Re. Stylus.


If you want to use a stylus with your iPad/iPhone there's no one stopping you at the moment. Just make sure you buy a capacitive stylus and it'll work perfectly.

The problem with current capacitive stylii is that they have a very broad, not particularly pen-like tip. They need to because the screen cannot accurately detect anything smaller.

Check out this stylus. Don's stylus replaces the pen cap to a Sharpie, a Bic, or a Pilot Fineliner (not all three -- you pick the kind of pen cap you want). The sketching artists in the video don't seem to have any problem at all using these styli. The pen-cap is a pretty cool metaphor to shift back and forth from sketch-book to iPad.
 
I'm not hoping for much -- shed some more weight, add siri, up resolution.

Better front cam would be nice, but I realize there are limitations there because a higher rez cam would be thicker. LTE would be nice -- and it should be more available by the time the iPad3 ships.
 
iPad 2S. Slightly faster with slightly better but still crappy cameras.
 
No doubt camera will be improved as that is quite shockingly bad.

If the iPad 3 doesn't *at least* have a retina display and HSPA+ then 2012 will be the year of the Android tablet.

Android have ways to go to be on apple's level in terms of tablets IMO.

I don't think they have *that* far to go. The newer Android tablets are sporting a slightly higher resolution screen, equal or better processors and HSPA+ and even LTE in some cases.

The only thing holding them back is still the inferior app selection and the fact that the cellular models are still treated like phones for some ridiculous reason--meaning no pay as you go data that you can turn on without activation fees each time.

I'm pretty certain that the iPad3 will have a retina display though and I'll be getting one if that's the case. :)
