If it does have a "Retina" display I may finally buy one. I always hold off buying anything new from Apple until at least the third gen. By that time they have had time to implement fixes for the bits the first gen customers complained about.

Retina is a trademark, nothing more. If Apple call it Retina it is Retina

No home button? Gesture based? Sounds a lot like the way my playbook works. RIM should perhaps give apple a taste of their own medicine and sue them. It if course Apple don't steal other companies ideas and tech.

Real retina (if there is one) is something like 500dpi+ but I imagine every display is so called retina at a certain distance. There are in fact a few 500 dpi displays around, just non a large scale production.
There was an 8" iPad rumoured so if the 'Retina' label is to be used, it is the 8" that has a chance. I must admit, having a 7" 4/3 ratio tablet I think the 8" size would hit the right spot for portability and usability compromise. |

Do people expect an iPad mini this year? I know it's rumoured. I'd definitely get one if so. I think the current iPad is a little on the heavy side.

It's possible, but I'm gonna say no. More likely a bigger iphone later.
Open about production details ..... Smaller iPad .... Bigger iPhone ? I wonder if history will show such changes, and widening of the product range, as being a good or a bad move. Maybe a new, open, 'better' Apple ? |

But Jobs' strategy made it work. All the secretiveness meant anticipation, then the sharing the details with the chosen ones was like a religious experience with Jobs as a preacher. With all that gone Apple may lose some of its edge. But the times are changing anyway, iPhone, iPad now have viable alternatives that are at least as good and cheaper. It wasn't like that a couple of years ago. So maybe you cannot do these reveals as effectively anymore when what you offer is already available somewhere else. They have a long innovation cycle while the competition manages to come with new products faster, simply because there's more of them.

Gesture were RIM's idea? News to me.
Like recently they sued Motorola for using slide to unlock on their devices. See where I am going with this? |

Yeah - that was pretty petty. Next someone will be suing someone else for using a tap to open an app.

I use my iPad all day and haven't came across any websites that need flash, that combined with the fact adobe have abandoned all mobile flash, it's dead in the water.
I love my iPad but flash would make it better, of that there is no doubt. |

Why is it fanboy garbage? It just means that people's use & experience is different. Gormond & many other people manage quite happily without Flash because they don't visit sites which need it, while you happen to visit sites which do need it.

There are a huge and ever increasing number of free casual games available online implemented with Adobe Flash.

It is fan boy garbage, there are literally millions of sites that require it, I can't even watch video on the BBC news site for a start, it's an absolute joke to make out its not needed and a downright lie to say you go on it all day and never come across a site that needs it.
Although there are many sites that still use Flash to a greater or lesser degree, the overall trend is certainly that Flash is on its way out. Heck, if Adobe themselves are no longer supporting Flash Mobile... |

There are plenty of websites that use flash. It is possible to surf the web without encountering any of them. However when you do come across a flash website, its very frustrating. Its like going to a club, and some guy standing at the door saying, your not allowed in VIPs only.

I just visited BBC Bytesize (the educational section of their site) and it uses Flash.

I have the bbc news app and it's rubbish compared to the regular site.
Also looking at the video section of DS http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/video/ they also play fine. I seriously can't recall the last time I came across something in flash that I couldn't play, all the websites I visit seem to be HTML5, the odd time it used to happen I just used a browser that supported flash html5 like puffin. |

Flash maybe on its way out, but it will be years until Flash has totally gone. So it makes no sense whatsoever to stop supporting it for the foreseeable future.
Its a totally stupid argument to use. |
