RockRaines Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 So the thing that most excites me has nothing to do with the iPad, its the iOS 4.3 release which makes my iPhone a 3G hotspot. The iPad hasnt changed enough to render the current one "old." A camera and a faster processor isnt really that much of an improvement and its already thinner than carrying an actual notebook (you know, the old ones that contained paper).

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 This is NOT a complete redeisgn of the iPad, as Apple keeps saying. It's just a thinner upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change in the glossy screen. You can add a matte cover if thats an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty pathetic, but then again they come up with alot of things that are copied by those other manufacturers, its pretty give and take. Since this was just an updated iPad (you cant fool me jobs) I am guessing the iPad 3 will be the full redesign with the retina screen and some actual new functions.

RockRaines Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Im betting its the same camera on the iPhone4, which is awesome. If they just slapped the 3G camera on there you know that will be another improvement in the redesign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 SHOCKER! Steve Jobs misquotes Samsung: Hey, remember all the fun last month when Samsung's Lee Young-hee said that Galaxy Tab sales were "quite smooth" but everyone heard "quite small?" Yeah, well, Steve Jobs doesn't. Before unveiling the iPad 2 today the man in black and denim listed that early misquote -- which was widely and officially corrected -- as evidence to prove that the iPad's competition was floundering.

BigSqwert Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) I'm getting so annoyed with the fanboy wars for the various manufacturers/operating systems. Who gives a s***. It's like Cubs vs Sox crap. Edited March 2, 2011 by BigSqwert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
