Um...that's like complaining that your PS1 games look like crap on the PS3.
You move on into the future like everything else. Those games were made for the iPhone/iPad1&2.

I'm sure iPad 3 will use retina versions of iPhone apps. They will look much better even when 2x zoomed...

I'll still be holding it rather close.
Aren't any of you people near sighted? Retina display is ideal for persons like me who have no choice but to hold things close to read them (because glasses/contact lenses are for distance, not reading!!).

and the product sounds more elegant because of his accent.
I like Ive, but he rambles way too much and his ******** dictionary is five times as thick as Steve could ever dream of having. He needs to stick to design, he has no stage presence and his hyperbole is off the charts. I can't stand to listen to him verbally vomit about Apple products and the "emotions" they invoke in users and how they love their products. It like he thinks people love them like their kids or pets. The only one close to Ive in hyperbole is Forstall. That guy steals ideas and acts as though he was the genius who thought it up and then gets all wide-eyed about how great it is. Since he has been in charge of iOS it's been nothing more than ripping off big features from other platforms or Apples own devs. Forstall has no shame and his smug smiles presenting others ideas as his own drive me up the wall whenever he is on stage. Schiller is really the only one I can tolerate, maybe Eddy Cue. Cue looks like a nerd and would be fun to talk to. NONE are the salesman Steve was and none should emulate him.
You either need a new eye doctor, or a new prescription.

Very simple, Apple moves on. Just like every other new product of theirs, new features are exclusive to newer devices.
Take a look at this recent article: http://www.ihelplounge.com/ihelplounge/2012/02/apple-requires-retina-screenshots-in-the-app-store-.html
It's easy to see where Apple is going with that restriction. Once devs up the quality of their apps and retina apps pretty much take over, it's simply history repeating itself. Scale up retina on a (supposed) iPad 3 display and this is what you get:

Hmm...It might be time to sell the iPad 2. I am feeling that Apple may keep the iPad 2 as an entry level model, as it is still the best tablet on the market. iPad 2 at $399 (Or maybe even $349, that would cause crazy demand and drop used market prices like mad), iPad 3 at $499+.
I don't think I will be able to resist the amazing display.
Also I won't have any way to test hi-res graphics on the display except for on the iPad itself. a 1920x1200 monitor won't be able to display the full resolution simulator.
Retina display MBP's anyone?

Form Factor of iPad3
What's interesting is how similar this LCD is in size and design to the iPad 2 LCD. The attachments shown are nearly identical -- which makes you wonder how similar the device will be on the outside to the iPad 2. With this ultra resolution -- knock off's will be difficult -- so the cost of these displays is going to be very high -- so replacement cost may go up quite a bit for iPad LCD repair damage.
But this is likely to be a huge consumer winner for Apple. That screen will be amazing.

I suppose that currently a faster dual would be fine, but there is certainly a quad coming with the iPad 3 or 4. Perhaps more RAM would be more important right now. I'd like to see the iPad 3 a lot faster than the 2, which was a big improvement over the original. I think in the near future we will have quads with the same battery life that we have now. They did it with the Macbooks, they'l do it with the iPad.
At this time the Retina display and LTE would probably have a bigger impact on performance. I'm all for getting as much as I can for the same price points. The iPad 3 should be outstanding.

Um, no, that's just how lenses & eyes work. As a nearsighted person, I CAN read with eye correction present but it's uncomfortable & results in migraines. The older you get, the more you'll appreciate the imperfections of human eyes & the limits of eye correction.

I think you'll be able to see the difference.
I picked up a friend's old iPod Touch and held it next to my iPhone 4S.
YUCK
Those interested by the "Retina Display" notion for the iPad should check out my last year blog on the topic:

Near sighted means you can see up close without corrective lenses, but not far away. You seem to be claiming the opposite.
I'm near sited and require glasses for distance vision, but reading with my glasses has never caused discomfort or migraines in the 31 years I've worn them.

Huh? There's this thing called farsightedness and contacts/glasses do help with it.
