Poll: Are you getting an iPad 2?

So Apple finally released the iPad 2 last Friday both in stores and online. With thousands of people hurrying to buy one for themselves, all the stocks were immediately sold out (not a surprise).

On Apple’s US Online Store, the shipping delay started at just 3 – 5 days, which was quickly updated to 2 – 3 weeks the following day and now — it’s up to 3-4 weeks delay when you order online.

A friend in the US lined up close to 6 hours in one branch of Best Buy (where stocks were also limited). It’s also possible people are hoarding stocks (despite Apple’s policy of only 2 per buyer limit) to sell on eBay or bring home to other countries and sell for double the price. I’m still waiting for mine which will hopefully arrive on the 25th.

Just curious is anybody here also bought or is thinking of getting one (even from non-legit sources). I reckon Greenhills will be swarming with iPad 2’s in a week or two.

  1. 094936*****…Apple products are pieces of shits


  2. Im thinking of buying one for reading books and bible but dont know when it I should it be, iPad2 or next release.


  3. If my budget can handle it. Right now, I can’t afford Ipad 1…so how would I buy Ipad 2…but I am planning to get Ipad 1 (I am saving for it right now).

    But probably if Ipad 2 came in the country when I have enough money for Ipad 1…probably I’ll save up for more to get Ipad 2. :-)

    Also I am waiting for feedbacks regarding Ipad 2.


  4. mukhang bigger form factor lang to sa ipod touch.. still without flash.. i’m waiting for more android gingerbread tablet..


  5. Yes il buy one. waiting for it for all eternity!!! Steve Jobs is the MAN!!!!!!


  6. I’ll buy after a year siguro. By then, the ipad 2 is much cheaper. :)


  7. astig (LANG) talaga ang apple products. but i would still go for honeycomb / blackberry tablets. i’m too techie for IOS


  8. Nope! pass ako jan, By September meron nang iPad 3. hehe


  9. yup definitely. im ready and waiting. im getting the 64gb wifi only


  10. Ah, basta. Hintay ko iPad 2. Kailan ba darating sa ‘Pinas ‘yan, kuya. At ako ay bibili.


  11. yup will get one, will use it for testing when i start developing mobile apps.


  12. Sir Yuga,
    How can I get an iPad 2?
    I tried the online stor, but I guess it’s only available in the US.
    How were you able to purchase yours?


  13. Definitely, I’ll buy one. Sana lang dumating na siya ng mas maaga. Paging Apple! Hope it won’t take til December before dumating ang ipad2 dito. Helloooooooo! Magkakaroon dito ng December tapos by March may bago na naman?? Seriously, wtf.


  14. No for me, maybe If Jobs changed his mind on flash maybe I’ll consider just like he did on camera’s on the 1st issue of this device.


  15. ndi… may ipod touch n ko, ska prang ms mganda ang mga android powered tablets, ms mdaming features, may flash p.


  16. Nope, I won’t get one. If ever I’ll be given some cash to buy the a gadget, I’d get a 4.3″ android smartphone. I’m not a tablet fan. :|


  17. yep, if i can afford it hehehe..but 4 now only in my dreams..


  18. Nope. Unless Steve Job removes the chain (read: iTunes) that binds his devices and adds flash and then allow divx/xvid playback then I’d go for it.


  19. Apple did not make the SGX543MP2 – even LG or Nokia can use that. Since the same chip will be used in NGP (four cores, so I heard), I bet that the GPU performance is really that good for a mobile device.

    I am more of a producer than a consumer. A good desktop (I am not mobile) is all I need for production and a cheap enough Android mobile for communication (synchs well with a Google account), casual browsing and gaming. So far, the only use I can have for a tablet is for reading documents and ebooks but there is a Kindle for that. So no – no tablets for me in general. (Subject to change in the future depending on what will the tablets offer. :P)


  20. I’ll wait for the release of BB Playbook. then, I’ll decide.


  21. no im not getting it. im waiting for a meego tablet


  22. Ill wait till Q3 or so before deciding on which tablet to buy. I’ve got a feeling there will be more interesting stuff then.


  23. Definitely not. I don’t want to be tied up to the iSheep ecosystem. Android equals freedom.


  24. Nope, sir. Mababaw lang naman kaligayahan ko, I’m happy enough with my Archos 70 8GB. Wifi only but tethers well with my dumbphone (Samsung Shark2 S5550) if needed.


  25. probably… pero budget parin ang main consideration kasi you have to spend wisely these-days. hmm ok din naman ang honeycomb tablets specifically ang Xoom i haven’t tried the new UI but hopefully better than previous versions of android. in terms of iOS vs android ang iOS is very user-friendly ang android medyo for techies or power-users. pero if you want full control of your iOS device there’s a thing called jailbreaking. and if hindi kapa satisfied sa freedom na binibigay ng android you can root it and install a Mod android OS. to say this is crap and that is crap is kinda stupid. lahat tayo may different preferences. To each his own…^_^


  26. hmmmp. im not interested about apple products, its uneconomically sound to buy one


    • Price war? Seriously, are we still talking about it?


  27. No for now, I’m still happy with my iPad 1st gen.


  28. With the current selection of tablets we have and will soon be available here in the Philippines, the Ipad2 is the only tablet to go. Right now, we have the Galaxy tab 10.1, Xoom, and Ipad2. These three sits mostly around the same price, with Ipad2 being in the cheapest with the 16gb wifi version.

    If you want a tablet, wait for the ipad2. Buying a XOOM or a Galaxy tab at this point in time is, IMHO, a big waste with what Ipad2 offers.


  29. NOPE, im happy with my ipad1 if i got money to spare, ill buy galaxy tab 10.1 same speck as ipad2 and with flash.


  30. Em definitely getting the Ipad2. Not so sure though where I can get one at the soonest possible time. I can’t wait for its availability in the Philippines. Masyadong late na dating sa Pinas. Anyone with connections or contacts? Thanks.


  31. A better choice than current tablets today. Even motorola xoom is trashed


  32. I will, if i can sell my ipad 1 at a reasonable price.


  33. Nope. I don’t see the point in a 3rd-world country such as ours, and I definitely don’t see the point over a netbook/notebook.


  34. the tablet craze is in heat, am not going for the form bandwagon. its not practical.
