That a friend, of a friend, that works, at Apple that knows a cousin of mine also saw the same thing.
Seriously...
I am not conviced myself about this whole 7'' ( i think it is just an old prototype) the OS fragmentation to support all iOS resolutions will me a nightmare for developers (if you include that the AppleTV will be getting an AppStore soon), But them again!...I could be just way off
the current 9.7" iPad has a resolution screen of 1024x768, if Apple were to release a smaller screen size (7 inch) they can do so and still keep the same 1024x768 resolution and developers won't have to do a thing, all apps will work on both the larger and smaller screen.
Agreed, but them why go to 7'' at all? better e reader? what market are they going after? As i said, I am not sure about this whole thing, to me doesn't make sense
There is a comma, or in some minds, coma, missing, and as you can see, there has been something removed between "friend" and "saw", namely the name of that friend, thus making it more plausible and true.
i dont see why not. Besides, when as Apple really had to cater to the dev's? Only very recently has there been any lax in their rules. Apple will get the people what they want. Give the Dev's what they want later.
OS Fragmentation said. i wonder if they will try to work the resolutions so Ipad or even Iphone 4 resolutions can be used. It'll be interesting to see if they say anything come next Wednesday.
LOL i am not going to create an agrument here, It doesn;t make sense to me. Apple need to carter A LOT to dev, they make more money from the AppStore than from the Hardware itself.
Next Wednesday will be all about OSX Lion... Nothing about iOS, Steve is very picky about mixing them up. We may see some "sales figure" but's about it
Here you go, From Jobs himself!

Yeah I got that RSS this morning. I guess I need to take Apple Buisniess Model 101 again. Damn!! I was soo hoping for that too..oh well..
Ipad 2 here i come!!
i wonder..
Given his statments about resolution and dev's. Do you think there will NOT be a resolution increase for Ipad 2? Everyone is expecting it but i'm just wondering after hearing what he had to say.

I don't expect a resolution increase at all. It's clear they aren't going to fragment the platform by using a different size or resolution. The only way to avoid this to use 4x the resolution like the iPhone 4 did. I think panels of this resolution are long ways off since they are having trouble just meeting the demand on the current ones.
i have to say, i'm agreeing with you there. It seems there will be no rez increase this year. My only reasons for not buying an ipad (even though i go to Best Buy weekly to play with one ) was for possible rez increase and 7' form factor. Steve kicked both of those reasons out the door. I dont really care about facetime/camera since both my wife and I ahve Iphone 4's already. Memory increase wont matter since it'll be for home use only 16g wifi will do the job. I got no reasons to wait anymore! I may visit Craigslist...... (for ipad's of course...)
I agree, they are rabscallians with tallyho attitudes. Apple would not even let the tiniest snipit out.
