Is the new iPad just that? I was wondering why didn't Apple name it the iPad 3? Also how would the average person could tell the difference between the The New iPad and iPad 2?
It was announced yesterday?It looks like the next-gen iPad Apple announces today, the iPad 3 or iPad HD or whatever they name it, may well have support for LTE data networks. If so, this will offer a huge speed boost, and depending on the pricing for data plans this would become a very attractive option for those who want always-on connectivity for their iPad.
I, for one, think the naming makes perfect sense. Outside of my geek friends, nobody I know understands the nomenclature of ipad vs. ipad 2 or iphone 4 vs 4s. They are sometimes aware that there is a new device out, sometimes being the key word), but are absolutely oblivious to the naming system and specs. This naming system makes sense for 90% of the population. You either have the new iPad or an old one. Numbers really dont mean anything. Next year we will get a new iPad, and you will once again either have the new iPad, or an old one. It's that simple.
Let the results be the judge of what naming mechanism was working best for each product. Mac sales? ipod sales? or ipad & iphone sales?
So... does this mean that next year's iPad will be called the New New iPad?
