iPad 2 LCD for Sale Already? iPad 2 to Include Vibrating Motor?

Kinda funny how defensive some of the iPad owners are just cause something newer and better is on the near horizon. So what if people are making comments about waiting for the 2nd gen. If you like your original iPad then why is it necessary to make comments about waiting for Gen 10??:eek:

Sorry, that makes absolutely little sense.

Show me a post in this thread where a 1st gen owner took the first shot at 2nd gen hold outs?

This silly war always begins with cheap folks trying to justify why they didn't buy or couldn't afford an Apple product. Then when the next release shows up, they jump up real quick and use this as their excuse.

Of course, while they are busy trying to make themselves feel better, those of us who couldn't care less have been enjoying our products for the previous 12 to 18 months or more.

And don't go making the mistake that a response to a silly post implies caring, I don't think I am alone, but I really don't care who buys what in this little forum. But the guys who don't buy, sure do care what we buy. Weird how that works huh...?

So goes the cycle...
 
The 11" MBA GPU can push at least 1.7 times as many pixels as the rumored iPad and the MBA only weighs ~1.5 times as much as the original iPad.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 320m could run two 30" displays.

Perhaps we will get vibe feedback when typing in iOS5? I sure hope so. It would explain the iPad getting the part

I'm sure be reads these to get his adulation fix. He's got the worlds biggest ego & requires a lot of adoring fans. I give him credit for influencing so many people, who live to hear his every word which validates their worship of Apple.

It's an amazing feat to create a cult like group as massive as he has. Apologists, believers, and those whose only requirement is an Apple logo to convince them to buy, he's the worlds best CONvincing salesMAN. You've got go admire an achievement like that.
 
People who buy 1st generation ANYTHING are idiots... Well color me idiotic!! I bought the kick@$$ iPad when they came out and have loved everyday with it.

At first my wife and were going to buy two and the decided to buy the $829 model and share it and get iPad 2 when it came out. She's happy to have the 1st one and give the geek (me) the new one. Cool girl.

Anyway ... it's easy to paint yourself a genius for waiting when the 2nd of anything comes out, but I'm glad I've had the chance to enjoy this device that is making history. I'll never sell it.
 
I am assuming that the color option of white and black was the reason Best Buy has 2 SKU numbers for the wifi model at the same price.

I totally agree with you, and especially with apple's product lineup, it's almost impossible to stay ahead of the game - so enjoy technology today - don't wait for tomorrow.
 
A vibrating motor? No, that one's too easy :p

In that same vein you could state Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Sir Richard Branson, heck any successful business man. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about Apple products. So, why are you here? Second, maybe people like Apple products because, well, they're great products. What's wrong with that?

PS Not everyone lives and dies by Steve Jobs, that's a stereotype (and a funny one, I loved the MadTV parodies on Apple and Steve Jobs, check 'em out on YouTube).
 
more ram? faster chip? higher resolution? oh no! what's wrong with the current resolution? the ipad is fine, but to become a mass market it has to drop in price by 33-50%.

ipad 2 should have a cam for skype and a thinner, lighter design and an usb jack. it would also be nice if the price would drop to 299 euro/us$. and as we are all individuals: what about a more colorful design? black bezel, but the rest it silver, black, orange, blue or red?

Interesting find. Everything certainly seems to be lining up for two defining releases in the iPad 2 and the iPhone 5. Glad I held off on the iPad last year and upgraded my laptop to a MacBook Pro instead. Also glad I didn't jump the gun on my contract so I can maybe switch to Verizon come June.

Looks like 2011 is stacking up to be a major year between those two and OS X Lion.

Do you invite yourself to other peoples parties in real life so that you can be a downer there too?

It's one thing not to like Apple products, no one really cares.

It's a personality disorder to troll Apple boards in order to try and ruin the fun others are having. Get a life.
 
The point of vibration is so your phone can communicate to you when it is in your pocket and the ringer is off or you are in a loud environment. Don't see why this is necessary on an iPad.
 
The rumors of this device are getting wild. So far I can remember:

• 4x resolution (doubled length and height)
• Dual Core processor
• Gyroscope (was this a rumor from a ways back?)
• Vibrator motor
• Dual Cameras
• Better speaker
• SD card slot
• mini-USB
• No home button
• Expanded gestures
• White version

... for $499? I have to see this.
Bet I left out a few rumored enhancements, too.
 
With all this talk about this extremely high-resolution iPad display, there are so many articles about the processing power needed to run such a display.

But is it even possible to built a 2048x1536 9.7 inch display?
 
White?

What is Apple and/or Steve Job's obsession with the color white? If this turns out to be an actual product, it would be stupid and ugly as hell. The iPad looks elegant and the silver and black motif is the epitome of cool. Need no to trash this with a desperate attempt to sterilize everything der fuhrer Jobs.

Well minus resolution and mini USB i don't see how it's not possible.

They'll up resolution for sure, but to the amount being wildly rumored now? I am still not totally convinced. Seems like some sacrifice in battery life would have to be made....which would suck.

As for mini-USB, I understand the use of the concept, but if something such as the SD card slow was implemented, it would be good enough to store-transfer info. iPad isn't going to be a peripheral-hog or something meant to be strapped to a load of devices. For design simplicity the USB enhancement is baloney. But, who can tell, yet?

Same here. I could gestimate all day.

iPad has plenty of unused space inside, so adding more battery to compensate wouldn't be a problem.

At this point the only really good queston is HOW MUCH WILL IT COST. At 499 i can't see 2048x1536 resolution screen.

On these forums, sarcasm and humour needs to be clearly marked as such. I bet there will be people thinking that what you wrote is what you actually believe, and then they will come jumping onto you.

See what I mean? This poster clearly had the impression that what you posted was not a clever parody on the mindless idiots who cannot overcome their smallmindedness to figure out why people buy Apple products, and who think people have to be brainwashed to buy a nice computer instead of a cheapest piece of **** they can find, but that you actually meant it.

It's two times the resolution; 4 times as many pixels. White version is pure speculation based on one lone Internet image. Expanded gestures is confirmed; 4.3 is already out there. As for the rest, it's worth noting that there's a new revenue stream thanks to the way that Apple is monetizing iOS upgrades going forward through iPad owners. Remember this?

Apple will provide you any iPad OS software updates that it may release from time to time, up to and including the next major iPad OS software release following the version of iPad OS software that originally shipped from Apple on your iPad, for free.

For example, if your iPad originally shipped with iPad 3.x software, Apple would provide you with any iPad OS software updates it might release up to and including the iPad 4.x software release. Such updates and releases may not necessarily include all of the new software features that Apple releases for newer iPad models."

Based on that language, it is not a given that 4.3 will be free. And 5.0 will certainly not be.

Anyone else agree that this would be one sexy iPad design?

Imagine it in black. :cool:
 
Macintosh :-(

I guess we're experiencing another downside of apples business model. When they lose interest, paid updates become stock boosters and innovation ceases.
