I suspect that the only supplier of the high-def screen on the iPad 3 will be Sharp. IGZO is essential to allow for the higher resolution without too heavy a price paid in terms of weight and/or battery life. The only aspect of what Apple will a…

The US is such a mess that it could well be that Apple will launch their initiative in a country like Canada first. There are a lot fewer players in Canada at every level and far more potential for deals to be struck. Success in Canada would open…

It's rather apparent that there will not be an 8GB iPad because that's just not enough memory for a device like that. It's as if some genius editor at the publication in question thought that it would be too boring to report that Apple would con…

Makes sense to offer the current iPad at $399 and the iPad 3 at $579. Millions of people are using the iPad 2 right now and are perfectly happy with it. For those who want the latest and greatest or who need the extra resolution, there's the new…

The sad part of all of this is that it wouldn't take a dramatic increase in the price we all pay for our toys to dramatically improve the lives of the people who assemble them. It is unfortunate that for all the rhetoric we love to put out on issues…

All Apple has to do is sell a $399 iPad which at this stage would be rather easy to do. Make the current iPad available for that price and just keep on selling it while the iPad 3 takes up the mantle at the current price point.
