ajax_andy 0 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I know they could be pre-ordered from a few days ago and all the fan boys will have done this and probably queued since about 1am this morning... so does anyone think I have any chance of walking in to the Apple shop or John Lewis later today and picking one up, or will they be completely sold out? I can go tomorrow too but am thinking I might have the same problem? Anyone tried to buy an iPad on release day or the day after before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35120 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Isn't the release day and the day after before the release day the same day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajax_andy 0 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Isn't the release day and the day after before the release day the same day? Haha I meant has anyone tried to buy one before... i.e. has anyone ever tried on the day or the day after. I understand completely what your are saying though as when I read it my initial reaction was... WTF does that mean?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a Nexus as I have all my appointments on my iPhone and the ability to sync the 2 and have each back up the other is a big bonus with the Ipad tbh. Plus I like high fiving people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 More reasoned arguments for the Nexus The device is 8.9mm thick and 603g making it thinner and lighter than the iPad’s 9.4mm thickness and weight of 662g. Apple appears to have been schooled by Samsung in this instance [display] as the Nexus 10 sports a slightly larger 10.1-inch ‘Super PLS’ LCD with a 2560x1600 pixel resolution and a pixel density of 300ppi. On a display of this scale that is pretty staggering and ensures that the Nexus 10 is now supreme ruler of tablet displays.

The specs of the Nexus don't impress me really any more than the iPad as all I'll be using it for is to show clients examples of my work and the iPad screen works perfectly for this. Other than that I'll probs play footy manager on it and browse the web, maybe watch films on the plane etc. Can see why some might go for the Nexus though... especially as it's highly unlikely they'll release a new version every few months!

Renton 21643 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Erm, who's the person that needs a product on the day of its release and is panicked there will be a shortage of stock, despite existing technology perfectly matching his needs?
