If you own ipad 2 just dont upgrade any updates that slow down your ipad like they did the iphone 3g so people would be like omg my iphone is dyning i need the new one , no you dont , you just need apple to stop sabatoge pruduct that work just fine ..

DO you have solid lead on this?  or just just guessing. It is foolish that Apple would do such blatant acts.  It is not difficult to get caught with heavy fine and class lawsuit.  Their products are brilliant, they don't need to do that.

Once you see the new iPad in action regarding the resolution, quadcore processor and 10 hour battery life, you would probably change your mind and want it...

Sorry .. but Photoshop (the full version) does not run on any version of the iPad, let alone iPad3. Can't wait for this to happen, though. The big issue: when?

If you need the full version of Photoshop to run, what you want is a Macbook Air. It's almost as small as an iPad and will run Photoshop just fine.


The iPad is more like a super convenient digital portfolio, browser, email client, and portable contract generator, with a few other 'toys' to keep you occupied during a flight or while waiting for a client to show up, or downtime. That's how I use it, anyway. It's enough most of the time, but no it's not a 'full fledged' (desktop replacement) computer.

If only the new iPad had three times the resolution of the old one, then it would be a good match for the new D800.

It actually has four times:

The Retina display on the new iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 44 percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1 million pixels — in the same 9.7-inch space. That’s four times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and a million more than an HDTV.

I don't know about Verizon, but AT&T is going to be getting rid of unlimited data plans. Your grandfather just died.

Whoever owning iPad 1 or 2, Samsung, Blackberry Playbook (which sucks btw), Sony or any others clones should think to sell them and buy this one

Just a thought!

I have an Ipad 2 and a Blackberry Playbook. I had the Ipad first, then bought the Playbook because I like my BB phone so much. Now my Ipad 2 has not been used for a month, yet I use the Playbook daily.  I prefer it to the Ipad, so after carrying both for 4 months, the Playbook is the winner for me.

Many people, some I know personally, reported issues with the iOS 5 updates and 3gs series phones. Made them extremely slow.

I still use an old iPhone 3G. When updating to 4.x it became quite slow and finicky. Things like delays when entering key strokes etc. Yet no way to easily go back.

Yes I know you can save out IPSW from TinyUmbrella but I run a clean phone, never jail broken etc.

Although Apple have adapted much Open Source, they are nor open to retro grading in case of their errors.

Photoshop will be awesome on this.

I don't even think you can use photoshop on this.  What is under the hood?  Does it have enough processing power, RAM, Graphic Card, etc... to make this suitable for photoshop even if you can edit on it? 

I think I could put $500 into a machine that would be much better suited to editing images.  I spent just over $1,000 building a computer that would have cost me at least $5,000 if it were an Apple product.

I never owned any Blackberry products but heard a few friends say they dislike it after switching to iPhone and iPad. Honestly I'm not a fan of Blackberry either.

Well if you're happy with Playbook and iPad 2 that's your choice dude. But if I was you I would sell at least one tablet and get new iPad

I have a 1, and my wife has a 2. So I am not anti-iPad.

The resolution will now catch up to their competitors. The Android market is now outpacing the iOS market. They have not come up with a game changer, unless you are an apple only person. They have come up with an update. The iPad was a game changer. This is an update to a good product.

I would watch for the next wave of Android tablets to get really good. I switched to an Android phone and would never go have an iPhone now.

I think you've been drinking Android Cool aid..=*^)

You should perhaps read this article from Tech.pinions:

A couple of excerpts:

Every Android smartphone owner who goes gaga over their somewhat high resolution screen should thank Apple. The Retina display kicked off the trend of higher resolution phone displays. Once consumers saw, and are still captivated by that screen, it became very hard for a device to be successful at the mid to high end without a high resolution screen.


The same will now be true of tablets. There will now be a resolution race to catch up with Apple’s Retina display on the new iPad. Which you absolutely have to see to believe. There has never been such a high resolution display on a mobile device and seeing such clarity and image quality on a bigger screen changes the experience with the device in a way I never imagined."


and

Apple on the other hand, has what I now consider an insurmountable lead with iPad apps and it will be at least two years, if not longer for other ecosystems to even get close. Even if they did Apple won’t stand still and two years from now their software ecosystem will be even bigger and stronger.

The iPhoto demo alone on the iPad was one of the best software demonstrations I have seen in some time and perhaps the best example of the value of touch computing to date. And by the way its $4.99. If nothing else Apple proved that with software the possibilities are endless with this new category of computing. And hopefully now it is clear to the masses that the iPad is a personal computer and not just for consumption. (Teaser: more on that in my column tomorrow )

So how do others compete? Honestly, at this point in time I am not sure. Apple’s vertically oriented strategy gives them such an advantage that makes competing with them, especially in tablets, extremely difficult.

i've done edits on my iPhone (and iPad) using Snapseed and other tools that i loved so much and then couldn't recreate using photoshop on my desktop.  art is where you find it, i guess.

As I understand it - in the US both Horizon and AT&T will allow it - if you pay.

Here in the UK - Jess and I are on Three so we can tether anytime using our 4S' - and no extra cost - we're on unlimited.

Jess' mom has no internet at home and simply use her iPhone 4S and use bluetooth to tether her iPad2 - works perfect - and fast - and no extra cost for an internet provider..=*^)

Yup. I've done things with Filterstorm I was unable to exactly reproduce on my mac. No serious editing is done with the ipad, but for drafts and photos for social sites it's a great tool.

Why do you say that? I honestly do want to know, not as a shot at the playbook.

I have had BB's before and like them. I like the size of the playbook but honestly saw nothing great about it.

To me, Apple has raised the bar high with the new iPad and the demo of iPhoto yesterday was great. Today I heard some friend and co-worker complaining about it, saying they are dissappointed. Probably cause they already own an iPad 2 or 1 and malbe they were expected a new case design and thinner or whatever other reason. Well if you own iPad 2 or 1 and fit for your needs then fine. But once they see the new one on Mac stores, they will probably change their mind...

Btw, I'm not against any other brands (buy whatever you want folks) but to me, the others brands are just cloned, they don't invented or revolutionized anything, they just copied the ideas. As a matter of fact, most people will always remember the original owner not the clone version which sells a bit cheaper. I'm also not sure what the others competitors will do, but Samsung will cut&paste the Retina screen ideas, make it a bit better, different size of course. As far as I can see, Playbook, Sony, etc. will die soon, their price will drop down...

Since you had BB can you tell me what exactly why did you buy it (its strength)? Some people will buy it due to the price cause it's cheaper?

I disagree with this.  I haven't seen any Apple app that doesn't have an equivalent Android app.  True, there are some specific, big name apps that are Apple only (I'm glaring at you, Instagram) but there are Android apps that do all the same stuff.  And, since there's less of a barrier to entry, there is more experimentation going on in Android apps. 

It may not be the same as the average consumer's perspective, but from my perspective, Android has the superior app ecosystem.

That's not what those who deal with tech issues every day think - but you are of course free to have your opinions.

I suppose that's why the Android app store is said to make between 7 % and 25% of the money the Apple app store does:

I fail to see how what you wrote has anything to do with the points he made. What does app sales comparisons between the two platforms have to do with there being equivalent apps on both of them?
