I went from the original ipad to the ipad 3, so never used the ipad 2 connector. I always felt the 30-pin connector on the dock was a little sketchy even with the first ipad. Mine just never fit very well. So when I bought the ipad 3, I checked around and found out that you can damage your ipad 3 if you try to use it with the current io dock. Granted, I've gotten most of my information from the following thread: http://community.alesis.com/alesis/topics/alesis_io_dock_and_ipad3

Here is a temporary solution: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-3FT-30-PIN-Dock-Extender-Extension-cable-cord-for-iPhone-4-iPod-/300740911662?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item46058e222e

Oh sweet. I am going to order one tonight since i can see myself using it for more than just the io dock. Thanks!

I've been waiting for 3 months for Alesis to put out an iodock adapter for the ipad 3 all because of a 2 milimeter difference in the location of the connector on the ipad 3. It's freaking ridiculous.

Good to know, thanks. I have my iPad 1 in my I/O dock, I didn't get a spacer in the package or even the card to mail for one. I figured even if they make the iPad HD spacer Alesis wouldn't actually give me one.

I do feel kind of stupid for not even trying to slide the iPad HD in the dock, but now I will.

i dont need lotta over technical tools just simple stuff cos my style and based off complexities and technology its off vibe and ideas.

I wouldn't waste your money on the fly when it does ever come out. iMPC is actually pretty fun. And it is a much more viable tool when used in conjunction with Tabletop because you can then sequence your entire song with Tabletops triggerator. But to be honest BeatMaker2 is a far more capable beat making app than iMPC. It's learning curve is a bit steeper but it is better. I have both and use both but I must say that to spend hundreds of dollars on a controller that has Zero extra features than the touch screen and goes with an App that is in all honesty is not the best wouldn't be wise. If you spend the 7 bucks on iMPC and zero dollars on tabletop you have a pretty capable beatmaker and considering you're probly gonna drop 6 benjis on an ipad you could save the money for something else. Anyways good luck with whatever you do. If you want check out this beat I did with iMPC by itself no post production no prechopping samples. I did everything within the app. And then uploaded directly to soundcloud from iMPC. Here
