The idea that the iPad3 will come with less storage, due to iCloud, is a non-starter. People want to watch movies on airplanes, at sea, etc. where Internet access is either unavailable or extremely slow and expensive. Flash is getting cheaper every year.
The GPU, not the CPU, drives the display. I note that the GPU in the iPad2 is up to 9 times faster than that in the original iPad. The first one was annoyingly slow in response, the iPad2 is instantaneous (to the extent I can perceive it). 2048x1536 might require a faster GPU and an upgrade to 1GB of RAM, but I don't think it will require a 64-bit CPU or a quad-core CPU.So you want a 2048x1536 resolution, but dont see a need for a quad core? Whats going to drive this massive resolution? Especially in games?
Thunderbolt would provide faster sync, which would be nice, especially when restoring a backup to a clean iPad. That reportedly can take more than an hour now.This might be a stupid question, but what good is thunderbolt on an iPad..?
I am SO, SO glad that I sold my original iPad and bought an iPad2. The faster speed alone is worth it. The lighter weight alone is worth it.So glad I didnt bother with an upgrade from iPad to iPad2. will make next upgrade a real one rather than the watery effort the iPad2 upgrade would have been
