Kevin Rose is engaged again the predictions and promises to iPad 2 display with increased resolution

The creator of Digg, Kevin Rose (Kevin Rose) has repeatedly acted as a predictor when it came unannounced Apple products. In particular, in September 2008, he predicted appearance Genius in iTunes 8. A month before the iPad, the December 2009 announcement, he stated that the price of the Apple tablet will be "shockingly" low. Rose was right, because the people were quite willing to pay, and $ 1,000 for the cheapest model of the tablet, but Jobs surprised everyone by naming a price of $ 500. Whatever may be said about the high cost of Apple products, but $ 500 for a metal device with a gorgeous 9.7-inch IPS-display and excellent functionality E-Reader, Internet tablet, game console, business tools, media player - it's not expensive. Suppose that in the native land, the price is slightly higher, but still too early it is good and it is competitive with the same Samsung Galaxy Tab, offered in Russia for mad 30 - 40 thousand. rubles. But, back to Rose and his predictions. We have found that it is quite possible to believe them. Another portion of the same information from this Internet wunderkind As for the iPad 2.

is he He stated in his blog that the gadget announcement will take place over the next few weeks, probably on 1 February. Actually, no one doubts it, because a year ago, Apple announced the original iPad, and if it will continue to adhere to its production cycle update, something about the iPad 2, we learn very soon, as well as says Rose.

In addition, Digg founder said that the device will get a Retina-display. He obviously got excited, as later updated the blog entry, noting that the screen on the iPad 2 will be higher density of pixels per inch (dpi), than current tablet, but technically it will not Retina-display. Again, the conclusion is simple, logical analysis.

At CES 2011 already announced a few competing tablets based on Android 3.0. We tried and Motorola, and Toshiba, and ASUS, and a number of other companies. In most cases, with a 10-inch display apparatus have a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. That is, the density of pixels per inch they clearly higher than the iPad, with its resolution of 1024x768 pixels and 132 dpi. Apple clearly have to offer something more interesting in the iPad 2, because after Retina text in iBooks on your tablet is no longer looks so impressive, I would like a higher resolution. But do not forget that quadruple the resolution of the Apple tablet is unlikely to be able to, as it did in the iPhone 4. Processor, let it be even a dual-core, corny can not cope with the processing of the number of pixels or not be able to do this effectively, which resulted in a slowdown interface and programs, and it is not Apple-style. Accordingly, the most logical for the company will slightly increase the density of pixels in the display, which will be expressed in insignificant, but a proportionate increase in resolution (to avoid any problems with the software-oriented original iPad resolution). That is, the picture will become clearer and more vigorous competition with the newcomers will be easier.

Add that Rose mentioned pair and on the availability of cameras in iPad 2: the front for FaceTime, on the back - for photo and video shooting. Well, the wait is long.
