmm seems like it's sold out at every FS and BB right now......

insomniac 03-27-2011 09:26 PM

Reserve online and pick up when it becomes available.

c3m 03-29-2011 05:51 AM

If anyone is still looking for the iPad2

Apple requires you to reserve it online so they don't get a line-up every morning
Here's the link to reserve one online. IF they get any stock they will show up at 9:00PM local time.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ikkaku 03-29-2011 08:16 PM

JackAss 03-31-2011 12:53 AM
