Quotes from other tech sites–>
Gizmodo: ‘It’s almost like looking at a glossy magazine page. It also has much more powerful guts, with a much faster processor, graphics and more memory.’
TechCrunch: ‘As far as weight and shape, it’s almost exactly the same as the iPad 2. They wouldn’t allow comparison shots – probably because the new iPad is a little thicker – but the dimensional differences are minor and the overall feel is near-identical.’
Engadget: ‘By and large, the new guy is the same as the old guy (Home button included), but with a few nice amenities that could very well convince owners of earlier iPads to upgrade. Upon touching the HD variant, it’s not the overall form factor that grabs us — it’s the screen.’
TechRepublic: ‘Apple is trying hard to get us to see the iPad as more than just a consumption device. It clearly wants this to be a viable option for more and more users to consider instead of a laptop.’

Personally I can not wait to get my hands on one to evaluate. It should prove to be a great educational tool, as well as one for musicians, artists and business users. I wish they would come out with an 8″ version for around $299 for those that do not have a budget for the higher priced versions.
