Dual core SGX543 dramatically boosts iPad 2 graphics - Page 5

Basically, it doesn't stick. That's what we're both saying. It has to be helped, which means it doesn't stick. I expect it to have a minor attraction when it's held vertically, and it does. But that's so weak, it won't stay if it's even moved the slightest. And it has to be bent around the edge to do even that. We're discussing something that's irrelevant, because it's so useless.

The cover seems best when used as a stand. For that, it's better than the old one, which I had to cut a bit off the edge so it would lean back a bit more when slid into the slot in the back.

I'm wondering if we'll see cases that will have the left edge cut out so that the cover can be used with them. Apple has stated that manufacturers are free to do whatever they wanted to do with the magnets in the iPad itself, so I suppose we'll see cases from others using them in some way. It should be very interesting to see what some others come up with. This offers even more possibilities than we had with the first model.

I'm going to put four clear vinyl feet, about 3/8 wide by about a 1/16 thick on the back of my iPad for now. I'm thinking about putting them slightly over the rounded portion of the back where it sits when in the typing mode, and cutting a small portion off the circle to square off that edge. This will at least keep it from touching a surface when the cover can't be rolled over the back, something that's a hazard anyway, as it may pick up small bits of sharp matter that could possibly scratch the screen.

No, that is incorrect.

If your HDTV is not capable of 24p, then your Blu-Ray player will just give you a 2:3 telecine type pulldown for interlaced output at 1080i.

This is similar to DVD players able to do the exact OPPOSITE --- they take the interlaced signal, inverse telecine the video --- and recreate a 24p frame. No resolution changes.

Battery life only 2 hours? No. Standby life was already clarified. Those who complained about it may be right, but others find it just fine. But if I got people opinions about the ipad from the forums of anandtech, I would think that the ipad is crap because they have a overly negative view of apple.

Sales volume or not, the Galaxy tab has 4.5/5 stars rating on Amazon. Is it better than the ipad or ipad2? No. But I doubt with that rating they have that absurd return rate.


Did you actually read the source? Everything he said was not based on any of his own testing.


Since I made no claims about the Xoom one way or another, that's a strawman argument.

Yeah, thanks for proving my point.


Uh huh. I guess that puts melgross, solipsism, DED and all the people who got high off their benchmark article in that category. Funny how we only quote from Anand when it suites DED when Anand, as a complete apple user, went into great detail about the antenna gate issue, mentioned the unpolished state of the original ipad, or his other issues with apple. Unlike DED, I'm going to get the REAL picture of apple's products, not from an apple apologist.

So you can take your "bullshit" and keep it right in your mouth.
