The 7 inches iPad could make a nice replacement to my TI voyage 200. Well better start planning the soft development.

Cortex A9-Based iPads, Verizon iPhone, iOS-Based Apple TV Set for 1Q 2011 Launch?

a January release of an LTE/CDMA-compatible Verizon iPhone does not at all seem out of the question. Given the Droids' success, which I would bet a HUGE part of is due to the lack of a VZN iPhone, I would expect Apple to add more US carriers as soon as they can. If the ATT exclusivity ends when the calendar hits 2011, why would Apple give Android 7 more months to lock up VZN subscribers to 2-year contracts?
And while I know Digitimes' track record is pretty poor, Bloomberg and the WSJ have also been reporting a 2011 Verizon iPhone. I think we'll see it in January.

A bigger iPhone? The current one is too big already. What are you guys, kangaroos?
Ignorant comment. It's a different device with a different OS than a computer. It's going to have *what it needs*...not what you're used to hearing as a standard. It's SOLELY about how it performs; not "what it boasts" inside for the spec jockeys. If it doesn't need it, it won't have it.
I don't see Apple becoming a relevant competitor in that area. For mobile devices people look for a quick game here and there. On a console people either expect high end graphics and games (PS3 or XBox360) or a family/party play thing (Wii). Apple is not going to be competitive in the high end market .. they just don't care about gaming enough to be and are way to expensive for the quick family party thing. Besides for serious gaming people will want button controlls .. while I agree it would be kind of cool to have a multitouch screen in your game pad, the real world application would be kind of limited since you would need to take your eyes of the screen, refocus to the pad and then refocus back on the screen .. not very useful in fast pace gaming I would guess.
My guess is that a iOS based Apple TV is more about all the web content available already (ala GoogleTV) and bringing the internet on your TV in the form of dedicated apps for news, weather and such.

7" ipad, in my hand luggage on holiday - would buy it tomorrow. Perfect for reading books and keeping up to date on holiday, but not too big/difficult to hide on the beach when down in the pool, or have in a small man bag when out and about in the evening, not much bigger than a paperback - perfect.
Well, given the fact that it will feature multitasking .. it will should need the 512MB, at least.
I am personally hoping for a drastically better screen, I would like to keep the 10" size, but slab more pixels in there. And I would be all in on a better out-of-the-box stylus support.

Makes absolute no sense!
Apple has developed with the ARM A4 an very cheap own massive platform that is 100% 1080p Full HD capable. Why the hell they should burn millions and millions of $ to port the iOS back to x86 to use the very expensive AMD Fusion platform for the next generation AppleTV?
This rumors are 100% rubbish! They absolutely make no sense. Just very poor guessing to get attention! Poor guys!

Everything is getting faster and faster while my brain at 53 gets slower and slower, my MBP, iPad and iPhone 4 must be taking advantage of my deficiencies, they all seem fast enough for me, 2 or 3 years hence, when I've had me moneys worth, is when Ill change the hardware.
Beyond clueless. The iPad is selling beyond the capacity of two factories to make them. This despite the fact EVERYONE knows this is the Version 1.0 system and "crippled memory".
It seems beyond your being in gross error, the customers for this product are less concerned with tech specs as with system capabilities and benefits. Almost like a team of engineers optimized the thing for it?
Almost.

buy AAPL
"*What it needs*" is 256MB? Come on!!! Wait for the next software update!
I think you should check the meaning of 'ignorant'. I think I have more reasons to call your comment ignorant than you do. My first sentence referred to statements from the article ("256MB RAM in 2011?"). The second expressed some emotions ("Wow!").
If 256 MB is enough, how come that the 2009 iPod Touch has the same? It's from the same company, they run the same OS, but one of them has a larger screen and is apparently magical and revolutionary; and it's supposed to be able to handle a lot of tasks that people currently use computers for.
EVEN if we take the iPad as a large iPod Touch (many argue that it is), a device introduced in 2010 should be an improvement on a small music player.

i won't buy and ipad, no matter how much i'm craving one, till it has both back hd cam like the iphone and front webcam. i'd love to see them make a film-makers version. 8mp 720hd video cam with some kind of optical zoom, even only 5x, stabilization, imovie, retina display and 128gb memory. the 7" would probably be big enough to edit on and very easy to hold/shoot.
"Just over the horizon" is 6-7 months? iPad is only 4 months old an already you are obsoleting it?
Plus it's not like Apple's product release schedule is a mystery these days. It's pretty predictable. But it's not like there is a pressing need to upgrade every cycle. Most year over year upgrades are incremental and not worth waiting for unless you are a month or two out. 6-7 is a stretch.
What about "streaming only" meaning "streams content from your desktop/laptop?" I've never really understood the point of (puny) on-board storage for the AppleTV when I have a computer (and plenty of storage space) on my network. Let me download content to my iMac (either directly from the iMac or remotely via the AppleTV, iPhone, iPad, iPod) and then that content streams to the AppleTV. The AppleTV could easily be the size of an Airport Express if its only duty is to stream content from other devices on your network.
agreed on most of the part what you are saying, but you really count how many of us bought PS3 just for blu ray players (during those days when blu ray players priced like $300 and above)
the internet experience i am talking about; full fletched browser experience with out any limitation or interface variations;
may be i do not know; i watch lots of live sports which requires silverlight or flash; at a times i use macbook and connect to TV via HDMI than use PS3.
it is really difference like post iPhone browser experience and pre iPhone browser experience.
There will be no Verizon CDMA iPhone. If there is any truth to the CDMA chipset rumours then my prediction is that it has nothing to do with the US market and nothing to do with phones.
It is possible that Apple is about to launch a CDMA iPad for the Chinese market with Wifi and that Chinese specific Wireless standard. That might also explain the rumours about the 7" screens as they might be looking to launch and even cheaper product there.
Verizon and Sprint are too small at this point compared to the international market.

Very true but it's a simulator and I know from experience that it does not implement APIs exactly like iOS. Although developers would have to retest for the new platform anyway.. it helps to minimise the redevelopment effort.
RetinaPad please. I'm using the iPhone (4) a lot more than the iPad now just because of the fantastic display. Can you imagine the iPad with 2048x1536. No visible pixels. Print quality as good as glossy magazines. Then the paper and shelf magazines will be calmouring to get their content onto the iPad.
They'll just put in 512mb because then they can go on and advertise it as, "we doubled the memory!" for two years. Although it's probably harder to find/get someone to manufacture 256mb ram than 1gb
