As crazy apple production fans, when apple inc. release new gadgets, people just can’t stop themselves replacing old generation for the new one, like most of us holding ipad2 instead of original ipad. That’s our natural reaction, cos basically we think new things must have more functions and easier to operate, that thought gets some point, but the truth maybe, I’m not gonna say “shock” you, at least will let us think they are playing some kind of tricks with us, if you know weakness of ipad2, you will definitely guess they'll be holding out for version 3.
So
there is no need to acclaim how wonderful ipad2 is. Apple could have
gone further, which is why many with first-generation devices will be
happy to hold out. As Steve Jobs alluded to during yesterday's event,
the company didn't really have to add much. That said, there are five
specific things Apple could have added but didn't.
1. Retina
Display. It's a high-density pixel display that packs in about four
times the number of pixels as standard displays. but alas the screen
that ships in the iPad 2 is the same resolution as the first. It has
been proven the effect of having a resolution that high in such a small
area can have a dramatic effect on detail for things like text, and
detailed imagery.
2. An SD card slot/USB port. Rumors began
circulating as early as September of last year that Apple was working to
bring a mini-usb port to the next iPad. Extra fuel was added to that
fire with a number of third-party case manufacturers making early iPad2
case designs with an extra hole near the top. This later turned out to
be the revised placement of Apple's microphone, which had previously
been located next to the headphone jack. So could Apple add either one
of these to the next model? Perhaps though that would give people less
of a reason to shell out $29 for the connector kit.
3.
Thunderbolt connectivity. Thunderbolt could end up being the answer to
bringing that speed back, though with new MacBook Pros only sporting one
Thunderbolt port, which is also used to plug into external displays,
it's not quite at the point of being the kind of casual plug users will
have open and available at all times. That could certainly change a little farther down the line though.
4.
Near Field Communications technology. Rumors of Apple testing NFC chips
in iPhones began as early as August, then a report by Bloomberg back in
January claimed that Apple was working to bring the technology to the
next generation of the iPhone and iPad. NFC chips could then be used as a
payment option, or with applications to ferry over their data from one
device to another.
5. 4G. By comparison, Apple competitor
Motorola plans to offer a 4G modem upgrade to owners of its Xoom tablet
in the second quarter of this year. This will require that users send
back their tablet to the company to get it retrofitted to receive the 4G
signal.
