Apple's New iPad: Will You Buy It?

We asked readers what they thought about Apple's new iPad, which was unveiled on Wednesday. It has a sharper display, the ability to connect to the Internet over 4G broadband wireless networks and a five megapixel camera. Prices will start at $499, the same as the previous model.

    I was waiting to get iPad 3 since I knew it was coming. My main demand was solid resolution so that I can read books/documents without having to by kindle. Hopefully this one delivers it.

    Instead of buying an iPad, I'd rather take the $500 and buy one share of Apple. #wsj
