Perfect for comics. I'd buy it provided the resolution is absurdly high and it wasn't a fantastic jump in price.

I think that these large tablets (12" and beyond) are a niche market, for most people even 10" is too large and the 7-8" range seem to be the sweet spot. Maybe 12"+ will have a place in the business sector, but I hardly see them hitting it with consumers, we're seeing a shift towards smaller tablets already.
I'm still trying to figure out what niche a 9.7" tablet is for.

12.9" is much closer to the size of an actual magazine, or textbook, or sheet music.

Darn it! I just bought a new iPad, the original was wearing out. If I had known this, I would have waited.
Could be a long wait. This is only a rumor at present with a projected 2014 release date - could be December 2014 or later.

If this maxi comes out, the screen will most likely have the same res as the existing ipad, i.e 2048x1536. For a 13", that's 196dpi, which hardly qualifies as retina.

I'd love one. 10" is too small for magazines.

Because that size is most useful for real computing, and iOS is not a full OS. If you're going to carry something around that large, it may as well be a full PC. The usefulness of a screen that size with an OS that can't multitask is pretty limited. As I said, I'd rather have something like the Lenovo Yoga in that size.

Of course I didn't see the point of the original iPad either, so what do I know.

What do you consider a "full OS"?

Multitasking, file management, multiple user profiles, etc.

12.9 inches is still a bit small for me. I really want 14 inches.

I have been looking for a device for reading sheet music for ages. Ideally I want an e-ink screen, but a high res backlit screen may have to suffice, as I have waited many years as it is. I went so far as to buy the Sony tap20, but windows 8 was a total failure so I returned it. I have high hopes for the large e-ink reader that Sony has previewed.

Maybe 2014 will be the year.

I agree. Something in the 14" - 17" range with a stylus so that you can put markings in the music is what I want. It wouldn't even need to have backlighting or frontlighting because I could put it on a music stand with a stand light.

I know people who use the current 9.7" iPad for music, and I'm just thinking this 12.9" iPad would be an improvement.
