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.

@WSJ Yes. I was sold when they announced the retina display and quad-core. And no, I'm not an Apple fanboy. #wsj

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