maybe 4.2.6 has everything that will be in 4.3...wifi hotspot is already on Verizon's version
That's funny, everyone was going on about the mystery port on the top being a Mini display port or something like that, and from the very beginning I was saying it was the Microphone. Some people just love to speculate wildly rather than being rational about it.
No - the speaker grill can be seen in some of the rear pictures here : http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/
Ha
Another reason to avoid Verizon.
Slow network (3Mb versus 14Mb (theoretical)).
Lack of concurrent data/voice.
Lack of 'real' global coverage.
...and now lack of IOS Updates.

why would data/voice hinder the software? when a GSM iPhone is on edge it can't do both voice and data yet the software works the same...explain please
iPhone4 and iPad2 have cameras to shoot movies on. Surely this makes perfect sense.
Well, it doesn't to me
I thought that iMovie would allow to edit not only movies shot by iPad/iPhone. I mean who would shoot movie on an iPad?You do know you're grandfathered in with unlimited data, and buying a new phone won't change that unless you specifically tell them you want a cheaper tiered plan, right?
I think you're overreacting. Are you also upset that there's no photobooth for iPad1? I think they're sort of pushing a paradigm where the iPad camera is going to be the source for the videoclips being edited. Thus, if you put it out on the ipad1, you wouldn't have anything to edit.
That's my hypothesis, anyway. I'm not sure if there are technical reasons behind it. There might be--maybe any video that you might shoot with a P&S camera and import via the adapter wouldn't be in a codec that iMovie expects to work with? I'm not sure how it works on the iPhone4 (I don't have one). I don't know if iTunes converts some of the movies if it needs to, before uploading them to the phone.
However, I think it is somewhat reasonable that a video-based app would not work on a device with no video input. I know that it CAN be possible to edit video on the iPad (Macs can edit video without any real-time video inputs), but given the extra steps this would require (worst case: shooting video with something else, syncing to Mac, syncing to iDevice...), maybe they just didn't want to go there.
If you think you're obsolete, look at the iPhone 3GS when the iPhone4 came out (this is my situation). The 3GS didn't get iMovie, but it was far from obsolete. Most apps coming out still work with the original iPhone 3G.
3G is already over 2 years old; most cell phones, even smart phones, only have a 2-year life cycle, if that long.
My guess is that it has to do with the faster processor. And if you bought an iPad 1 with the expectation of having iMovie on it at some point, then I don't know what to tell you.
Any word on the rear camera resolution yet? Been looking for it but not finding it. Is it safe to assume it's the same as the iPhone, 5 megapixels?
I've been looking as well, I can't find it. It's certainly not on Apple's site, either.
It seems the same as the iPhone 4, but I'm not sure. They said the rear camera can do 720p video and has 5x zoom and the front facing is just VGA.
It has to be somewhere in the software that the OS doesn't try to use data and voice simultaneously. They have to implement a universal iOS that knows which phone it's on. It's possible, but I'm guessing it's just not done yet.

Can someone say it with me ?
FUH-RAG-MEN-TEH-EEE-SHION.
Then again, 4.2.6, 4.3 I don't think it should pose too big of a problem in terms of development.

A few other tidbits I found: http://www.midwesternmac.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/some-ipad-2-hidden-gems
5.1 surround sound through the AV connector is VERY interesting to me.
Also, for microphone and line-level (guitar, mixers, etc.) inputs on the iPad 2, check out this article (just updated): http://www.lifeisaprayer.com/articles/photography/iphone-4-ipad-external-mic-audio-input

Except people could have bought brand new iPhone 3G's from Apple as recently as 9 months ago.
I'm presuming it will be the same as the iPod Touch (nothing more than 720p, and not great in low light). (reference).
I just did some reading in my car using the original iPad, with direct sun shining on half the display. Interestingly, I had absolutely no difficulty reading the sunlit half of the screen.
I really doubt the iPad 2 will be any worse.
Thank you! I'm glad someone here is using their head. Why would you want to put iMovie on your iPad1 to begin with? You can't save movies from anywhere. The only way you can get movies in to the camera roll is to sync them from iPhoto. At that point, just use your computer to make the movie.
3G is pretty different than 3Gs(which is still very much supported and being sold with new two-year contracts).Except people could have bought brand new 3Gs from Apple as recently as 9 months ago.
