I wonder if Alex Lindsay has something to do with it... (Note: I'm not implying anything bad about it, Alex and his team have done great work with iPads in education in Africa, maybe officials took notice.)

I want one indeed, but I don't need one.

The latest iPod nano (7th gen) already has Bluetooth 4.0, but it just serves for audio output purposes. Apple could release a simple software update that brings communication with iOS devices, to display notifications, weather and even make calls …

Apple already knew that. (Topsy)

It's like winning the lottery!

Crazy theory : Maybe Apple wants to help the nascent third-party 4K monitors market grow faster by not making one themselves until next year?

I also believe in the possibility of an "iPad Pro" next year, but expecting mass produced 4K screens at 12.9" for 2014 is wishful thinking.

Totally makes sense, Apple has trouble getting mass produced 326dpi 7.9" screens for the iPad mini retina, I'm sure they'll have no problem getting 12.9" screens at 500+dpi next year! /sarcasm

I suspect that in Japan the low-end portion of the Android market is a relatively much smaller segment than in the rest of the world. Japan's feature phones has long been "smarter" than feature phones in the rest of the world, and Japanese are use…

I will refrain myself from discussing with people that have some twisted understanding of screen resolution/density. Some people just don't seem to understand how it works and those discussions always end up with circular logic arguments.

Let's hope Apple doesn't try to make this into the ultimate Nielsen ratings box like Microsoft is trying to do with the Xbox One. The whole TV industry in North-America (and many other places in the world) is built around a very archaic survey sys…

It's simple : the only kind of market share data that matters to consumers is ecosystem usage. And for those who don't care about the ecosystem, any kind of market share data should be irrelevant anyway.
