Apple needs to look to technology that will reduce weight and of course heat. Battery life is a factor as well. Yet, it's not likely that Apple would take a product that is selling fabulously well, as is, and make changes partway through th…

To the posters claiming they'd like a smaller iPad that was more convenient to carry around I have the following question: Is is the assumption that upon making the screen smaller, the enjoyment of using said device is to remain unaltered?

What is it that makes some think the current iPad is too large, especially for children. I have a seven-year-old nephew who, upon arriving for a visit, invariably asks if he can play with my iPad. Absolutely loves it. Apple already offers a…

It's simple really. Once IOS devices became insanely popular, Flash was doomed. There are too many IOS devices running to be ignored by anyone running a web site. Besides there is a standard that can work on all devices so why support one that ign…

It's customary when quoting to repeat what the quoted source stated, not to change it to something incorrect and then complain about an imaginary mistake. The article states that the iPhone aspect ratio is 3 to 2, so one has to wonder what your poin…

What I think is underestimated are two advantages. One is that the iPad is just about perfect in terms of size. Smaller and it becomes less enjoyable to use. Larger and it becomes too cumbersome for a handheld. The other great strength of this devic…
