Why iPad 2 So Soon?

[xiang2011]

Other than throwing off the competition, there are huge gaps now between iPhone and iPad 2 from the display to FaceTime and the competition in price and size from Kindle that leads me to an iPad 2 refresh right before the holidays as a way for Apple to iPad 2 Leather Caseblow all previous numbers out of the water and make it impossible for competition to position themselves against Apple by including any of those features in their devices. The rumored BlackPad from RIM is said to include a camera, and the Cisco tablet will be smaller than the iPaiPad 2 Pouchd 2 and easier to carry. A 7″ iPad 2 with FaceTime would do the trick to put both of those products out to pasture before they even ship Shop for iPad 2ir?t=ladyga-20&l=ur2&o=1.
Front and back camera
How did the world's most perfect videoconferencing device make it off the draiPad 2 Sleeves Storewing board without a camera? If you believe the folks who yanked it apart and found a spot for a MacBook-style camera inside, it was no accident. We fully expect to find one in the next iteration, partnered with FaceTime for videoconferencing right out of the box.
The rumor lateStand for iPad 2ly is that a 7″ model is on its way to sit right beside the current 9″ model, and due to Apple's resolution independence and growing number of developers, a new size won't cause many issues beyond a few optimizations that have to happen from App Store developers to make things Zebra Print iPad 2 Caselook perfect. For the most part, Apple's going to make sure most apps "just work."
The new screen size will help iPad 2 reach a lower price point for consumers and compete with the Amazon Kindle in size and price. Soon, an iPad 2 with thousands of apps will sit along-side the KiZebra iPad 2 Coverndle nicely and make Amazon drop its price even lower to compete.
New Screen Resolution
You can be sure that Apple's Retina Display, or something very close, will make its way to iPad 2. More and more iPhone 4 users are telling me that they use the iPhone over iPad 2 because ofGlittery iPad 2 Case the beautiful screen and how the iPad 2 just feels empty and flat. This is an inevitable upgrade that is going to force us early adopters who own an iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to jump in line. That screen is addictive and we want it.
New Form Factor
I'm doubtful of this one but it's Flower Print iPad 2 Caseworth mentioning in this post. Apple generally waits two to three refreshes before redoing the overall hardware of its devices, but a thinner iPad 2 may be in line that mimics much of Apple's iPhone 4. Squaring off the design would help the device lay flat, but would also make itBamboo iPad 2 Case more susceptible to scratches. I've long wanted an iPad 2 bumper case to help in the event of a drop and wish Apple would move away from steel aluminum as it's so darn slippery. This is a maybe as Apple can legitimately call this a second generation iPad 2 without modifying the iPad 2 Grey Casesouter shell. Of course, if it's releasing a smaller screen size, it might be a good idea to change things up a bit to throw off the competition. We'll see.
FaceTime
Apple's FaceTime making its way to the next generation iPod touch (via a front-facing camera) and Macs (by the waSilver iPad 2 Casey of a software update) seem like logical steps, but what about iPad 2? Steve's promise of "millions of FaceTime devices by the end of the year" is starting to sound empty as we approach September, but it's this month that we'll see more of those "millions" of devices available tiPad 2 White Caseso the public when new iPods and a new iPad 2 is released.
In Apple's latest iOS betas, you can FaceTime someone based on their email address so devices that aren't phones (everything but iPhone) will be able to use FaceTime no problem. This is when things really start getting in
