iFixit got their hands on one of the first The New iPads (by Ghu that's
an unwieldly name) yesterday and proceeded to take it apart. This is
relevant to the recent discussion about tablets and power consumption.
For comparison, I have here an HP Pavilion dm1-4010us notebook with
11.6 1336x768
Is the lack of air flow a good or bad thing? Are the new iPad going to
make good hand warmers?
Cheers. Steve.

IMHO, 9-10 ho0urs of battery time is reasonable for a laptop/tablet, but
the downtime to recharge can be significant.
Indeed, and that leads to another cooling problem: batteries generate
heat as they charge. Faster charging yields higher

I see batteries as being a dead end. They're entropic, which is a fancy
way of saying

Nah. I think if you dig deeper into this you'll find that the power
potential just isn't there. To capture the power needed in a small
portable device would exceed what the laws of physics allow for.
Though

Perhaps a better answer is something like a MicroOptical/GoogleGlasses display,
which I imagine would require far less power. Lose the big display, and perhaps
the rest of the device could be squeezed into a Twiddler-like chord keyboard.

Faster processor, Retina Display, LTE. What I wonder is how they
squeezed in so much more battery without making the thing significantly
heavier.
The new display panel is slimmer than the previous generation's display
panel.

They do. The A5X CPU in the The New iPad is physically larger than the A5 CPU
in the iPad 2. Both use the same process. Bigger + same = heavier.
But seriously, the new

I need tcp communication (vs udp) to ensure messages successfully get

Encryption of the message, too, between client to server would be
great. TCP alone
