I had the original iPad before so the difference is amazing!

However, I'm really not happy that it was advertised as a 32gb, but in my settings it says it's got 28gb of space, so where has the other 4gb gone?

Can I sue Apple under the Trade Descriptions Act?

I did the same, went from iPad 1 to this one, mine is 32g as well. I think the rest of the GB must be used by iPad.

Very clear picture better than the iPad 2 Love dictation but I don't know if it was worth the upgrade for my iPad 2 the new iPad. Apple is asking for a lot of money for these iPads.

It would've been better if they made the new iPad at least look different than the iPad 2.

But all in all I am happy with this new iPad

This is normal with anything with internal memory... It uses that extra memory for future updates, BIOs etc.... So you will never get the full 32gb for personal use.

It is used by the system. I think. If you look at usage on your original 16G iPad, you will see that it has about 13.6G (if my memory is correct) available for your apps, pics, etc. So all iPads have less capacity than stated.

It's everything with internal memory, same thin with the PSP GO, and external hard drives.

I love my new iPad. It's my first one, although I have played around with friend's devices. I read somewhere that the new screen resolution made text much crisper and easier to read. I can definitely say that I can read much smaller text on the screen than I normally can. It's much more clear than the two android tablets I had prior.

I am just starting to figure out what I can do, but I'm looking forward to a long and happy relationship with my new iPad. Oh, the keyboard is much easier to use, as well.

It's just amazing, I have iPad 1 as well and the difference is just unbelievable - cant see any other tablet getting even close for the next few years.
