It wasn’t supposed to be faster, it was supposed to be able to be as fast, with 2x the pixels. A much beefier processor was needed to accomplish this.
Also, not sure if anything out yet takes use of the multicore processor, which would probably lend to better results.
I am happy with the original ipad (64 gb/wifi/3g), just use it for email, games, and streaming, and web browsing but i got it for free from work anyways. I love the apple products but don’t like spending the big bucks for them when they have so many new ones coming out. I think it is so dumb that siri is not available on the ipad 3 but wait until the ipad 4 comes out 8 months after the ipad 3, it will have siri, better processor, and a bigger screen with an upgraded camera and it might even include a usb port or sd card slot 
I still like blackberry for work related since email, security, and keyboard are better than the iphone/android.
They come out on 12 month cycles, not 8 month.
BGR is probably the most pro-apple and anti-anything else blog out there.
Pretty sure jon geller would gargle job’s balls in a heartbeat if he could
Sooooo Jeff, are you purposly ignoring my question? 
Do you really expect a verizon representative to openly answer a question like that on a public forum…
If you’re poor, get a used one.
If you aren’t, get the iPad3.
I am far from poor. This isn’t just about money. Its about practicality, quality of upgrades and availability. Its also about getting feedback from people who might know more about them than I do.
On that note, Thanks for your input Walter.
Are you asking about jailbreaking your phone? I really dont know, ive never looked into what that gets you.
or are you jailbreaking the ipad? cause that wont get you free cellular service.
he is saying he can JB his cell and use his phone as a free hotspot. so not really a need for the cellular iPad service.
That’s correct. I was just busting your balls jeff, you don’t have to answer.
AT&T and Verizon are getting much better at detecting unauthorized tethering.
You can get a plan as cheap as $20 on an ipad w/verizon I believe. What’s $20 nowadays, especially with no committment? Fuck, I spend about double that on coffee every month.
We are all makin becks anyways…
Very true, I just hate that I give Verizon almost $250 every month for 2 damn cell phones. 
That’s a lot of Becks just to keep in contact with my gf!
$250 !!! I spend 180 between the two phones. I thought that was a lot.
I spend 180 for 3! one dumb phone though…250 is a lot
Holy shit @ $250/month. My rent in college was that much…
get rid of the damn b*tch 
anywho, I shall be receiving me new iPad on Friday
Hah! I pay $29.95 a month for my plan. You guys are paying way too much!
For the 3g or 4g $20 a month plan, do you guys tend to go over, or is it enough to get by?
