Besides the upgrades that I mentioned, I really can't see what other things they could possibly do in one generation upgrades. This would be a huge upgrade compared to going from iPad 1 to 2
"A Chinese citizen is MORE likely to commit suicide outside of foxconn than inside foxconn."
This is sadly true. They are also far more likely to end up in Prostitution, gambling and other criminal activities.
If your lives choice is to stay on a farm, or go to a city to work in a factory in order to help your family out, what do you do if you hate it?
One for another thread I think

A larger battery would be required to power the additional pixels in the retina display along with the additional power of the rumored 4 core cpu. So they make the device a little thicker as a compromise. New features, same battery life, slightly thicker.
Look, Foxconn has about 800,000 employees. The US suicide rate is a bit more than 10 in 100,000 suicides per year. The US total in 2008 was about 36,000. With the same suicide rate, a bit more than 80 suicides per year among 800,000 employees would unfortunately be just the "normal" number, the same as in any US town with 800,000 inhabitants. The actual number is far, far lower. You only hear about this at all, because (a) Foxconn makes stuff for Apple, among many other companies, (b) people are awfully bad at maths and statistics, and (c) some people just have to find something negative to say about Apple, no matter how stupid it is.
It could for some people. If we view gadgets the same way we view fair trade coffee, humanely raised chicken, and Nike sweatshop running shoes, then it could impact some people. Some, being approximately four or five people.
That said, at some point we should hold tech companies to the same standards as the H&Ms, American Apparels and Nikes of the world.
Apple's shame:

Steve Jobs and Tim Cook should be ashamed.
Guantanamo Bay would be a more desirable existance.

It's shameful that the article mentions that nets were installed to catch any would be jumpers AND that some employees had to sign contracts stating they wouldn't kill themselves.
Sounds like a fantastic place to work at.
Our company just bought a Keurig coffee machine for the employee lounge. Can't imagine what the office atmosphere would be like if they nixed the Keurig and installed nets outside our office windows.

I went to the hassle of logging in just to downvote this tripe.
The GarageBand app doesn't know how hard your tapping the screen - it measures how much the iPad moves when you hit it.
Will Definitely Get One
If the iPad3 has Retina display and is still at the $500 price point I'll definitely be getting one! I like the iPad2 but for reading magazines and other things it's not where it needs to be. Retina display is where it's at...once Apple rolls it out everything else will look like Atari pixel art.

Always wondered this myself. It works surprisingly well, however they accomplished it.
If this is true, and Apple releases textbooks alongside, I might cave and buy one, save lots of money on buying physical textbooks
To your comment on the SGT: why did you make this point? It has nothing to do with the iPad 3 nor is relevant to anything else you wrote in this post. I award you no points.

OMG! I think you have this reversed. It actually goes:

Figuring that most people pick and choose which "causes" they support, I doubt anyone actually does. You're always engaging in something that has a downstream effect. We just like to ignore inconvenient truths if it gets in the way of something we enjoy.
i'm pretty sure the gyroscope sensers how much the ipad moves when hit, and changes the sound in garageband accordingly.
not 100%, but i remember reading it somewhere
One of these precious shiny little toys will be reserved for me as soon as they announce them
Really, they are utterly unnecessary toys for someone with one desktop Mac, two portable Macs and an iPhone, but - what is a tech and design lover's money better spent on?

Makes no sense. If you're drumming on your iPad running Garageband, most likely it is in a stationary position, positioned on a flat surface (like a desk).i'm pretty sure the gyroscope sensers how much the ipad moves when hit, and changes the sound in garageband accordingly.

However, since you claimed to have read about it elsewhere, please provide your source noting that not everything that is on the Internet is true.

thanks captain bringdown.....
Ok, so we know it's going to be thicker. The question being is the increase in thickness due to a larger capacity battery or a Retina screen, both, or simply to power a faster higher clocked processor?
At the moment, some sites seem to be saying the increase in thickness is due to the Retina screen, while others say it's just because of a larger capacity battery (no Retina screen).
Going thicker is so NOT Apple, so the question is, why? Apple wouldn't bother increasing battery life (purely as a selling point) if it meant a thicker iPad. So this makes me think it'll have a Retina display but also a bigger battery to compensate for it (reason for thickness increase), a net result of the same current battery life, or at least slightly more.
If it's the 'iPad 2S' and only has speed bumps (& better cameras), with the reason for the bigger battery is say, to power a higher clocked processor, i'm going to be sad.
My realistic bet is:
-iPad 2S
-Faster (1.?GHz Dual-Core / Quad-Core)
-Bigger battery
(although this won't be boasted about as it's purely to compensate for the new power-hungry processor)
-No Retina screen
(this will be the future iPad 3 main selling point, as it's overkill for an 'S' model upgrade)
-HD front camera, 5/8MP rear.
I waaaaant to knooooow

No, we don't know anything. We've only heard random rumor and conjecture, some based on reason, some not so much. But it's all just a guess at this point.
Do you really "laugh out loud" about a suicide? Wow. Parties at your place must be full of Larry David style moments.
