The new iPad |OT|

Samsung Sole Supplier for Retina Display in New iPad <- I made a thread about the same time you posted it in here. lol
Sorry, I should have been more clear.
A chip using DVFS should reach its maximum frequency during a benchmark test, provided there isn't some other limiting factor in play (such as being plugged in vs being on battery, being overheated, etc.). I am assuming that each chip's benchmark scores represent that maximum frequency.
The fact that the benchmark reports different frequencies is not surprising. The operation to query the current frequency is not demanding, therefore you cannot get a reliable result because the query itself does not cause the frequency to ramp up to maximum. Although the frequency reported in the benchmark is unpredictable, the actually frequency the test runs at is predictable (and predictably the highest frequency).
You can observe this phenomenon easily on a desktop or laptop by installing one of those widgets that displays the current processor frequency and running some processor intensive tasks.

The final push is probably going to come from Windows tablets, right?
It will be somewhat interesting to see what Amazon does with an updated, larger display Kindle Fire, but to be honest...3rd gen iPad just sort of killed that with its retina display. No way Amazon can match that.
They can and do. I don't think it's really on the manufacturers for the tablets anymore...people in general just don't want Android tablets

This. I wish someone out there would compile a list of updated apps.
How can they be considered competitive if people in general just don't want them?They can and do. I don't think it's really on the manufacturers for the tablets anymore...people in general just don't want Android tablets
If you want this type of case go for portenzo or pad & quill. Dodo's quality is extremely poor by comparison.
The hardware itself is what I was referring to, because that's what I assumed mrklaw was referring to since he was playing off of Samsung knowing Apple's hardware.
Technical and market competitiveness are two different things, though only one really matters.
in that case, shouldn't the benchmark poll the frequency in the middle of a demanding task?
nah, I was just taking the piss for no reason whatsoever. I like samsungs hardware, just that its tied to android software which still needs to find its feet in the tablet space at least. Maybe ICS will help, but it needs to stop being so fragmented - that clearly doesn't work
Which is why I am getting rid of my Kindle Fire, the lack of apps on the Amazon App store is even worse. I thought the Fire would fit my needs as a tablet, it doesn't...
Of course. Mrklaw's post only made sense to me if he was referring to hardware specifically since Samsung providing Apple's screens would have nothing to do with their poor performance in the consumer market, but could be used as a jab if they couldn't get their own hardware down.
It seems I read too far into the post, my mistake.
Agreed. The rumored Google Nexus tablet might make things interesting, though I doubt it will cause a huge shake-up (Nexus phones don't, as nice as they are). Android marketing blows.
The Kindle Fire isn't even compatible with Android Tablet specific apps. It runs a modified phone version of Android.
Yes, but that's not up to Samsung. Again, I took the post too seriously; I'm a very literal person.

...hate me...
Software engineering is technical too, you know. If you can throw a bunch of chips and plastic together with quality, good for you, but if you have rely on 3rd parties to develop the software that brings the product together, you have a hand full of nothing.
edit: this was already addressed, I guess. nvm

80 dollars? Dodo indeed.
LG IPS panels are shit, glad they dumped them. Was already excited for this new iPad, this boosts it a little more.
whats the appeal of cases like these? It makes the ipad so big and bulky and then you have that extra flap hanging around when your using it.

I like the DodoCase but those colors are hideous and $80 without camera hole, etc. is absurd.
The IPS panel in my LG TV is quite good- it's better than the other type they typically offer.

Portenzo case looks nice - too bad they haven't announced for iPad 3 yet.

Apple's website is now utilizing Retina assets. Check out this 300% zoomed in crop of their frontpage:
They have! I ordered one, when you select the case you just pick the iPad 3 option on the customization page.
You're going to take pictures while using a case like that? Really?
They are somewhat ugly. How stupid of them not to include a red interior/black exterior option like the original DODOcase. I own one for my first gen iPad and it's beautiful.

Those thumbnails look too tiny to be useful.
Their smaller IPS displays were/are not up to par. My laptop displayed image retention as did two iPads, all three had an LG IPS display. My buddies iPad did as well but I'm pretty sure he didn't notice since he doesn't really watch movies on it.
Use different panels for televisions. Since my laptop and iPad shared basically the same panel, they both had the issue.

I'd bet the farm there'll be 'Retina' MacBook Pros this summer.

It's not about the money... it's about sending a message.
Has it shipped?
You tap and drag your finger across that thumbnail strip. It scrolls through your photos.
And as a PC user I'm grateful!
PC display market prices have been bottoming out but all the displays are shit
I'm still using a 30" dell from like 4-5 years ago and I want to get some better displays in 24-27" range at a better price
Yeah on the 11th

I hope so since I was waiting until this summers refresh or redesign to finally buy a MBP.

Good thing I just updated the RAM on my work PC if I will have to use Retina assets when designing websites
... to 8GB.
... to 8GB.
Well if it gets there and they still haven't charged I'd cancel that credit card asap.
I wonder if there is anything they could actually do if you did that.Awesome Animals

Option 1
Option 2
any thoughts would be appreciated, as always.
