Here’s what I’d like to see for the next iPad, along with any related, current rumours…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Higher resolution display — the rumours say everything from “no change” (== 1024×768) to “retina display” (== 2048×1536). Retina display seems unlikely, but I would like something higher than we have now, at least when I’m reading books. Can we do 1280×1024 maybe?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cameras front and back — this is widely believed to be part of the story, but the current rumours are that the cameras will be low resolution (0.3Mp front; 1.0Mp rear). Honestly, if they put in something less<\/em> than what’s in the iPhone, they’re idiots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Lighter — using the current iPad to read is equivalent to strength training. There are rumours of the next iPad having a carbon fibre back to reduce the weight. I’ll believe it when I see it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Faster — this would be both as a result of a faster processor, and because it would have more RAM. A big part of the experience for this device is browsing the web, but the iPad is not<\/em> the best tablet for doing this any more; let’s fix that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
