Hey Apple, instead of releasing a new iPad every 6-12 months with nothing drastically changed about it, how about actually MAKING drastic changes and RELEASING iPads in moderation... you know, give people time to save and buy one and enjoy it before coming out with a new one for people to rage about because they saved long and hard for the now older iPad.
Just a thought.

Way to go back to your roots, Apple. On Wednesday, the uber-popular tech company revealed that it would be releasing the newest version of the iPad tablet to the masses (the release date is set for March 16.) And while Apple fans and tech enthusiasts alike were desperately searching the internet for the latest news on the "iPad 3", it turns out they had gotten something wrong: the name of the gadget. Because it's actually just called the new iPad. Er, what?
Apple's new CEO, Tim Cook, revealed the name of the product -- and the gadget itself -- in an announcement Wednesday in San Francisco. But other than the name, what's different about "the new iPad"? The biggest new feature is "retina display." That means the new iPad has approximately twice the resolution of the iPad 2 -- the clearest, crispest display on the market. It also needed a beefed-up quad-core A5X processor to power the retina display and keep up with visually demanding games.
Prices will run from $499 to $829, depending on the hard drive space and whether you want 4G. But back to this name business. Do you like the name of the new iPad -- or is it kind of confusing?

Now, we won't know how to distinguish the new from the original nomenclature (unless you buy one). Even iPad2S would have been understandable (like the iPhone 4S).
In any case, I love what Apple has done to sharpen up the iPad2 and along with it, they have improved apps and iTV. This company is really leading edge and I hope to see more futuristic stuff coming from this dynamic group of developers and engineers.
They make crap, the only reason they have survived is due to outstanding advertising and marketing. Thanks to Steve Jobs, that being said we was still a self-centred twat who bullied anyone who came into contact with him.
All their products are obsolete, mainly for the fact they are too expensive you can get something equally as good or better for much, much cheaper.
Whether it be laptop, tablet, mobile or MP3/4 player...
It's clear you're an idiot, but, who cares....you have a Mac, so obviously you're better and know your stuff.
My main problem with Macs is the fact the software selection for both applications and games isn't nearly as varied as the selection for Windows. Yet I can get a PC for much cheaper that has the same specs of that of a Mac, how the hell does that work?
Apple sells over priced fashion accessors, that is it... you are buying a brand, not quality.
And there is a reason why there are so few virus out their for the Mac, mainly due to the fact the hackers and script kiddies want it to spread their viruses to as much users as possible and PC users vastly outnumber those of a Macs.
The Windows isn't perfect, i never said it was. I also agree it has many problems. that being said, it's obvious you're simply regurgitating stuff, so, please.... explain the "lame operating system".
You're been brainwashed by the lies of the Apple ads it appears. Please continue to fumble in ignorance so i can laugh at you...
Actually I'm going to invest into a 2.5 - 3K custom built multiple monitor gaming PC... does apple do that? If they did it would probably cost me twice that.
The argument about cost is the fact what you are spending for an Apple product is not worth it. Especially when you consider you are able to get something for much cheaper that does the exact same thing.
I have/had an Iphone 3gs and a Ipod (older model)... never understood what was so great about them. Then i realised there wasn't anythugn great about them, because you are not...

Hahahahahaaa... good one, if you actually believe it's better, then please explain to me how so. Quickly, find that Apple Ad on youtube that tells you everything!
You're idiocy fan-boyism is just shining...
