Making "retina" display in a 10"+ screen is not easy, or it would have been done years ago. The panel manufacturers were the ones holding up the works. Now they can do this and the flood gates are about to open; from tablets to ultrabooks get ready for displays up to 2560 x 1440/1600. The downsize is this takes far more power to run and as we've seen in iPad3, battery is 70% larger and battery life will be no better if not worse.

adapters working really well, they will cost you some money but if you are buying ferrari will you be worry about tires replacement cost a lot?
Why would I want adapters, when it should have been built in years ago. Ferrari actually comes with tyres from the factory, so that is not a good argument. They want to tie you down to their iTunes crapware or cloud for moving content around.

actually I tested battery on new ipad, they are amazingly good. i see no difference with ipad2, and i could use it over 10 hours non stop. it is great device, you just have to change your opinion about cards and files.... actually it cost me not very much to get all this on ipad too .... hd out also works fine with adapter. Some apps like hbogo blocking it, but this is not apple problem.

I wouldn't call the battery amazing, it would be amazing if it were the same battery as in iPad2, but it's not, it's much larger and heavier, so battery is run-of-the-mill. No new tech here.
Adapters are a pain for a tablet. I want convenience, so everything should be built-in.
Anyway, I won't ever be supporting Apple, so I could care less what their products do or don't offer.
Retina display is nice, I wish they would offer some equal for powerbooks. Here in gern´many it is 1000$ for 64MB and G4 (additional to the 35-50$ a month for the provider). Means 1600 $ for the first year. For a nice gimmick. And somebody here really moaned about additional 300$ for a camera body?

You certainly care enough to comment about it so you must care far more than you think! Compared to a year ago, not too many other tablet models out there. So Apple must be doing something right or the competition is very wrong.
I have the camera connection kit for my iPad2 and it's pretty darn convenient: tiny and takes all of 1 second to plug in. Of course I wouldn't mind if the iPad had a built-in SD slot but then all my cameras use CF cards so I'd have to use an adapter anyway.

Honestly speaking i see no difference in size and weight and i own both of them. very minimal difference and noone cares what is inside. Apple are pushing you to think differently, no files or file system to users. Think about, lots of people who might like photos dont know anything about files....They dont even speaking about available memory size in specs, same idea!
Ipad today is ferrari of this sigment of market, and it is not big deal to buy adapter for such "magic" device

You aren't referring to Fred Miranda, who happened to move the post to the correct forum, are you?
