Anyone think there will be a new iPad like product this year? Maybe a mash of an iPad meets MacBook air? Seems strange apple didn't up the storage of the ipad2.
Got a tip for us?

The new MacBook Air is the mash-up of the iPad and a MacBook Pro (Ultra Portable with instant on, plus full Mac OS X)
Not quite.....
Just wondering if anyone thinks there is a reason apple didn't follow what they usually do and double, or at least increase the storage on the iPad?

Doubling the iPad's max storage to 128 gigs would involve using two 64 gig NAND chips. This is simply not feasible currently without eating into their usual profit margins. Maybe next year?

The memory chips only come in 8, 16, 32, and 64 gb sizes. And they like to pair equal sizes together. 80 is pretty much impossible.
