iPad 3

Retina screen has been pretty much confirmed by suppliers. As for the Home button, what if its basic functionality was replaced by a swipe up from the bottom (the opposite of the swipe down for notification center). Not sure about the no home button though, that's really pure speculation based on one marketing image.

Be interesting to see how Apple will get past the battery drain retina and quad-core will cause...

Personally I despise how the iPad thinks I want my notifications bar to come down from the top of the screen every time I try to use the video slider to skip around during a movie in landscape mode.  Does this bother anyone else or is it just me?

Mapping everything the home button does to mutitouch would cause me even more frustration methinks.

Another possibility is that they remove the physical clicking button and just have a touchable 'hot spot' where the home button was. Similar to the buttons on my Samsung TV.

Oooh billybob! That does sound plausible! I like that idea and if Apple didn't use that, I think you should patent the idea! :)

I get a little frustrated with the notification swipe too at times...

I still enjoy thinking back to when the first iPad was just a rumor and all the people who opined it would be a failure.

Me included. Obviously my mind has been changed, though I still maintain the iPad 1 was not where it needed to be in regard to form factor and features.

Sound like the kind of arcane technobabble I hear on the Modern Geek podcast. IPad does 100% of what I do ad 50% more than I even understand. That's what ll the tech people miss. You all can't be satisfied, but the rest of us can.

hehe, I'm satisfied! Proud iPad 2 owner here and the sales of the original iPad more then refute my personal misgivings regarding the original model.

...but for everything else there's iPad!

It's still a secondary device or tertiary device for me - and many.  I like the iPad, but I still need a full computer - like I think everyone here still has and uses too.

P.S. There, that should stir Bryan up for the morning.  :)
