Marvin, totally agree with all you are saying, please don't misunderstand. Yet I don't think Apple thinks like this. For example to me it still seems rather odd for Apple to offer 2 sizes of iMacs (or 3 earlier) and each then in different su…

At this point is it not more likely that this 'console' is the new iTV, iPanel, or whatever the Apple TV device will be called? Valve merely gets a headstart to develop for this device. If you combine all recent rumors then this Apple iTV wi…

I wonder why Apple did not manage to introduce a single liquid metal product in the last 2 years. Surely they must have played with this technology even quite a bit before that, before they decided to license it in 2010. Does it really take 2+ y…

Isn't the battery still being conditioned during the first few charge cycles? Aren't the on-board electronics and charge software still adapting to the battery and vice versa? I think it takes a couple of charge cyles untill the % figures become…

I guess we agree that in order to get the screen much bigger while keeping the iPhone as small as possible, getting rid of the home button at the bottom would help a lot. But how to do it? I envisioned a two-fold approach: 1.) 4 and/or 5 fi…

Is is quite likely that Apple will try to standardize the current screen size madness of 4 sizes (orig. iPhone, iPhone doubled, orig. iPad, iPad doubled) down to just two: orig. iPad, iPad doubled. In that sense I kind of expect the next iPhone t…

To add to sunilraman's post. While it's nice to have a higher resolution for crisper Latin character texts, I find that especiallly with non-Latin texts this is actually vital. Here's a mockup I had done for the iPad 2 and new iPad (it did…

Perhaps this discussion is missing the point. Isn't the iPad much more than just a movie viewer? The different uses really dictate the screen aspect ratio. It is a compromise for all these uses. And I am glad it is, because that makes it much …

@jragosta: Gee, sorry if my tone insulted your eyes... I did qualify my post by saying that this is the only exception I can think of. You might be able to think of others, but sorry I cannot think of another more likely one. That's all I meant …

Hmmm, not quite getting this. So it comes down to a US Patent Office Blunder? Issuing the same patent to two different companies? Does this happen often? And in the end who is to blame? Isn't it the Patent Office's job to avoid this? Can yo…
