1:59 AM - What Surprises does the New iPad bring to you?
The new column. It comes after last week's column . If that confuses you, just call it the column (3rd edition). Yeah, I went there. It's been a heckuva week so cut me some slack. We've all been running on equal parts adrenalin and recklessly strong coffee and might soon be going into a collective apoplexy not dissimilar to what I'm sure faced the CEOs of rival tablet manufacturers sometime Wednesday afternoon. Yeah, I went there too. Here's why…Most apps now support the iPhone 4/4S Retina display, while on older devices the apps graciously revert to the smaller resolution. You can still find apps in the App Store that are not optimized for the Retina display, and the graphics look slightly blurry, which is probably something users of the iPad HD will encounter in the first stages of the transition. There are many reading device on the marketing, like iPad, kindle fire, so, the ebook format is a head thing, here is the article which can help you resolve ebook format between the different e-readers.
It's a silly name, but there were plenty of critics when the original iPad was named. However, one has to wonder what Apple will do next year. Will it still be marketing "the new iPad" come early 2013? What will the fourth generation of the tablet be called? The newer iPad?
The introduction of a high-resolution screen on the new iPad would have several implications. First, this means developers have to upgrade the graphics in their apps to match the sharper display of the iPad HD. Because the new tablet would have exactly double the linear resolution of the current iPad, the transition will be relatively smooth, if the resolution doubling from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 is any indication. Yes, it will have a speedy quad-core processor. The beefed-up retina display means that there are 3.1 million pixels on the device -- or a million more pixels than standard HDTV. The data storage capacities remain the same, and thankfully at the same price points.
Along with the need for better helmets, that probably explains a lot of link-bait that's been going around since the event. It's dumb Apple stuff and I'm not going anywhere near it, nor the noble but unfortunately perpetuating link-back refutations that still leave me dumber for having scanned them. Instead I'm going with the opposite - the chest beating. The stuff that's even more dangerous. The iPad HD display's resolution would be higher than full 1080p HD video resolution at 1920 by 1080 pixels, and should display much sharper images. At 9.7 inches and double the current resolution, an iPad 3 display would have just over 260ppi pixel density. The only comparable Android tablet at this resolution is the Transformer Pad Infinity 700, with a 10.1-inch 1,920 by 1,200 pixels resolution screen.
I'm a huge believer in personal responsibility. Don't put something online that you couldn't survive going public. But the concept of computers and filesystems and permissions is antiquated and outdated in our brave, new mobile world of always accessible networks and instant uploading apps.
Apple's advantage is, right now, they don't consider themselves unbeatable. They're scared and they're hungry. They're Rocky III after Clubber Lang clobbered him midway through the film, and they're working their collective asses off to make sure they don't lose the much bigger rematch. They know they're beatable because they've been beaten in the past, and they're lucky enough to have gotten a second chance. They're smart enough to keep proving they're beatable, each and every year, by beating themselves. Here the author will take you to review the new iPad.
But smartphones and tablets aren't PCs. To quote Steve Jobs, mobile is the car to the PC truck. And mobile users aren't the same types of drivers as traditional PC users. They're often people for whom traditional PCs were intimidating and inaccessible, and for whom the idea of a file system and permissions were confusing and off putting. They got smartphones and tablets, in part, because they wanted something easier.
