Samsung Mobile is separate from Samsungs manufacturing business.

enough with the word retina. ive had enough with these silly complex words... it might work on your average isheeep and other uneducated cronies, but not on me.

"Retina" is a complex word?

15. TheStig posted on 18 Nov 2011, 12:42 1

If "Retina" is a complex word for some folks, I can only imagine what Otolaryngology means to him.

He's a fandroid. Anything over two syllables is a little hard on him.

Use polysyllabic and the rest of us will know what you mean.

Allow me to make an equally uneducated comment: You're dumb.

It will probably need a more powerful processor along with more ram to support the beefed up resolution. I wonder how it will affect the battery life

18. tacohunter posted on 18 Nov 2011, 13:44 1 1

Nah. Dunno probably not.

19. biophone posted on 18 Nov 2011, 14:00 1

I hope a bigger battery comes along as well.

23. ardent1 posted on 19 Nov 2011, 00:35

Probably a smaller and lighter battery but better battery technology. Apple has been working on battery technology for a long time.

21. rcrider4 posted on 18 Nov 2011, 15:26

Battery life has been a focus for Apple with the iPad in the past, so I doubt they would allow it to drop too much, if at all.

apple is always behind in tech why do u think they copy

to get the res of a retina display it would have to have around

2600p X 1800p on its 9.7inch to get 326ppi notice i said around so i dont see that happening

25. tacohunter posted on 19 Nov 2011, 12:57

Behind in tech? yes and no. In some things they're ahead in tech. And in some things behind.
