grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 There is no official news yet shadowtec, just strong speculation. And inevitability. And even if they released it in April you would probably find it hard to get one then. Probably best to think more June realistically. When did you finally get your HK ipad thursday?

shadowtec 0 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 yeah but it changes which comes first the dev computer or the ipad (hell I can even buy a 2nd hand touch to test apps on) / was doing 3d programming in uni but I have not done much in a while as far as openGL goes // been looking at this objective c that they use povray (all code) at uni I crushed the other student's sprit when they had problems even programming a box I post some more when I make screens of the current project I have just started Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I got my Ipad after the second wave. The lauch was crazy, sold out in one morning. The second wave came a month later. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 what to do with the Ipad once 2 comes along? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Got to admit I'm not really interested in cameras, USB ports and stuff. What I am interested in is a finer screen, perhaps less heavy and also more memory. No doubt get one and ipad1 will be my bedtime reader. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'd like one with a phone function. Video chat would be great with a retina screen. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Announcement on ipad 2 in the next few weeks? Hope they really up the memory and the display res, they are my wishes. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 if they grant my wish for a phone function, I can hold it up to my face when taking calls. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 For me to join in the fun I'd like more processing power and a bit lighter. An even better display would be good. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The retina display on I4 really is fantastic. That on a larger screen would be quite spectacular. BUT. Holding out for the Ipad2 now. Holding out? No, can't wait. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 That would be incredible. But from what I can gather, the resolution of the new one seems to be coming in somewhere between the current and retina. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 not really realistic as retina is already tried and tested. No need to go for a go between. Just critical mass the retina. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 What is this retina? Will they offer a lower price if you give them back your iPad1? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Retina display is the name for the high res display that has more pixels than one's retina can distinguish. Look at an I4, it's really nice. Link to post Share on other sites
shadowtec 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well I could not help myself and I went out and brought a 32 gig iPad. It is wifi only because I want to go and get a pocket 3G wifi router so I can connect my laptop and other stuff next time I get sent out for work. (I left my 3G USB stick at home and I had no net in the sat truck) After my japan trip I will save up for a Mac mini so I can start 3d development. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Quote: So, we heard from our source that the iPad 2 would have a "super high resolution" Retina Display, we heard from AppleInsider that the iPad 2 is getting around 4X the graphics performance of the iPad, and of course there's the fact that the iPhone 4's Retina Display offered a pretty impressively painless upgrade path for developers -- an iPad 2 with a 2048 x 1536 screen is starting to sound less and less like the crazy dream of naive fanboys. But wait, there's more! A .png has been found in the iBooks 1.2 source files, dubbed Wood Tile@2x.png. It's sized at 1536 x 800, while the old and busted Wood Tile.png in iBooks 1.1 was 768 x 400 -- that's 2X in each direction, or 4X the pixels, for anyone who's counting. Incontrovertible evidence? No, but we want to believe. That would be absolutely AMAZING. I hope it is true. Link to post Share on other sites
