New Ipad launched, not Ipad3

Apple just announced their "New Ipad", here the detail :

Apple® today introduced the new iPad®, the third generation of its category defining mobile device, featuring a stunning new Retina™ display, Apple’s new A5X chip with quad-core graphics and a 5 megapixel iSight® camera with advanced optics for capturing amazing photos and 1080p HD video. iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G connects to fast networks worldwide, including AT&T’s and Verizon’s 4G LTE networks, and still delivers the same all-day 10 hour battery life* while remaining amazingly thin and light.

 

and iPad 2 price will dropped to $399. but still expensive to me, ehehehe :grin:

Besides that Apple announced the iOS 5.1 , the latest OS and new apps, called iPhoto, the detail :

Apple also introduced the iPhoto® app, along with major updates to iMovie® and GarageBand®, completing its suite of iLife® apps for iOS. iLife and the iWork® apps, Pages®, Keynote® and Numbers®, have all been updated to take advantage of the new iPad Retina display. iPhoto includes breakthrough Multi-Touch features so you can use simple gestures to sort through hundreds of photos and find your best shots, enhance and retouch your images using fingertip brushes and share stunning photo journals with iCloud. iMovie now gives you the ability to create amazing Hollywood-style trailers as you record HD video, and GarageBand introduces Jam Session, an innovative and fun new feature that allows a group of friends to wirelessly connect to play instruments and record music together live on their iOS devices.

interesting?  :grin:

I think that 99% of consumers expect new flashy stuff every year, and as long as the new X device does not feature a new orbital laser scanner or nuclear device every year they are 'dissapointed'.

It's a great device in it's own right, Apple clearly wants to get rid of the 'You should buy new things every year because we tell you to' (by keeping cheaper models), and it is far more impressive what the software does.

Since the new iPad features higher specs than a PS3 or XBOX, my question is, when do we see a proper GIS or Remote Sensing app on there? (there are already some things available... but not from the big companies such as imagem etc.)
