“We’ve seen dozens of tablets hit the market this year, all of them furiously trying to compete with [Apple’s iPad],” Clayton Morris reports for FOX News. “The problem is that they are only just catching up with where the iPad started. None of them, in my opinion, surpass the iPad in functionality or finesse, and certainly not in apps. So when the iPad II hits the market, it could very easily put this year’s tablets yet another year behind.”
“The guts in the new iPad will be speedy, with Apple’s rumored next-generation A5 processor,” Morris reports. “With all of this speed, you’d think battery life might be compromised. Guess again. My sources at Apple assure me that this is not the case. The iPad is notorious for under-promising and over-delivering on battery life. I get upwards of 12 hours per charge. With increased performance, it will be an impressive feat for the battery life to remain constant.”
Morris writes, “Then there’s the price. I don’t think Apple will significantly drop the cost of this gadget the way the company did with the original iPhone. Apple has proven that the price is already right, after all. It sells. A lot.”
