Am I the only one who thinks it would be weird for Apple to introduce a 1024x768 iPad only to introduce a "Retina" version a year later? I suppose they really wanted to get the iPad under $500. (A 9.7" 300dpi display sounds expensive.)

But given how much they're pushing the Retina thing (oh, buzzwords) on the iPhone, and given how they're pushing the iPad as an alternative to print (even moreso than the iPhone) it makes sense.

Retina display, FaceTime camera, capacity doublings and double the RAM (to match the iPhone 4, not exceed it) sounds like a pretty comprehensive update to me. If they did all that, I'd be happy. I think some of you might be setting yourselves up for disappointment, hoping for 4x the RAM and SD slots and all...

But I've been wrong before.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
