Is this the back of iPad 5?
So many rumors about the next iPad. Now the leaked photo showed the back plate of iPad 5. How do you think of it? Will this be true?

Can I say it's pretty ridiculus to rave about the back of a electronic device?

I'm not clear on why they think this is the back of iPad5, wouldn't iPad4 be the logical conclusion?

They were screwed because if they had know, they would have waited and bought the better one that was released not that long after the iPad 3 and less then the yearly update pattern.

Nope. I got my 3 in April, and I really didn't care when the processor speed went up. It's getting to the point that there isn't that much software that the average user would use that would really take advantage of the speed.

And personally no, you are wrong. If the option was being able to use a device for 8 months, or waiting to get basically the same device with a faster CPU, I would have got the iPad 3. You are just looking for things to complain about Apple and/or Amazon, as usual. |

I didn't mean to get the thread down this path. I really didn't realize that the fourth generation was already released. I guess I was expecting the same kind of intense discussions that happened with the iPad3, but I suppose that was because of the sudden change in resolution, and the whole iPad3 which is not called iPad3 but iPad Retina thing.

This is nonsense. I bought my iPad 3 because of its specs, not in anticipation of what the next model would or wouldn't do. The release of the iPad 4 did not change the capabilities of my iPad 3. Have I been "screwed" if I buy a car, and the manufacturer releases a new model 8 months later?
