Good thread full of wallpapers. Also InterfaceLift have a 3rd gen iPad option for their images (so far only 25 pages worth lol), and I also found these:

Much thinner than iPad 1.
 

Despite other companies always have better touting Specs Apple always stays on top. Mob mentality I guess and even other popular devices aren't getting the jump one active and one last season device gets. Companies always tout better this and that but it hasn't worked in 5 years+ so I doubt it will work this time....plus...while the HD and visual things do matter and LTE and what not, in terms of raw power..many devices that have faster ARM or ARM based(Snapdragon for example) processors can't beat Apple's lower clocked one due to how well their hardware was compiled together ..i worded that weird, but i think of a good eco system. some will disagree but this isn't the big part. it's OS efficency. raw and synthetic performance on the PC's may not mean too too much or big but on mobile the relation between the two is huge and my 800MHz A5 Dual Core ARM Cortex A9 beats an 1.5GHz Snapdragon in ...everything if not rivals right up to it in CPU processing and then smashes it in GPU calcuations in gaming. DVM used on Android is just not superior. it is good for mass deployment but peformance wise for many games and what not it's not done well. should've just used JVM but that had many problems as well. and then we get into problems of soo many devices Google can't make it cross platform like Apple. Apple due to it's closed nature allowed it so that all apps even those not optomize for more core's can get a speed boost and apps written for it will see a bigger one

Is audio from an iPad (iTunes) pulled with a digital dock such as the Cambridge Audio id100 bit perfect? Thinking about making an iPad w/dock my transport for my rig. Either that or J River on my PC.

It seems that device does what the CLAS and HP1 does and bypasses the ipod's internal DAC(i think as it says digital output and it is expensive) and thus, wouldn't your DAC that you would use with conjunction with that have more effect on bit perfect-ism than using the ipad as an source which is just feeding digital data. so the question is how good is the id100 in pulling the data and how reliable is Apple's LOD(from what I know of portable devices, it is pretty up there) but hey, you probably already knew this and know more than me. just conjecture from me :/

Bit perfect happens before the conversion stage, and even before the outputting of the digital stream, actually.

Did you get a Smart Cover? I ordered one of those, so if you did, too, and are looking for a good back cover that'll work with it, please let me know if you find anything that you really like (and I'll do the same).
 
I'm looking to forward to the improved performance, man.

Amazon has a great back cover here that I use daily...takes a solid beating and really does fit the new iPad....oh yeah, its a buck.  Crazy - but yeah, i've got one on my new iPad and it was a tight but nice fit.  Lots cheaper than the incipio feather case....

Ok thanks to know, I guess the term could be used in many ways as if the data comming out of any thing is maintained or something.
 
So I guess you are now asking on Apple's part how the iPad is as an audiophile medium?

So far i love mine

Sort of, basically I'm asking about how the data is streamed out of the iTunes player, and the interaction between the iPad and the dock.

In the land of Windows PCs the common acronyms you see for bit perfect playback are ASIO and WASAPI. This devotes the audio output device to a single stream rather than accept audio from all audio sources active (beeps and boops from other programs, etc) to maintain the highest level of purity. I worded that a bit strangely, but it's not in order to keep the beeps and such out, but the simple act of allowing those signals to mix constantly gives you lower performance, even if there is no secondary active sound.

I get what you mean, I use foobar with WASAPI on my PC and I think that about my devices sometimes too, but my equipment isn't so far up that this stuff is at the train of thought yet.

Are you talking about using your iPad with airplay? If so, airplay is bit perfect if the content you're streaming is 16/44.1.

Likely I would be using it with Windows iTunes. I've heard you can stream it wirelessly off Windows as well as Mac, but I could be wrong. What about files greater than 16/44.1?

If not I could always bump the storage on the iPad to 32 or 64 and just keep my most regularly played stuff on there.
