I have an IPad 2 and it's wicked I use it to configure cisco switches at work!

Are you just telnetting over wifi, or is there a Apple Port -> DB9 somewhere?

I actually feel bad for Apple. They are in a marketing position where its either make or break. They don't have the luxury of other companies to be able to shoot out simple upgrades in hardware, their upgrades have to be substantial and eye opening because that's what the public expects from them, and that's what they expect from themselves. Anything short of a astonishing achievement is a publicity disaster for them



fortunately that's what they're passionate about.

given that they sold 315 million ?devices (iPod, iPhone, iPad) last year, with 62 million in Q4 2011, it seems like they're doing something right. as Tim Stevens said today, most companies would be thrilled to dominate in just one of those spaces.

Bad news. Not only does it look pretty much like the ipad 2, but they're not calling it anything besides "ipad" or "the new ipad."

http://www.apple.com/ipad/

Still it address my big complaint about the 2: the resolution.

I don't know, but I'm trying to get "Tabloid" to catch on for Android tablets. If it ever becomes popular, you can say you saw it from an Outpost hipster first!
