Yoni Heisler, Network World:
So what did this mysterious 035 mockup actually look like? Well, I looked back at some older filings in the Samsung/Apple case and stumbled across the 035 mockup in question. And now with the added context from Ive's deposition, these photos may be the earliest iPad mockups you'll ever see.
CNET, writing about Bill Gates' appearance on Charlie Rose:
"You don't have to make a compromise. You can have everything you like about a tablet and everything you like about a PC all in one device. And so that should change the way people look at things."
I think these three lines pretty much sum up Microsoft's goal: change how people look at things -- make them think the iPad is lacking. No keyboard. No stylus. No traditional computing metaphor.
Again, I suggest the name "iPad Junior."
Marco Arment on the latest 7-inch iPad rumor:
If this 7” iPad is real, maybe it has a 1024x768 resolution, yielding a logically 512x384 area, in half of the 10” iPad’s screen area. Effectively, it’d be the iPad 3’s screen cut in half. (Then apps could keep a consistent scale for interface elements, which would make development a lot easier.)
That sounds a lot more likely if they want to hit a $249 price and make a profit.
John’s comments from episode 86 of The Talk Show are getting some attention from a few of my favorite Apple-centric websites, like Mac Rumors, The Next Web, and The Tech Block.
Update: Also The Verge.
9to5Mac claims bluetooth and 1080p.
So saith 9to5 Mac.
CNET has learned that Apple’s next iPad will break with its traditional numbering scheme in order to promote its big new feature: the high-definition screen.
iPad HD is a better name.
AllThingsD must listen to The Talk Show.
