Now for an iPad 3.

Sold my iPad 1 for 370 a few weeks ago. I did include a few extras with it though. Think I'll donate the iPad 2 to the girlfriend when I get the new one.

Now, hopefully they get a bit of stock in ireland. Or I might just order it online and wait the 1 or 2 weeks it'll take.

Mine was bare bones 16gb WiFi. Happy at the price as I bought it refurbished from Apple when the iPad 2 launched.

Yeah that was a good price for it.

Sure might as well just get an iPad 2 now

In fact that guy does a great job painting consoles and they look amazing in terms of workmanship. He gets paid a nice bita scratch for it but some of the ones just looks horrible afterwards so I couldnt bring myself to do it. A punisher skull and lightning on a NES WTF!

I kind of do want to paint a PS1 like a ZX spectrum though

How would you cover and paint the tiny font decal on the NES cart flap?

I'd say he made a stencil of it, painted over the old one and stenciled on the new one.

I actually talked to that fella before. He uses a laser cut stencil and paints it on that way.

Haha stop trying to do an o1s1n on me! Is the iPad 3 available to pre order anywhere?

I might be away on business in Jersey, London and Dubai for a bit of April so pondering a tax free one. If not, I have a 15% off code for the Apple store I could use...

Not in Ireland. But people have started to receive them in the US and the reviews and tear downs are out now. No surprise that its the same as the iPad 2, as in mostly battery.

Doesn't the UK get them tomorrow morning?

Dunno. I thought the UK release was the same as Eire? What's the story with Apple Store pre-ordering? Will they announce the time or something to go online and order? I'm not used to this Apple fanaticism lark (mainly because I don't really give a hoot, I just need an iPad 3 to travel).

You can buy it tomorrow in stores in the UK or grab it online now.

Not sure about pre-orders for Ireland but its available from the 23rd of this month in shops(if you manage to grab one of the 5 iPad's they get in stock).
Nothing about pre-orders on the Irish apple site just yet.

The UK usually gets stuff a week or two before the rest of us.
All we need to make the new ipad a must have is an updated iMame4all with an updated game roster.
I'd buy that for a dollar!

Groovy. Happy to wait it out. I have a coupon for the Apple site so I'll just buy it there. Same place I bought the refurb iPad 1. Delivery was super swift with them, no messing around.

By the way, I asked yer wan at Gamestop if they were selling on the iPads. Apparently not, they are just sending them to Apple. Very weird.

You know you can add games to iMame4All even if you're not jailbroken.

I jailbroke my iPad the day I got it. An hour later it was back to factory stock. Couldn't be bothered with it.

In the ownership lifespan of my iPad one, all I did was play Cave shmups and the excellent Darius Burst iOS...

...which I might start blubbing about now. I miss Darius Burst iOS! Where's my Darius Burst AC EX tote bag so I can blub my tears on to it?

I'm off to go play Darius Burst on the PSP, hate the controls, then play some Darius R on the Game Boy Micro to cheer me up!

...then realize Steven Emmanuelle Ulysses SI has two copies of Darius Alpha and blub some more.

You might need to change that in a while
