Apple Said to Be Targeting Fall 2014 Launch for 12-Inch iPad Focused on Enterprise

You obviously haven't touched one of these in a few years, or read anything about them. The file system is managed by the apps. You don't need to see it. Your photos are already on your mac.

If this doesn't run full Mac OS, it's useless as every other iPad.
Try to copy an image from your Mac to your iPad (using the moronic iTunes)
and do something with your image on your iPad.

Hardware is amazing, but their iOS is just purely unbelievably bad.
How can you not include any file system? How am I supposed to deal with my
files? Save a copy under each student written application?

Apple, please stop thinking all the users are stupid and bring back
full functionality to your great devices! So sick of your limitations.

the xServe. But that was taken out behind the barn and mercifully put out of its misery.)

As someone who still has about 10 Xserves running nicely, the Xserve was never in any misery. It still isn't - it was as rock solid of a 1U server as you could buy from anyone.

Unfortunately, that's just not Apple's market, so the volume was incredibly low, and didn't justify their expense in creating new versions. Unfortunately for me, and other enterprise customers, that is.

I just wish that they would make something else that is somewhat rack mountable, without having to take a saws-all to the handles on a MacPro5...
 
Just my two cents, there will not be a 12 inch tablet. It will be a touchscreen MacBook Air.

And it won't run iOS or OSX. It will be the first Apple device to run Apple's new single operating system that will work on all of its devices.

The reason Apple moved to the 64 bit processor in its iOS devices is that they are going to move to a single operating system that will scale to whatever Apple device it is running on.

No, it won't.
 
While I agree that interoperability between IOS and OSX would be high on Apple's agenda, i seriously doubt that they would consider anything other then "PLATFORM OPTIMIZED" sollution for tab/phone and PHC OS platform..To merge would be akin to making compromises and i am not sure that they are required anyhow..It would be interesting to see how apple manages to get MS Office onto its ENTERPRISE oriented tabs..

This is why my iPad mini is my last iOS tablet. If they don't release an osx tablet, I'm going to pick up one of those windows 8.1 tablets. Yes, windows is junk compared to osx but I'll have micro sd storage, USB slot, file system access, font scaling, ms office, etc. I'll probably wait for a hybrid windows / android tablet.

I don't think its entirely imposible for Apple to try to get Office into a tablet without fully committing to OSX as the OS for it..It would require some re-working, or perhaps licencing it from MS (Who knows) but i do agree an enterprise oriented Tab should have OFFICE as a basic option. Unless apple does a magical turaround and comes out with an office competitor that takes over the market which isnt happening any time soon.

I've owned several Surface tablets and all of them crash all the time, blue screen and one was infected with tons of malware and trojans. Needless to say I sent them all back and now urge everyone to avoid these terrible products. iPad is the right choice for all kinds of users.

You realize that Windows 8 cannot BSOD? The BSOD doesn't exist anymore...so it seems like your full of crap :D

Well, it can. If it runs into a bad hardware issue, it'll BSOD like there's no tomorrow. Same way that OSX will kernel panic in the same situation. In fact, Windows 8 gives you a whole new blue screen, with a frowny face of doom thrown in to really make it hurt.

But that doesn't change the fact the guy's lying through his teeth.

That's kinda now what I meant.

Yes Windows can crash, But I mean that classic BSOD has been gone for about a decade now.

Now you get a far more appealing error message. Apple's white screen of Death isn't bad either.

As Ive always said " Apple: Crash Different "

Or at least crash less informatively. Even the new BSOD tries to give you some clue as to what went wrong.

Like IRQ not less or equal. Comeon, that's self explanatory. All Apple does is tell you sorry in 5 different languages.
 
Wtf?

Not true. Those apps now load and perform twice as fast because the processor has almost double the bits to work with. Here's how it works.

32-bit can only load 32 words (aka a bit) a second. Think about how many words are posted on your Facebook wall? I bet there's hundreds. That's why iOS Facebook takes so long to load up on any pre-64-bit iPads.

But 64-bit can load twice as many words a second, which means it automatically cuts load times in half just by being 64-bit.

See, 64-bit is innovative. It's better than more ram (which only stores gigs, not words), or a better graphics card (I already have all the colors I'll ever need on my current iPad), but I could always use faster word loading. Apple did it again, and blew away the industry with yet another never before seen technology, and now everyone else is gonna copy their double-bits innovation.

You are incorrect in all of your above statements on bits / words per second. Research processor architecture before you post such jibberish.

I laughed though. ...
