The Surface Pro will probably have a SSD that can do over 10x that. Random access speed is what matters for apps, and even tablet solid state storage are much faster than SD cards. The SD should be fine for audio and video though.

It would've also had a discrete GPU which would add much more to the total cost than a bigger HDD.

But in other areas (colour accuracy, viewing angles, contrast) they're already miles ahead. I think this is mainly because of Apple's aggressive use of high quality displays in their iOS devices, competitors had to try to match or surpass t

I don't know where they got their specs from but the iPad shoots 1080p video and has a 5MP rear camera.

The Register hates the iPhone (or loves the page view they get from hating it) so no surprises there.

I don't see any irony at all. The only similarity with those stories is the word "pirate".

Any idea of international pricing?

I imagine they don't see it worth the effort to squeeze iOS 6 into the iPad's 256MB RAM. (I know the 3GS also has 256MB of RAM but it's display resolution is much lower).

Azure is a redundancy service. They have their own data centre that hosts iCloud.

On my iPhone 4, iOS 6 is about 10% faster in the SunSpider test than iOS 5.1.

You can use them on iOS 5.1 by implementing the methods the subscripts map to on NSArray and NSDictionary (as well as mutable) in categories. For NSArray: - (id)objectAtIndexedSubscript:(NSUInteger)index { return [self objectA

Falcon Ridge will deliver 20Gbits/sec per channel (40 total), making the 5K iMac possible. But we will have to wait until 2014.

What's the problem with the OS and apps using as much available memory as possible?

Why have you commented three times about an article you haven't read, won't read, and about a topic you admit you have no interest in?

It's about time someone made a subreddit where all the links and almost all the comments are submitted by themselves. Not to mention most of the links are months old and hyperbolic rather than factual.

Has this been explicitly stated? I'm hoping they do unify under the single WinRT framework.

It's not the same graphics card either, although they're both bad enough that you probably won't be playing intensive 3D games on them. The main difference is that the Chromebox is limited to 4GB of RAM, whereas you can put upto 16GB in the

They're not speculating based on fact, they're speculating based on an anonymous source's tip, which may or may not be true. In fact given their history of posting about every Apple rumour that exists, I wouldn't put much weight onto the ac

The other advantages he mentioned (reduced heat, vibration, and as a consequence noise) would outweigh the price difference for a "living room" storage server. I certainly wouldn't want multiple 3.5" HDDs in my living room...
