I got my iPad (3) on the day they were released here in Australia. Walked in no cues nothing as here the shops did not tell any one when they would have them for sale. ( this is in Geelong Victoria) Now have been using it for 10 days and I love it, coming from the ipad one. It is fast, like the new screen it helps with reading a lot. Went over the road to a neighbors to show it to her about 50-60 meters away. As I am going through a few things I realise that I was on the internet, my internet. The original could not do that. The camera takes very good photos at 5 MP. The only thing that was a little disappointing that the forward pointing camera can only be used with Face time. I would have liked to be able to use it with Skype. All in all I think it is a wonderful product.
