I end up using my computer allt he time but I think it's mostly because I'm doing more content creation (writing, coding, working) than I do just browsing / reading.

There's other things to do with a computer other than access the internet?

HD is the new Extreme.
Added to the list of things that annoy me about Apple-ism. AppHD- no, it's just the full version...

Doubling the resolution from 1024x786 to 2048x1536 it pretty good and warrants the HD moniker IMHO.

Resolution is correct and 4G: New iPad now has 21Mbps HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA at 42Mbps, with LTE taking the cake at 73Mbps. compared to:iPad 2 has 3.1Mbps on EV-DO, 7.2 on HSPA.


Doesn't seem to be true here, but they aren't done yet.

Yeah, but you Apple haters will say that no matter what.

I don't hate Apple.
I just seriously dislike their products, systems, ethos, philosophy, raison d'etre, raison d'vivre, and raison d'etat.

Plus, I thnk they're beaming mind control microwaves into my gerbil. He's been acting funny lately.

I think it's about what everyone expected. The 4G will be nice touch if you're on the road a lot.

I wonder how HTML 5 will change things. If you no longer need "apps", but rather, can use the browser...that could be interesting.

This is the thing that kills me with 4G.

My HOME internet access is 12Mbps. That's good for three people using simultaneously. If I didn't have roomates, I'd be on the 6Mbps plan. Unless you're regularly downloading huge apps, 4G is pointless.
