iPhone 3GS was 3rd gen. And
Tv 2 wasn't great tho it was a lot cheaper, plus they never update it.Indeed, imagine if they still use 215 mb whilst android tablets out before have 1GB. Pretty disgraceful, when you think about the other things combined making the hardware lagging behind Xoom, galaxy tab (in some aspects).
AND, still the aluminium back, which dents, scratches easily. And those cheap nasty plastic power volume buttons.
They missed it because to them, none of it matters. They only care about tech specs...and in most cases not actual tech specs...just proposed specs of the competition. They're very, very boring individuals.
It should mollify MacBook Air users mad about losing the Apple Remote capability.
Love it when people say honeycomb tablets are crap cos of no apps and iPad has 65000 apps.
I have like 20 apps installed on my iPad and only ever use around 3 non apple apps.
I mainly use mail and safari.
Very happy about the safari update mind, and airplay.

Innovation comes from pushing the boundaries, not holding back because no one else has caught up yet.
Thanks for clearing that up - I'm in the US for the next few months but would like to be able to bring the iPad back home with me after my stay here ends.
The US iPhone 4 was locked to AT&T, right?
Great piece of hardware with an OS that is not at all compelling. IOS works great on the iPhone. On the iPad it's severely lacking, which is why I sold my iPad.
And no matter what the fanboys say, the lack of Flash is a detriment. Period.

you should see the clearance and refurb prices on the iPad 1.... 
I know of 5 people who are going to be selling theirs....
Wow, a glut of old iPads - I'm gonna try to get one for $250...

Considering that Apple's current OS is 10.6.6, supporting 10.5.8 isn't that bad. If you notice, Microsoft is phasing out XP support. IE 9 requires Vista or 7.
More RAM is not a given. A lot of people said the same with the iPod Touch 4th gen. They were wrong.
Unless you see the amount of RAM printed on Apple's site, you will have to wait until someone does a tear down of this new device.
Personally, I think that the iPad2 will have 512MB of RAM. If it has 1GB, then I will probably get one.

Same here. Really I just want to be able to skype with this thing, so now I can. The fast processor and being thinner are just a nice bonus. Retina display is really uneeded IMHO. If you want it, great but expect to pay for this in both money and battery life.
Its just like the ipad was when first out. It takes time for the apps to be made. You can run old Android apps on it too like the ipad.
The "toy" image won't go away because Apple really is pushing towards that demographic. Look at how much they focus on apps like Garageband and iMove, all the games etc, yet don't give us any info on VPN, Document Viewing, and things corp. would use. Thats why the Xoom and other will succeed because businesses will buy them in bulk. I know for us we have iPad users moving to Android based devices due to these concerns.
Yes, the iPhone is hard SIM-locked here. Apple won't release unlock codes on them. The iPad 1 was different. It wasn't SIM-locked, but it used the uncommon micro-sim.
When a company doesn't officially announce something, I expect the lower/worse spec. Same with apple. No major boost to RAM i think.
If people knew what they were talking about, they would know that Android apps SCALE nicely to fit the resolution of the xoom. Unlike when I had my iPad I had to look at a tiny screen for apps that werent optimized at launch...
