Tidbits: iPad 2 Mic, No iOS 4.3 for CDMA iPhone, iMovie and GarageBand Compatibility

Erm... Who doesn't? You make it sound as if it's normal to pay for every update, or to buy a brand new phone with every update altogether. Maybe in ConsumeTillYouDropLand TM, but not in the real world.

After Sales is more important than you might think. Treat your customers like cash cows once you've lured them in might scare them away when they're due for a new device.
 
I think there should be official confirmation on whether the iPad1 won't get iMovie before people make a stink about it. Ram would be an issue if the iPad2 really has more ram. As for feasibility, the camera connection kit is generally how most folks can transfer various images and movies from any standard device that takes them.

Still, it's the GarageBand app that has me salivating the most. A very nice little -on the road- suite. Compatibility with the full-blown software (also meaning imports to programs like Final Cut) seals the deal.

Ha, it better. If the iPad 2 only has 256MB of RAM, it would be seriously limited into the future.
 
I would agree. So it seems the iPad2 might have to have that extra ram, but arent keen on listing that as a feature. Though I did see the new iMovie software page. It does indeed look like the iPad 2 will be the only device to get iMovie with the precision editor. I'll have I use it on the iPhone 4, for now, without it. Though to be realistic, I never really used the iMovie on my phone, in the first place. Not when I only really take the time to do movie edits at home. On the other hand, my composer vibe could happen anywhere, so I'd throw some tracks down in quick minutes.

If I find out that I would be able to do amateur films and score them myself, on the device, fast. I would definitely feel the pull towards the new device. If only there was a way to do things in reverse. Put iPad created content on the iPhone without syncing like you can do from iphone to iPad via the camera connection kit.

that the ipad can't run iMovie. It's only 8 months old and apple are declaring it functionally obsolete regards one of their two new flagship apps.

I appreciate the marketing strategy Apple use, but am really annoyed at the expectation we are to upgrade to use something so fundamental as iMovie on a large screen device which was screaming out for that functionality.

I expected the ipad to remain fully functional for at least two years like the iphone did.

Very annoyed...

I've only had an iPad since Christmas and now it will not be able to run an app released in a week but, a stupid iPod Touch can run it, what a joke. Very annoying.

I don't buy the hardware limitation excuses either; if an iPod touch can run it, so could the original iPad. Both the iPod Touch and iPad have the Apple A4 1GHz CPU (iPod Touch is under clocked to 800 MHz) and 256MB of ram. The graphics chips are very similar as well so, don't give me the hardware can't handle it BS.
 
Wow, interesting to see not ONE APPLE FANBOY said anything about this fragmentation that is going on with apple and its products....

But they are quick to scream fragmentation about Android..

oh the irony...:rolleyes:

There's no reason why it shouldn't be able to run. The iPod Touch/iPhone 4 and iPad 1 all share the same graphics/cpu albeit the iPod/iPhone are at slower clockspeeds than the iPad 1. So why again can it run on a iPod Touch with 256Mb of ram and a slower processor and not on an iPad 1? The real kick in the balls is going to be if the iPad 2 has 256Mb of ram.
 
Found this tidbit in the Arstechnica article about the ipad:

"Apple representatives also confirmed that iOS 4.3 will be available for the original iPad, and that the new apps (iMovie and GarageBand) will work on the original iPad as well. "Obviously you won't be able to import video to iMovie in real time on the original iPad," one rep told us, "but you'll be able to do that through the USB camera kit. Probably."

Any word on display performance in bright/outdoor light?

How about you? Do you have any ideas on how to improve that? As far as I'm aware, aside from shade, there is nothing that can be done about that.

What fragmentation are you talking about? Developing for the Apple ecosystem of products is the easiest damn thing in the world of development.

Verizon iPhone users, learn to live with this, when you see an iOS upgrade, the release for Version phones sometimes goes out as long as six months.

This is in fact, completely wrong. This is not 5 years ago when they were control freaks. Today, OSs get upgraded pretty close to release date. If they are reputable companies with good track records. The only company that had issues was Blackberry (RIM). Their stuff was sent back all the time, but that because they were crappy OS builds that made the phones worse. I'm pretty sure VZ has had 4.3 in testing for a while now. I had a droid and never had to wait much longer than Googles releases, and that was on the Original Moto Droid way after they stopped "supporting" it.

The insistence for Verizon to keep their own internal QA is what kept the deal dragging so long. You are not going to see an updated Verizon ROM til this summer.

lol. I wish people actually knew what they were talking about. I guarantee the update will be out before the end of March

Wonder why Multi-Touch Gestures wasn't included in iOS 4.3...

I was really looking forward to that!

It will be in 5.0 and they will put it on iPad 3 in September and say that the new retina display on the iPad 3 offers more mutlitouch capabilities so it won't work on the original ipad. It will work in limited capacity on iPad 2.

But it will work on iPhone 4

Time to upgrade. :cool:
 
People understand that their old iPhones and iPod touches that can't upgrade to 4.3 still work, right?

I'm still annoyed about the buggy software on my iPod Classic 160GB, but there's not a lot being done about that...

Yeah, it sucks when your less than one year old ipad isnt fully supported, but why do you need to edit video on a device that can't record video? It's only being made compatible with devices that have cameras... iPad 1 doesn't have a camera...

Because Apple sold/sells something called the iPad Camera Connection Kit that I've used to attach my iphone, cameras, sd cards, etc? Just because it doesn't have a camera doesn't mean there aren't extremely easy, already existing ways to get video into the iPad 1 itself.

Welcome to the World of Appletime, where shelf life time is a logarithmic inverse function of actual time relative to the creation of Apple. In other words, as time goes on, the relative shelf life of Apple products increasingly decreases until it reaches obsolete on arrival status at which point the Universe folds in on itself and Apple ceases to exist in the space/time continuum at which point no one will have been ripped off because Apple would have never existed. :D

Sounds like Windoze........they still exist......don't they??

I hope Apple's unique control over its OS proves otherwise. Unlike other mobile OS's whose updates are released by the service providers, Apple manages its own updates distribution. Even if Verizon's approval is necessary, I doubt Apple would have partnered with them if Verizon reserved the right to delay product improvements and cause unnecessary fragmentation. After all, we bought Apple phones --not AT&T phones nor Verizon phones.

And I bought a phone with a black colors back and front frame, not an iPhone.

Verizon didn't get softer on their testing. They just hired better PR.
