Hi all,
As a former Newton owner, I feel the iPad is what I had wished the Newton to be but wasn't. And yet the iPad is much better. Clearly the iPad designers understood what everyone except the Newton programmers did, that fast native apps (not interpreted), a color screen, and a real OS are essential.
But now that I've been using the iPad for about a week, I'm already anxious for something bigger. If anyone at Apple is reading this, what I would really like is this:
An iPad that has a 15 inch LCD display so I can look at a full web page without enlarging. Even a 13 incher would be a relief.
Of course, numerous doodad improvements also come to mind that would be "nice to have":
- an eInk display on the back
- a rotating camera
- USB for camera with PTP support
- voice control e.g. "iPad: next page"
But I digress.
My 2 cents...
