Anyone wanna bet the next iPhone will have 1GB of RAM?
Does it need it?

Pretty much what was expected; its an iPad 1.5 in iPad 2 clothing.
Saving my pennies for the real followup in a year. Until then, I'll have to make due with this iPad 1.
I just wanna know what you do with the smart cover when it's not being used to cover it. None of the videos show anything but it being ripped off. Why would I take it off and then have 2 separate devices. Anyone know if it sticks to the back or something?
Why? Do you see yourselves carrying that huge thing around to take pictures? Of course not, it shouldn't be even a question.
That is not the point at all... But if you make a product that is inferior across the board than other products and is more expensive... Yeah nobody should buy it.. Regardless of what it is...
If you are going to offer an inferior product, then you need to compromise on price.
You can't say I am going to offer you a car just like the toyota coralla that has 2" less leg room and gets 10 miles less per gallon and is 5,000 more. That is a non-starter.
It doesn't matter who makes the relative products.
ATD had the brightness set to 75% while watching movies, engadget had it at 65%Like how ATD said battery life is worse, but engadget got about an hour more of video playback. That seems like a big disparity, wonder how ATD tested it.

pcmag said it only got 3 hrs 56 minutes of playback.![]()
512MB Ram should shut up everyone now..... ALSO gotta love uncle walts reviews lol, the guy never wants to just call it like it is with apple at times
explain why?
They can't. These spec hounds are all the same. I'm old enough to remember:
Them: "My new computer has a full megabyte of RAM!"
Me: "But you can only use 640 K because of the DOS ceiling."
Them: "Yeah, but I've got a full megabyte! A 40 megabyte hard drive too!"
Me: "But you can only use 32 of that because of the DOS partition."
Them: "Yeah, but wait till Joe sees my new computer! He's gonna die!"
dunno why people are compalining about 512mb ram, its more then enough, dont compare it to android, cause the bloat software takes up half the memory.
512 is more then enough
Seriously, where can you hold the device if it doesnt have edges/borders. ITs just a stupid design decision to remove the borders around the screen. Stop writing when you have no clue. Your hands would cover the actual screen instead of the bezel.
Alsu usb 3 and thunderbolt require a whole intel chipset. Come an. Serioulsy dude.
It crashes all the time. Maybe you don't use it.Have you ever used Flash on Windows? It runs pretty flawlessly, CPU usage almost never spikes over 15% even in 1080p, Ive never seen Flash cause a single crash on Windows.
The only flaw is the security holes Flash has.
Try a $1000 Sigma.I know, right! I want the same quality photos my $1800 Nikon takes!
People keep saying that as if it is bad. Pretty sure the iPhone & iPod Touch are very good machines. If you want one that is bigger, the iPad exists.I never thought the I pad weighed a lot in the first place, its just really is a bigger iPhone at this point
I've seen one PR picture that shows a guy reading from the iPad2 and his cover was covering the back of the iPad. I'll see if I can find the pic again.
Thanks that'd be awesome. I'm thinking about going to buy one tomorrow, and just would like to know if I should expect to have a cover for it right away or look for a 3rd party one.

Second this.
I think that the reason that the 512MB RAM is a totally moot issue is that you are only running one program at a time. This thing is not a Mac, you don't need 8, 12 GB to run your 20 editing programs at once and multitask. So long as that 512MB is able to load what's needed for every program in the App Store (one program at a time), video playback is smooth, and slowdowns are generally minimal, then who cares what the actual number is?
