Leaked images may point to dual-core iPad 2S, not quad-core iPad 3

yea because the Ipad isnt outselling every other tablet out there or anything.

Lol. Hilariously true.

Right...so why even come out with the iPad "s" or whatever? Your point is ?

28. Paden posted on 01 Feb 2012, 12:14 2 0

If anything (and what I meant in my previous post was), as apps become more complex there will be a need for faster processors.

I wasn't talking sales.

The iPad needs to constantly improve. Whether it's small changes or big changes it needs to keep up with fresh features or more reasons to buy. Yes, it is the best selling tablet, but Apples tablet market share is shrinking (now I'm talking sales).

But, you're right. Apple is very smart about what features they choose to add and when to add them. Did Apple need to release an ALL NEW REDESIGNED IPHONE? A lot of people thought yes, but sales figures show otherwise.

I'm sure many consumers would be happy with a retina display, LTE, more RAM, and a slightly tuned A5 iPad 2S. I know I would. A high resolution screen is one of the things that is keeping me from getting a new iPad. Quad-core would be the icing on the cake. Either way, the new iPad will sell.

Subjectively after 6+ months of use, my 1st gen iPad still feels faster and more responsive than my Tegra2 A500 Android tablet.

maybe because you're using an operating system that was designed for a music player with multimedia capabilities (ipod), instead of a computer-esque operating system designed for a person needing the capabilities of a computer in their pocket on a device that also makes phone calls?

or maybe apple just did it right.

My iPad 1 runs just fine. I have used an iPad 2 and it runs faster than most Android tablets.

i have an iphone and an ipad and have never needed flash for anything.

Even Adobe has admitted that mobile flash is a dead end. Flash's claim to fame is battery drain and instability. Time to move on already. Get over it.

12. MichaelHeller posted on 01 Feb 2012, 11:29 8 3

Yeah, I've been using Android for the past couple years and I think I've used Flash fewer than 10 times. It's really not a good argument any more.

21. remixfa posted on 01 Feb 2012, 11:53 4 3

i still use it quite often. It all depends on which parts of the net you are trolling in.

31. Commentator posted on 01 Feb 2012, 12:26 4 1

Yeah, Flash is really helpful if you happen to like watching movies and TV shows without having to pay for them... not that I do that...

I use flash every day on both my prime and s2 for watching anime and other videos. I feel that it's still a decent arguement.

Whats sad is that apple doesn't need to incorporate flash and it still dominates android in sales and customer satisfaction. Nice try though.

42. tedkord posted on 01 Feb 2012, 17:07 2 1

In tablets, yes. For now. However, tablets are a fledgling market for android OEMs. They will overcome iOS exactly as they did in smartphones. It's inevitable.

A troll calling out a troll. hmmmmmmm

Pot calling kettle black, how ironic! You are probably the biggest troll on this site along with gemini(ex taco) and the miz.

Samsung manufactures apples chips. We all know that. But what some people either don't know, fail to understand, or ignore for the sake of trolling(and I accuse you of none of those) is that the chip design is not samsungs. Apple designed the Ax series(A4-6) in house.

very true. suck it up peeps.

Great point! I'm gonna update the article

Michael,

It is one thing for society to be drugged up on Apple. However, the Media and forum sites such as this one have become so caught up in the Apple movement, that they lose all sense of great journalism. Maybe it would be best to wait for factual evidence before placing continual acticles on Apple. It can avoid possible unnecessary and embarrassing "updates".

Apple designs the processors that Samsung builds for them and they were wise to choose an OMAP4(MP2) over the Mali-400 that Samsung would've used so i'd say Apple should get some credit there.
