A gaming system with no physical controls?
No thanks. For FPS and the likes you need controls and TBH preferably a full sized controller. |

It depends on the game, strategy games are better on touch screen than controls IMO.
For FPS and the likes you need controls and TBH preferably a full sized controller. For me, an iPad would be handy for watching movies / TV on a decent screen whllst lounging on the couch or bed... outside of that I don't see the appeal. Maybe I'm missing something...... |

Because the announced Asus pad 700 will have 224ppi, no release date ASAIK and still over 40ppi behind the iPad display.
I've stated I wish there was more as it all helps drive the market so we all benefit regardless of os preferences. The announcement just doesn't look like its driving any market. Catch up plus a better screen. If they had come up with some great new tech then apple users would be happier and so would those who use other units as other manufacturers play catch up. Really I'm not being obtuse. We all want to see the market and tech evolve don't we? Seriously if you are happy with the announcement then great. I'm not arguing. I just expected more. |

iPad 2 will stay in the line-up, priced at $399 in the US for the 16GB wifi version.

I wonder if it's getting like the iPhone?
1 step (year) upgrade is not justifiable but 2 steps? From iPhone3G to iPhone4 to iPhone5? Or From iPhone3GS to iPhone4S to iPhone5S? Maybe they're creating a 2 yearly replacement trend? |

The Vita has both, therefore I'd much rather use that than an iPad or any other tablet for gaming.
For me, an iPad would be handy for watching movies / TV on a decent screen whllst lounging on the couch or bed... outside of that I don't see the appeal. Also in typical Sony standards the browser is awful. I dont have any hopes for them to make it better either as the PS3 one is unusable IMO. |

Big hint that we'll be seeing the iPhone 5 pretty soon.

Oh I agree its ahead. I stated that. But its not as ahead as the iPhone was in its day. Its not 'wow' ahead.
The next ground breaking product is meant to be the TV set they're developing. As for pushing the industry forward, they don't really need to do that. They're making so much revenue right now it's silly. They sold 40 million iPads last year and some are estimating 100 million this year. They just need to keep doing what they're doing. They have so much money in the bank now it's just crazy. And their share price is at an all time high. Which when you think many predicted their down fall post Steve Jobs.. so far they're doing just fine. |

The prices given in the "iPad event" were all in $USD, but as they exactly match the $USD launch prices of the iPad 2 it is a very safe bet that the "New iPad" will cost exactly the same as the iPad 2 originally did (bar any exchange rate differences). |

How gutted would you be if you recently bought an iPad 2 and had no idea of the new launch!
