I was going to post an image of Apple's competition using a tablet but really it's them at a drawing board... as in back to the drawing board... but none of the images I found seemed right.
Asus Transformer Infinity image should do just fine...
A bit lower res (still plenty for that screen size)... how rest of the hardware compares will be interesting to find out.
Though... after using original iPad and original Transformer, I really don't see much point of such resolution on those screen sizes.
Though... after using original iPad and original Transformer, I really don't see much point of such resolution on those screen sizes.
I believe that iPad'ish screen sizes will one day be considered the lower end of the size range for devices called tablets. I'd buy one right now at twice the size, regardless of weight .
However, I believe too that the new display on the iPad will be a big selling point and deservedly so.
Something that impresses me so much about the iPad is the precision of actions enabled by the screen. While I realise that Apple doesn't build the panel, Apple has a deep heritage in this aspect of device design and quite likely has contributed technology to the art employed by their manufacturers. The connections are probably deeper than we imagine.
Oh man, we have an old school console fanboy here. I miss the days where tech sites and forums were debating between which console was better based on the quality of their games (rather than the strength of their IP portfolio )
Anyhow, as Tallest Skill has already pointed out, this response is so far from correct I'm not sure where to begin.
First of all, Nintendo and Apple are actually pretty comparable. Both companies have a notoriously dedicated fanbase, sell devices for a profit in industries where that isn't usually the case, have had ridiculously monetarily successful years, and have brought about the idea of making things easier for the average user. Ironically, both companies' fans tend to come under fire from the lack of caring about "technological" aspects, which is usually retorted with "it's about the experience." (for example, the wii is technologically lightyears behind its opponents, yet has 1st party games that often rate higher than their counterparts' best).
I'm not sure what you define as "no support from long term gamers". The only market Nintendo doesn't have control of is the newest market (the 16 year olds that think CoD is the greatest thing ever). Older gamers will still often swear to Nintendo simply because they're still here (unlike Sega and old Sony series'). How many gamers do you think still play their original Xbox? Or even their PSX to a lesser extent? I'm willing to bet less than 10% of those that still play their N64/SNES/NES, etc. Hell, Nintendo can STILL sell their systems based on porting older games.
While I won't comment on the Wii U, you're either lying or misinformed if you think the 3DS isn't selling well. Remember that Nintendo DS thingamajig that pretty much shattered sales records and brought about this "casual gaming" craze? The 3DS is outselling the DS when you compare their life cycles. The 3DS also hasn't even seen the release of the Super Smash Bros installment that has been promised. If that game drops and the 3DS doesn't break nearly every gaming sales record ever I'll eat my shorts. That series alone sold the failing Gamecube, imagine what it will do to an already growing 3DS? NOT EVEN FACTORING IN THE FACT THAT IT'LL BE ON A PORTABLE DEVICE. You must be one of those people that thinks because Apple isn't winning market share it's failing, right?
I don't fully agree with you. Nintendo doesn't have loyal fans as much as loyal age group.
I am 44 and still active gamer on PC and PS3 (PS2, PSP and original PS before that). I had some exposure to Nintendo in 8-bit era but got bored with Mario and company early and moved to other franchises. Most of my friends - heck, all of them - did the same, but some of them are returning to Nintendo as their kids have grown up to "early gaming age". I might get Nintendo as well in a few years, when my kid gets there - no way I'll give him/her to play BF3 or Uncharted or Resident Evil or... - but I have no doubts he/she will grow out of Nintendo like I did.
Regarding old games still being around - I kno some people who will, on occasion, run their ZX Spectrum or CBM64 emulators and have a go of Manic Miner or Jet Set Willy... outside of retro-nostalgics, I'm not surprised that kids will play old games as well. Not so long ago I let my friend's kid play Rachet & Clank 1 on PS2 and Rachet & Clank: A Crack in Time on PS3, and to my surprise, after just a few minutes on PS3, kid wanted to go back to PS2 game. Even if gameplay was mostly the same, he found PS3 version to complex (visually) and off-putting, compared to much more cartoonish PS2 version. He was 5 at the time.
Why don't you stop making things up? Where did I say that anyone didn't deserve LTE units?
Read the link I gave you. Or Google 'FaceTime 3G'
And please stop commenting on things that you don't understand and that you're too lazy to look up.
I will concede that there are many things that I don't understand, such as why you are so rude.
You malign (pretty much) everyone outside of the North of America for being disappointed that the iPad will not provide them with LTE, stating (correctly) that it is not Apple's fault that LTE is so fragmented.
You feign privileged insider knowledge, stating that those countries on other frequencies don't have a large enough market base to make it worthwhile for Apple to support them.
Then you whine about your cellular tariff limits suggesting that Apple didn't include HD facetime because it would be a bandwidth hog. I retorted that Facetime isn't even officially supported over 3g, thus invalidating your arguement. In an attempt to demonstrate your superiority you provide a link to a site that says that you can use ICS over Wifi to bypass the Factime restrictions. Now please tell me how two people can conduct a facetime conversation if each of them each owns one piece of (unadulterated) Apple hardware and have no other hardware capable of acting as a WiFi access point.
Before accusing people of being lazy and stupid, perhaps you should read your own posts.

Look up 'straw man argument'. Where did I malign anyone for being disappointed?
I simply stated that Apple made it clear which markets were covered and if you buy it without checking to see if your market is covered, it's your problem.
I also stated that it's not Apple's fault that LTE is so fragmented - which is absolutely true. Why in the world would you think that it's Apple's fault?
I also pointed out that in the past, Apple has started with the most readily accessible markets and later added new markets as time went on (see the iPhone 4 or 4S introductions, for example) and that the same thing would probably happen with LTE.
And I've told you how to find a way to use FaceTime over 3G. I'm not going to go on a wild goose chase to add all of your other new restrictions.
Apple's Japan store site has a link to Softbank (the carrier and I believe importer), but the SB page only has info on the iPad 2. Their news feeder also has no mention of the new iPad, more than 24 hours after the announcement. My local shop also has heard nothing from SB, except late this afternoon they got word of a price top on the iPad 2.
Last year, SB toed the line for the debut and changed prices for the device twice just hours before it was to go on sale.
It would be really nice if SB would "get with the program".

Let me argue for them.
Your wrong, misguided and biased because Nintendo sells more consoles then anyone so there is no way your feelings are relevant, matter, or make any sense. Only people who are right are the ones that love Nintendo. Only they are thinking rationally, or have an opinion that counts, because Nintendo sells more games than anyone. Did I mention Nintendo sells more devices? Obviously they must be awesome! Anyone else that believes otherwise is biased, but it isn't their fault, it is society that made them that way (Poor, weak minded fools).
In conclusion, no one should ever have preferences or opinions differing from my own.

Do you tell people that you were raised in the wilds of Africa by apes following the death of your family? I ask because of the ease with which you seem to be able to "re-invent" the past.
You bandy around accusations without bothering to understand the context in which fellow members post.
You condescendingly state that any Apple customer that is confused by the fragmentation of LTE is a victim of a failed education.
You dismiss dissenting voices by highlighting improbable scenarios whilst trying to imply that you speak from a position of authority.
You lay claim to posts that don't exist.
You cry foul and then imply that the poster has said something other than that which they said.

You just described your own posts, not mine. Fortunately, most people (other than the paid shills here) can see through your nonsense.
Ermm... I would like to see option 2. Unfortunately Apple have gone for the unmentioned 3rd option of only supporting some LTE enabled countries.
My preferred option however would have been multi frequency support rather than locking customers to a given network.
But that does mean that you have to phone the other person first and tell them to put their phone into wifi sharing mode and then grab a second compatible Apple product whilst you do the same.(assuming that both of you are out of range of a wifi network). The jail break option seems like less hassle.
Apple makes it simple. The way people want to use it makes it complicated.

It took a little time, but Softbank finally decided their stuff and started taking orders Saturday morning. Apple also started Wifi pre-orders today (yep, not the day of the announcement). Sadly, not many people seemed to know about it and my local shop wasn't crowded.
The NEW iPad is 3G in Japan. As I can transfer my 3G plan, I went on and ordered. It seems difficult to wait...
In the video Phil Schiller states the iPad's iSight camera has an "Apple designed ISP." I know that stands for Image Signal Processor but that is where my knowledge ends. Can someone fill me in on specifically how this processes data, what kind of processor HW is used (e.g.: 33MHz ARM11), and how might Apple have designed it or improved upon a stock ISP?
No, the sentence implies that nothing was copied because of some earlier work.
No it doesn't. It explicitly refers to the Move controller and the Wii. Also given the context -- it's a reply to your assertion that Sony copied the Wiimote -- you'd have to read very selectively to misconstrue it as a claim that Sony never copied anything from Nintendo. Incorporating ideas from other console manufacturers is common in the game industry, singling out Sony is irrational or plain trolling.
No it doesn't. It explicitly refers to the Move controller and the Wii.
Which is the overarching subject. The primary content of the sentence implies that because earlier work was done, nothing needed to be copied and therefore nothing WAS copied.
Your educated guess isn't very good. You're pretending that you know more about the iPad 3's performance than Apple does. That is, of course, total BS.
The fact is that LTE only reduces the tablet's life by 10% - so LTE on the iPad clearly isn't the battery life killer you're whining about.
But feel free to provide evidence (rather than your uneducated guesses.
Here is where I'll eat my words. It does appear that the new display and maybe the A5X is what is drawing a lot of power. And the radio chipset is the MDM9600 which is a 40/45 nm chipset that's been used since last year. Last to know is whether the A5X is a 45 nm or 32 nm part.
That's a lot of high power drawing parts if they are using a display that requires 2x the light power, an MDM9600 chipset which is known to eat power, 2x that of mature HSDP chipset, and if the A5X is a 45 nm part, than wow. 42 Watt-hour battery indeed.
