I am eager to get mine. I like that iPad embodies Apple’s continuing environmental focus and is designed to reduce environmental impact. It has an Arsenic-free display glass, BFR-free, Mercury-free LED-backlit display, PVC-free, and has Recyclable aluminum and glass enclosure
.
I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve been holding out on buying one until the 2 came out and will be jumping online on the 11th to order it. I am bummed we don’t have an Apple store in a 100 mile radius, waiting is not my strong suit.
