Please stick a speaker on the top so we can have stereo sound in landscape mode? Getting silly not that the haven't done it already.
What sweet spot? Maybe if you have hearing in only 1 ear, then the audio from the ipad would be sweet, as I have to functional ears, the audio coming from one speaker sounds really bad.
The only logical reason is that Apple Inc runs on a climate of fear, the staff internal to Apple Dev departments live in a state of fear of Mr Ive!
The ipad is a hunk of junk, proves once and for all the total lack of technical ability of Apple Inc.
They cannot produce a tablet capable of stereo speakers, and with the almost impossible ability to add data to the ipad, no external media access via mini-cards, no mini-jack input.
Apple Inc is great at selling, they totally fail at producing anything of a high technical spec.. A 5 year old can design and build a better tablet, with stereo speakers and external card reading ability.. This is nothing Apple should be proud of... More junk from Apple!
I still don't know why I need a tablet AND a laptop AND a smartphone. My Macs and my wife's Windows laptop suit perfectly our digital entertainment needs along our smartphones.
Not really. I've never spent a second thinking about it, let alone complaining. If I needed stereo I'd plug in headphones. As it is, it's perfectly fine for videos or netflix in bed.
...and that is different from the way it works now in what way? most of the time I hold it in landsacpe I block the speakers already....I know, I'm holding it wrong ;-)Wonderful for when you're grabbing it landscape as most people do. I'm sure you'll get a nice hand massage.
there's a reason why tablets don't have front facing speakers.
Try to hold this in landscape. give me a break.

internals aside, i don't see them doing anything interesting with the ipad anytime soon
It may be partly due to the disappointing sales figures. I predicted the hype for iPad to slow down in the next generation

I agree.
The iPad (like the iPhone and iPod) is a mature product that has reached almost perfection in its form and functionality: it's light, fast, has retina display, awesome battery life, great camera, etc. So... other than to progressively improve the internals year after year, I don't see how Apple can possibly "revolutionize" this product, nor I think it needs to.

I don't like the speaker holes at the bottom, it just crawls my blood.
I don't mind, that they didn't change the basic design. It truly is a great design.
TouchID will be a welcome addition to iPad.
Also when, someday, it is integrated into Apple laptops.
I seriously hate all those passwords.

No LED flash on the back? What's the point of having a camera there?![]()

I think they've gotten to a point there isn't much they can do differently on the outside. future iPads will show improvement with internals and software. so pics like this don't mean much
I don't either. Many times the iPad sits on my lap like I'm reading a big book and the speakers are muffled because they're sitting against my lap.
I agree.
great camera, etc.
First world problems.
The iPad Air is light enough that you can handle holding it without supporting it against your lap. Also, if you're reading a book on it, you're probably tilting it back on an angle, revealing the speakers enough to hear sound. Also, why do you need sound to read a book? Music, you say? Plug some headphones in. What's that? You shouldn't have to put headphones in your ears to listen to music on your iPad?
