The first iPad was a big iPhone 3, so this one will be a big iPhone 4. iPad 3 will be a big iPhone 5. Why mess with a successful model?

  b/c the market demands it.

    how do you know what the market demands? you know through sales. The market liked a big iPhone 3, so it is reasonable to predict that they will like a big iPhone 4. Feature list: - front facing camera - "retinal" display - iPhone 4 style designing

      In the past couple years Apple has shown a much better ability at predicting what the market demands than random internet commentators. I don't think their thought process for the iPad was "big iPhone 3," as they changed many applications. The iPad 2 may share many features with the iPhone 4 because Apple now has the knowledge to execute those features and the technology is now mature, but the reasoning wouldn't be to "make a bigger version of the iPhone 4."

        Interestingly enough Steve has mentioned before that the iPad came first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6--_Z4unLQ0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6--_Z4unLQ0
