New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

"All iPad software just works" … with tiny text that gives you eyestrain?

ok I'm confused now brb buying a surface

Does it have the same number of pixels as a pre-retina iPad, just in a smaller space?

yeah, that is what they're saying

That's got to be close to retina, then?

I dunno, someone do the ppi calculation for me here

Yeah, and the pixels were way too large on the original iPad, so I think this is going to be good if not retina.

ok I gotta get on a conference call, liveblog for me will ya

my question is whether that new version of iTunes is coming out yet, and if it is awesome or what

10 hr battery

LIGHTNING CONNECTOR WHAT IS THIS OUTRAGE

Anyway, that's what the rumours said and it makes sense – then it can easily run iPad software without any rescaling. But, as I say, it may not be very readable or usable.

(readable or usable on some existing apps, I mean – not for ones written for it)

The UI is still so uninspiring with those little icons so spaced out and all. Needs an update pretty bad.

video just showed it side-by-side w/iPad 2 -- I think it's going to be fine, readability wise

iOS UI needs something new and innovative, yeah

I doubt iPad mini is going to scale the text the same was as original iPad. You'll end up with fewer characters per line?

might be talking out my ass here

no, it's exactly the same layout.

so: http://www.apple.com/itunes/new-itunes/

going to stick to every other generation, sounds like I'll be buying an iPhone 5s and iPad gen 5

gbx that's been up for a couple months, they have to be saying WHEN right

"October"

ohhhhhhh, i just saw it for the first time cuz you mentioned "new itunes"

it'll prob be announced today

Starts at $329

Yes, if it's the same layout I don't see how text isn't going to be uncomfortably small on some existing apps (that don't allow control over font size).

joy division?

... are they completely removing the list view from iTunes???????????

iPad mini starts at $329, iPad 2 at $399, iPad fourth-gen at $499
(apparently no longer offering third-gen iPad)

basically 3rd gen was a between-generations blip, sounds like
I guess I own an iPad 2s

so wait, they're still selling the ipad 2 but not the ipad 3 eh

that price is too high to kill Fire/Nexus

iPad 2 is for old people and kids I guess, it's the cut-rate iPad

The UI is still so uninspiring with those little icons so spaced out and all. Needs an update pretty bad.

live tiles on windows phone are cool, but also kinda necessarily too big and generic looking, and icons are meaningful in their own way too, theres a balance between wanting to give people a feed of infos and letting them deal w/the program they want, not really sure what the best solution is

uh mh i HAVE an ipad 2

I meant for people buying them TODAY, s1ockster

ipad3's main improvement was the retina display, right, and maybe a performance bump? so it makes sense to just have the ipad4 supplant it, and leave the ipad2 as the low-end version

i also have an ipad2 u_u

maybe we're just... old.

idk its a better thing for a lil more money, itll hurt those other tablets bad imho, people def want ipads more

iPad 3rd was a performance bump and the retina screen, sure.

I bought the first iPad on release day, wasn't going to but was with my coworker at the Apple store over lunch, so now I feel compelled

presentation is winding down..."one more thing" y/n

$130 more? Takes it out of slam-dunk xmas certainty imo

that's it over

they never really do one more thing anymore do they

... are they completely removing the list view from iTunes???????????

i would like to know this

one LESS thing

so the new iTunes totally is not making it through their QA process so they're going to shuffle it under the rug for another few weeks, is what I'm hearing
