iPad HD: I got a feeling it’ll disappoint a lot of people

By March 7, Apple will announce its new iPad tablet. CNET and VentureBeat both report it will be called iPad HD instead of the iPad 3. Everyone is still speculating on the hardware specification but the likely upgrades include a full HD resolution and a faster chip.

And just like the iPhone 5 where people expected something really huge will be revealed (and instead they got the iPhone 4S), the successor to the iPad 2 might look just the same, albeit with better specs.

For current owners of the iPad 2, woud you consider upgrading to the iPad HD if it will just look the same but with a higher resolution screen?

    There are still a lot of people who does not own a Tablet, i think if the price is still same as the previous iPad, then it is still a GO!

    i’m fine with my ipad2. i think the ipad2’s display and specs are decent and would satisfy a lot of people.

    i think apple is just trying to bring in more dough…very typical of apple…

    Regardless of the specs hence the name iPad HD nor iPad 3, fanboys will always find reasons to patronize it, masabi lang. IMO the original iPad is their(apple) greatest creation in the tablet market, and now SJ is gone, iPad successors are rather boring…zzz..

    For sure magdodouble na naman ang price ng new unit na yan. And why is it that every Apple release is a big deal to all of us? Kahit ilang beses na rin tayong na deskaril when the unit to be released is not what we expected. From:

    iPhone 3g – We expected iPhone 4 but they released 3gs. And then the iPhone 5, but they released the iPhone 4s. What else is new?

    Still, iPad HD will be better off compared to iPad 2 simply because it’s a new release.

    For me, I will settle for an android. Much lesser ang price but still,it serves its purpose.

    Good for the new product…
    But for me…
    No Bluetooth file transfer and always convert video format, big NO kahit gaano ka pa kaganda.

    Parehas lang naman ang mga features ng tablets and smart phones e. Mapa dual or quadcore… mapa IOS or ANDROID… small screen or big screen.

    Walang problems… HD nanaman ang trend ngayon…. kahit maging hologram HD pa yan… may competition pa rin dyan at parehas na magkakaron ng application dyan…

    Basic smartphone capability…
    Kung walang bluetooth file transfer and puro conversion ng video and walang external SD card… Sooobbrraaannngggg hassle and time consuming…
    Apple will never had my money… unless may magbigay sakin nyan… magamit ko lang… pero long time use… I think di ko makakatagal… ibenta ko lang… kahit titanium pa gamitin dyan na body… I’m more on OPTION OF USABILITY… lagyan ni apple nyun, I’m sure susubukan ko yan…

    My fearless forecast…. ASUS PADPHONE concept will be the next big thing in tablet history…

    I have the iPad 1 and I’m not planning to upgrade to this new iPad HD. I’d rather wait and save money for the MacBook air.

    I’d better buy an Asus Transformer Prime kahit may konting lapses siya sa Wi-Fi connectivity. Quad-core w/ a back-up core + keyboard dock = iPad PWNED!
