Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 ... I pulled the trigger So the big question that hasn't been answered for me yet is.... Will the Alesis ioDock be compatible? I'm hanging on to my iPad 2 just in case. Anyone else preordering, or considering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KoskineN Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Well, I'm considering it, but I don't know if I should just get a Mac Book Pro instead. The MBP would be more useful for work and recording,but the iPad is cool to have around for net browsing, music, etc, and much lighter to carry around...

Members frenchji Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm glad that it's the same price... although I wish they added more features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fever606 Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 no reason the ioDock will not work... the ipad 3 is only marginally thicker than the 2 (but still thinner than the o.g. ipad) and of course still has the dock connector, so it should "just work". i will upgrade if one of my friends wants my ipad 2... otherwise i will probably just wait for the next rev...

Members mmolteratx Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Was it officially announced today? I didn't catch the specs on it. What are they adding / changing with the upgrade? Not much. New higher res screen, quad core A5X processor, 4G LTE on the Verizon/AT&T models. It's about an ounce heavier and a mm or 2 thicker. I'll stick with the 2 for a while longer, personally.

Members TravvyBear Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Holy crap, just watched the keynote. I'm impressed! And it's not the iPad 3, it's the new iPad! Yeah, your ioDock will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $399 for the wifi only base model, I may just have to bite the bullet and get a iPad2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WorkingClassDan Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've held out until now. Retina display is the big drawcard. Travvy, you're right, the $100 difference between 16gb iPad2 and this new 16gB model is worth it. You'll forget the 100 difference over a couple of years. Anyway, no real need for it, but this is the moment where they pushed me over into shelling out for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a HUGE fan of the iPad, but after watching the keynote today, I was like "...{censored}, they got me" I would love one now.

Members mlabbee Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Pre-ordered. Decided I needed to stop using my work computer for personal stuff (nothing illicit - just need more of a divide between work and non-work life). Don't need a full-fledged machine for home use, so I figured this would be a nice rig for home/music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members driverhasabomb Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 Do any of you guys use your iPad for gigs? I'm seriously thinking about picking one up for jazz & classical jobs where I'm reading everything. It would be a lot handier than having a music stand full of sheets at home too. I did a dinner job over the weekend with a guy using his iPad and forScore... it was awesome. He had the setlist set up with pdf's. No rifling through pages or messing around with multiple books. Someone would call a tune and he'd have it in front of him within a few seconds. For most jazz gigs I'll use iReal on my phone for songs I don't know. It works okay but it would be great to have the melody in front of me. http://www.forscoreapp.com/This is what he was using. It looked great.

Members SimplyBen Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 That awesome display kinda has me hooked. Been trying to tell myself that I didn't need one for ages, looks like I'll be grabbing one now haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trick Fall Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm still happy with my original ipad. Eventually I'll upgrade, but I don't feel the need to yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members letsgocoyote Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 I dont care much about these types of devices, but it seems like they could have done some cooler upgrades. Like a freaking SD slot and USB. I know there is a camera kit for that but itd be nice to be able to do things with out dongling things off the little dock connecter.
