I ordered the new iPad and I cannot wait to get it!
I've always wanted iPad but after using iPhone 4, the iPad 2 display looked so pixelated so I waited for iPad with Retina Display.
The fact that Apple could make it happen is just amazing. A lot don't seem to appreciate the enormous complexity involved in making Retina for a 9.5" display. It requires MORE back light. It takes FOUR times more processing power. And it requires MORE power.
Yet Apple is able to pack SO much power inside iPad - TWICE MORE battery energy - than its previous batteries without doubling the weight. That's a stunning achievement.
In fact, if Apple makes iPad 2 with the new battery, it would probably last for at least 20 hours.
Kudos to Apple!

Kudos to Apple! No that's not it. Most of us do. I have no gripe or beef with Apple. My thing are those that troll and aren't looking at the entire picture here. That's it. Apple's technology has been a benefit without a question, but so have the others as well as helped give Apple that extra boost when they (Android for example) jumped on the smart phone boat. It's like I'd pointed out to the person that I was replying to before the thread got turned around, tablet systems are not dated. People will continue to use them until they don't or can't use them. Most of that has to do with the other competition making their own version, if be better or (that's the choice of the consumer to make) not. Once we see people doing this like we have when the Android phones came out, then you'll see them abandon their older tablets, similar to those that got rid of their non smart phones for Android and Apples. And proof in my point, most own Android phones.

ABI: Apple iPhone tops smartphone market as Android suffers its first decline in share
Friday, January 27, 2012 · 3:24 pm · 17 Comments
The 4th quarter totaled 150 million smartphones shipped, representing a record high penetration of 36% of the 409 million total handsets shipped worldwide. Apple was the star this quarter with 37 million iPhones shipped for a sequential growth rate of 117% (128% QoQ). Apple’s results made it the number one smartphone OEM in the quarter and for the year.
For the first time since Android was introduced, its market share declined from its 3Q high of 52.5% to 47.0% in Q4. Despite Samsung’s estimated 33 million shipments as the head Android OEM, Apple’s iPhone 4S cut Samsung off at the knees and outpaced Samsung’s highly coveted 280% YoY smartphone growth.

"The smartphone market crowned a new leader in 2Q11, and its name is Apple," said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC's Mobile Phone Technology and Trends team. "Ever since the first iPhone launched in 2007, Apple has made market-setting strides in hardware, software, and channel development to grab mindshare and market share. Demand has been so strong that even models that have been out for one or two years are still being sought out. With an expected refresh later this year, volumes are set to reach higher levels."

Walkley continued, “Apple generated a remarkable 80% share of estimated Q4/11 handset industry operating profits (vs. 56% in Q3/11 and 48% in Q4/10) with only 8.1% global handset market share. Demonstrating the strength of the iPhone’s profit share gains during Q4/11, Samsung’s share of industry profits declined from roughly 26% in Q3/11 to 15% in Q4/11, even though Samsung’s share of Android smartphones increased from 35% in Q3/11 to 39% in Q4/11.”

All it takes is a little googling and the facts are all there - perhaps not the facts that some in this thread wants but the facts nonetheless.

It's somewhat like the whole Windows/Mac thing. I'm sure Android will "win" in the end, but Apple will be the (or one of the) most popular manufacturers and will remain the most profitable.
There's easily room for both platforms in the market, and room for both Windows Phone and RIM, actually. All the fanboy rage is kind of silly.

As you write - VERY SILLY. However, stating cold FACTS is not a fanboy thing - it is just setting the record straight - but of course by the haters that is taken as a "fanboy" thing.
I've always wondered what it is that drives these people. Jealousy? Insecurity? My youknowwhat has to be bigger than yours?
This thread is a shining example why I stopped contributing on the forums.
