Out of all the rumors regarding next gen iPad, 4G internet capability has to be the biggest foregone conclusion at this point. Besides price, 4G is Apple's competitors only current advantage. 2012 will be the year of Apple 4G. Here is a good article about this.

Apple COO Tim Cook memorably said in February 2011 that 4G was not featured in the iPhone 4 because the thicker LTE chipsets "would force design compromises we're not willing to make."

Bull$shit. Since when does function follow form? How about as soon as the next iPhone comes out in a year rending this years obsolete! Just don't forget that Apple stopped caring about its customers a long time ago.

Well I was never much of an Apple fan because of their prices. That all changed with the original iPad and the Mac Air. Worth every penny. Will never own another product with Microsoft crap on it again. Each to his own.

Ipad is one ugly device. Apple never has made good looking devices the new one almost looks square though very cold sterile and blazay. The ipad 3 should only start around what $700 and a 7 inch tablet around what $400...Far from worth what it can do.

Apple is so cornering the market and keeping prices up, the day you get it they already have the prototype in production in china. I just do all I can to avoid all apple products.

With AT&T throttling bandwidth what difference does it make? Will my "busy" icon just spin faster?

[amawesdude]

Go with Sprint. They're the only cell company that truly has "unlimited data" including NO throttling. I LOVE sprint.

[Fletch55]

Why would anyone still use AT&T to begin with?

Bought my iPhones when there was no option, and they grandfathered my unlimited plan. Other than that, no reason at all.

And they're still made by the closest thing Apple can get to slave labor!

Come on, we're excited, aren't we? Isn't that what all the exclamation points were for, cub reporter?

Tux the Penguin isn't sitting in an office somewhere demanding I buy hardware from him at 3x the going rate for the privilege of legally using Linux.

Does HP own stock in apple? They have more articles on this company than they do about issues that really matter.

what matters is page views, and you coming here to comment justifies their publication of yet another apple story.

[maigoro]

04:26 PM on 02/21/2012

It's page views. They keep track of what people are interested in and looks like love or hate we are interested in Apple. Sort of like Microsoft a few years back.
