> John Gruber said it made sense for the iPad to be on a September release schedule (which actually makes no sense) based on no information whatsoever. The iPad, being a contract-less decision, makes a lot of sense as a Christmas purchase. The stuff about retina displays I think was based on the UltraHD icons and shit found in Lion. I think at least some of the thinking came from the idea that Apple wanted to do a super-high-res iPad (again, based on the direction of icons in Lion) and shift it's product cycle for the iPad from Spring to Fall. Since this was before the iPhone 4S was shifted from early summer, it made more sense a few months ago. I'd still like a bigger screen on the iPhone. Mah thumbs are big.
