Friday, March 12, 2010 at 3:05PM I did a small comparison of tech specs before and after pre-ordering iPad. Here are some things I've found:
- new: Audio formats supported: HE-AAC (V1)
- new: TV and video: Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
- image: "mute" switch renamed to "Screen rotation lock"
- iPad Accessories texts changed
Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 5:57PM About a month ago I made some predictions about Apple's event on January 27th. Let's take a look on the results:
- "iTablet": 100%
Yep, iPad is there
- iPhone OS 3.5/4.0 (should be the same OS for tablet, makes sense): 100%
OK, the version number is 3.2 but should be 4.0 when it's ready. So yes, this is the same OS as for iPhone.
- iLife '10: 90%
This is a weird one, because january is the annual time for iLife updates.
- some TV deals: 50%
- own maps app/service: 20%
- Safari update (it's time): 20%
100% missed :-)
- I don't believe the rumors about the "iSlate" name. It sounds awful.
100% true. Although I don't like the name iPad either.
apple, apple tablet, ipad, predictions
