No, you were not clear. You are spreading FUD, and your statements are either based on lack of knowledge, or a willfully misinforming.

The fact is, that an Apple store application license applies to all iPhones on the same personal account.

In other words, when I purchase Navigon, it appears on both my iPhone, and on my wife's iPhone. This is the standard practice at the Apple App Store.

Your statements to the contrary are untrue, unless you can provide specific instances. FUD.

(Hint to the impatient: Sometimes people actually take the time to read through posts they're responding to before replying)

Again, FUD. The A4 used in the iPad is most likely multicore - you claim to the contrary was made up. FUD.

The GPU is unlikely to be Mali. Did you read my macrumors reference?

I will quote macrumours again: "The site also makes a dubious claim that Apple is using the ARM Mali 50-Series GPU for its graphics hardware which would represent a departure (and potential downgrade) for Apple from the PowerVR chips that they've used in the past. Apple is a licensee and major stakeholder in Imagination Technologies, the company behind the PowerVR chipset...."

"Reading between the lines?!!!" This is laughable.

Your claim that "a large part of the market is IPS screens now" is untrue. The above statement provides no information to back it up.

The reality is, that there are very few, mostly high-priced, IPS products on the market currently, with virtually none in the laptop segment, and none in the tablet market, that I am aware of. FUD, again.

Either show something concrete to support your claim, or stop making stuff up.
