People with iPad love them. People without cant understand why anyone would even buy one.
$399 ipad 2 and retina displays for $499 mean that apple is now competing on specs and on price. How will windows 8 tablets be priced? Will oither vendors offer this retina display too? |

There's not much difference in resolution from 5MP to 8MP. And in the case of small sensors increasing the resolution can be a detriment to picture quality when it comes to noise.

I wouldn't call 60% small.
That's true, bigger is not always better. |

I fail to see a purpose for a rear cam on a tablet. Front cam for video chats, yes; but rear cam???

Of course we don't know if that is because demand is very high, or supply was low. The US store still has all models stocked for a March 16th delivery. The French and German stores are saying 19th March. |

I have a friend who attended their kids school musical but forgot her camera, so recorded the whole show on an iPad; it worked just fine. Are regular folks likely to be doing this if they have a camera or phone handy? Probably not. But if you cast your mind back a couple of years, Apple were being roundly criticised by all and sundry for leaving cameras off the original iPad; then when the iPad 2 had cameras, they were roundly criticised for them not being good enough. Now the cameras are decent, they're being criticised for having cameras at all! No pleasing some people, lol! |
