Actually, they are new. We did not have this level of display or power previously. > They're more of the same, revamps, upgrades, ie what is to be expected as the > baseline bare minimum for a release. "New" if you buy into the marketing hype > maybe, but totally uninnovative. Actually, the technology behind this stuff is innovative. New technology innovations had to be made in order to achieve this level of power in a handheld tablet with the stated battery life. It may not be flashy, like some new whiz-bang feature might be, but it is based on technological innovation. > There's nothing innovative in the iPad 3 over the iPad 2, just more of the > same. Only to you. To the rest of us, we appreciate the innovative work done to fit the increased power in a chip the same size, to quadruple the pixel count in the screen, and to provide LTE speed data at a reasonable price and power consumption. This is not some "freebie" give me. It is based on hard work and I am sure innovative new ways of doing things at the low level of the chips and stuff. > >> Apple is not about coming out with some completely new product every year -- >> one completely different than the previous.

No. Because of the vast new power it puts in my hands and the new capabilities it opens up to me based on that power. When I get paid for my current projects, I will be upgrading my iPad 1 to a 4G 64GB new iPad and maybe buying an additional entry level iPad 2 or an entry level wifi only new iPad. And you did not answer my question. Why would I want Thunderbolt on my iPad? How is that innovative? Thunderbolt has been around a year already. And what is an "Apple TV Interface"? And how would that be innovative. > Nothing to be stoked about. It's "okay", but really just more of the same. Whatever. Your mind is closed. No use talking about it with you.
