I'm not going to lie...I was extremely surprised and impressed at how pain free it was. You go to most stores and you basically have to battle them over it. With Apple it was in and out in 5 minutes.

They certainly aren't like that in other regions, unfortunately

so is ipad 2 stock still scarce? Getting mom ipad 2 for her bday

Shes glued to her iphone 4 all day and youtubes a lot lol

So I finally managed to get an iPad over the weekend. What are some must have apps for this thing?

Anyone manage to get FaceTime beta on iMac to work with ipad2? Seems to be calling but not connecting

I called Apple right away and set up a genius appointment with one of the "geniuses" for the next day to see if apple could do anything in terms of replacing it and seeing how much it would cost to fix. I walk into the Pacific center Apple store and showed the guy my broken ipad2 and without asking me what happened he went to the back and got me a brand new one still in shrink wrap. Believe me I jizzed so hard my black ipad2 became white.

I got real lucky and thank you apple for your fantastic customer service once again! For those of you who are still deciding whether or not they should get a playbook vs ipad or mac vs pc, i strongly suggest you to reconsider. I'm pretty sure if you dropped your playbook that will be the end of it.

Apples' warranty/return policy are off the charts and for that i think it is worth buying apple products leaving the technical specs aside.

Apparently they also do replacements for iphones too. Not so sure about laptops cuz i forgot to ask.

I attached a picture of the broken ipad. Sorry for the shitty quality..

They set return caps and will send back anything that's scratched, broken, etc. The profit margins for the retailers aren't what you'd expect ($8 margin on the 8GB iPod Touch at Staples, for example), so we'd have to sell a ton of them to make up for that 1 return that we would get stuck with.

I imagine since the Apple store likely gets them directly from Apple instead of through a vendor, it's a lot easier for them to make the customer happy without losing hundreds of dollars. Apple gives the customer a new one, refurbs and sells the old one for hundreds of dollars. Everyone wins.

How's the iPad 2 stock in the apple stores now?

If you can get them in the US then get it there... I wAs is Boston last week and they has plenty in stock and wanted to buy and sell one for 550 and still make a few bux... Kind of unfortunate they didnt have the transformer though

Not sure abt imacs, but my 2011 MBP works flawlessly with iPad2 on Facetime.

ya apple replacement policy is really lenient. my gf dropped the mbp i bought her in january and have this huge dent on the bottom case making the computer doesn't even close properly. i was quoted $300bux to fix by them i'm like ok whatever sure why not. got the case fixed, bill came up to $0. self inflicted dmg they still cover you... or maybe we just got lucky haha

Is that the beta version or the paid version?

Just the version that it came factory. I assume it's no longer the beta.

i guess that is the paid version...

i see a lot of comments that it didn't work well with the imac and other facetime capable device and that is why i didn't upgrade to the paid one...oh well...yahoo messenger works fine

Any recommendation for a quality iPad case? I'm looking for something that protects the back and as well stands the iPad vertically (for FaceTime, Skype etc.).

Is there currently a jailbreak for iPad 2? Just got one frOm Futureshop and they have more

I looked on iclarified and there's none

there's no jb for ipad 2 at the moment. as for case i'm just using the zagg back piece and the smart cover for the front.. went to the apple store the other day to do an warranty excahnge for the ipad 2.. coz it randomly freezes on me at times.. i told him i already did the fw update and everything.. the idiot tells me by pressing the update button in itune.. it doesn't really update the firmware.. i must hold the sleep/home button and enter dfu mode.. i'm like um wtf??? so ends up he won't exchange for me.. i have to go back again in a few days -.-

If you hold home sleep it restores your ipad with latest firmware.
I use the zagg front and back the smart cover still works with it

Go early in the day. Don't ask for exchange. Just tell them the problem and see what they'll do.

Does anyone know where i can get the Logitech Zaggmate iPad2 Keyboard case locally? Seems like only the Best Buy in the states carries it and not Canada.

iPad 2 Keyboard Case - iPad 2 Cover & Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard | Logitech Keyboard Case By ZAGG for iPad 2

^ haven't seen it locally yet. compu2000 might be ur best bet, they only show the first gen one on their site tho.

on another not, jailbreak could very well be out in a few hours!! been waiting for this for 2 fkcing months! check www.jailbreakme.com for updates

IPAD 2 JB IS OUT !! (if anyone cares). JailbreakMe 3.0

was about to post that..

anyway, confirmed working on 4.3.3

now that jailbreak is out, u guys know of any ipad specific jailbreak apps worth using ? all the tweaks i have now are pretty much what i had on my iphone before.. i wish someone would make a split keyboard mod in the new ios5...
