What the iPad 3 Looks Like

redletterdave writes "If you were expecting a radically different-looking tablet from the iPad 2, prepare for a minor letdown. In the same way Apple upgraded the iPhone 4 into the iPhone 4S, the exterior of the iPad 3 mirrors that of the iPad 2, despite completely renovated and upgraded innards. iLab Factory reportedly provided Sharp with the necessary parts to build the high-resolution iPad 3 display, and in a company blog post, various iPad 3 components are displayed alongside those of the iPad 2 for quick comparison. In addition to a new camera mount that will reportedly match or improve upon the 8-megapixel camera system in the iPhone 4S, the post also revealed that the iPad 3 will be approximately 1 mm thicker than its predecessor to house Apple's upgraded components, including a bigger battery, an improved camera, and a dual-LED lit system to make the 2048 x 1536 display even brighter."

It's a rumor article about the iPad 3. So I wrote additional rumors that have been known about the iPad 3, which is that the iPad 2 would continue to be sold but at a lower price. What in the hell is "canned" about that?

Should I have written "first p0st" instead of putting in any effort? This place is really starting to suck as a community.

Yeah, but if you notice the moderation, my karma gets punished while the accusers get rewarded, because I guess I said something too positive about Apple or something? It's really getting to the point where every discussion must be a given party line, or you get censored. Hell, even this will probably get modded down.
