I find it strange that so many people are harping on "ugly". Isn't it the same look as all other iOS devices? All have a grid of brightly colored icons. The new design lends itself better to subconscious use. Fewer button clicks are needed to…

My prediction is that this is a knee-jerk reaction and initially self perpetuating meme that will soon disappear. Almost all of the complaints are that it is ugly. Only a couple have hit upon true usability issues. However I believe that the vast m…

It seems unlikely that apple will ever sell mobile devices with slightly different screen sizes. Apple realizes that optimal interfaces are only possible when they are designed specifically for the hardware on which they will run. For example, iPhon…

Ironically, if apple were to give away that software, it would mean that I would have to pay for it. Right now I don't have to pay for iWork because I don't use iWork. All giving away the software does is spread the cost across all customers rath…

So what's the deal with the clock speed compared to the iPad2? Some publications are claiming it is unchanged while this article says it was bumped from .851 to 1 Ghz. EDIT: The two charts disagree with eachother. My theory is that one of th…

Note that telling someone they're wrong while mischaracterizing their position and then asking them not to reply, is not terribly logical. If you don't want to engage someone in conversation, it is better to ignore them than tell them they're wrong.…

Interesting, the iPads were apparently stockpiled in Middletown PA. I also live in Pennsylvania but fedex indicates that the iPad left PA to go to IN and then get shipped back to PA. Mar 9, 2012 10:24 AM Picked up MIDDLETOWN, PA Future …

The new iPad(3) has a display with better color saturation. Even if playing SD video, it will look better on the new iPad. "Better" is completely subjective though. Some people will say it is worth while other people will say it is not worth it.…
