Not sure about if it would have to be thicker. I don't think it's nearly a crammed internally as the iPhone.

Ignorant? He didn't say that he expects it to have 2x resolution, he said he would be dissapointed if it didn't. That is an emotion, not a logical deduction. So there is nothing to be "ignorant" in.
Unless you mean that "retina is sooooooo impossible, that to even WISH for it makes you stooopid"... And that would be wrong too. Retina isn't tehnically impossible for the ipad 2, only practically undoable. But its still theoretically possible.

There was a period where Apple stopped using it, but I for one am glad it is back.
yea fine maybe always was a bit of an exaggeration. my point was that in recent history they have done it almost ever, if not every, time.

But the situation is very different now, the competitors are on par with design and specifications, and until we get iOS 5 their software is just as good if not better. Add apples new policy on in-app subscriptions that might drive away a lot of the big names in apps.
It will be very interesting to see what the next iPad will bring, if theres not a hardware ace in the whole (like the retina display was for the iPhone 4) and the specs are as rumored, apple will not have as many advantages (well their build quality is superb in most cases and most of their competitors don't match that). I all boils down to software and apps.
Oh I forgot to mention the most important thing: on all of AAPL's products there is a magical fruit on the back that automatically increases sales, which will be hard for the competitors to beat even if their hardware and software is superior in every conceivable way.

I don't believe there was one. They only started doing it again the past few keynotes.
oh ok yea cool thats what i thought. sorry.
yea i really started paying a lot of attention to the keynotes when they actually started providing live streaming.
I wouldn't expect them to reveal any portion of an upcoming product on their invitations.
It is a first-gen iPad. Apple is not going to give away what the new one looks like in the advertisement for the event. It is only there to drum up speculation and anticipation about the event.
It is all about market share, not numbers. Android is skyrocketing past iOS, as seen in the DECLINE of market share for the iPhone. A simple extrapolation of the trend lines forward tells one that there are troubles ahead for Apple. Some refuse to see it because of brand loyalty blinders firmly affixed to their heads, but Android has more momentum than does Apple. For example, more households now plan on purchasing an Android device for their next phone by a significant margin over Apple.
Apple did own the mobile space, insofar as they set the agenda for years. It was iPhone verses everyone else, and Apple cleansed their clocks. The iPhone was THE default platform for App developers, much like Windows is the default platform for almost every application or program made. However, Apple is in the process of losing this position, hence they are losing the mobile space and their agenda-setting power in it. As Android gains in market share, it will become the default platform. Later, the best and most innovative apps will be deployed on Android first and then only later on the iPhone. This will create a spiral effect, where users will begin to leave the platform in droves.
Finally, I guess I cannot challenge your 5 'ever's" I mean, I might be able to refute 2 or 3, but 5 "ever's" in a row just shows your maturity level enough to anyone who reads this to make it pointless.
Well they're definitely not going to put up an image of the new one. Even if it's just the corner of it.
aren't numbers related to market share?
this is a genuine question i am not being sarcastic or trying to prove you wrong.
I know this is probably taking it a step too far but still...
Could the strategic number 2 (and choosing of March 2nd) mean iPad 2 and/or 2 iPads in 2011.
I mean them saying 2 and then "come see what 2011 will be the year of" does kind of hint at the possibility of 2 iPads this year.
ALSO,
them saying "come see what 2011 will be the year of" means that whatever they are introducing is very significant...
-ipad with a retina display comes to mind....i personally doubt it is possible to release that now (battery life issues, cost, etc.)
-I think they will give a few sneak previews of what they will be releasing this year:
-Mac OS X Lion
-iOS 5

Actually the iPlane is being delayed until July with the iPlane-2 coming out in November. There will also be an iPlane-nano in September.
