I love my iPad2. That said, I have a few ideas for the developers. So listen up.
Here we go:
- Thinner and Lighter – most obviously
- Screen completely to the edges – I expect
- Unlimited battery life (I can see this not being an issue one day. What is going on with wireless energy transfer anyway? Read more here and here) or built-in extendable plug
- Unlimited hard-drive space (I bet one day in the near future we will laugh at the days ‘when people used to run out of space on their drives’. The notion of Cloud Computing is taking us leaps and bounds, but it is still in its infancy)
- Super-flipping fast because of terabytes and more of RAM and super wicked processors
- Two flashes built-in on the front and the back
- Magnetic electric cord – Macbooks have them. Why don’t the iPods, iPads, and iPhones?
- Ability to make phone calls with it – Hey! We thought phones were just getting smaller, but since maybe you only want to carry around the one device for that moment, why not?
- Biometric or fingerprint scans to turn the devices on or login – Other computers are doing this, why isn’t Apple?
- Water Proof
- USB slots. We all want them. Give em to us? Or is there a screaming new attachment slot that is better? Actually, why not magnetic USB? We can do it with the power cord. Let’s do it with the USB or whatever we want to call the Magnetic Universal Connecting Cord (MUCC – Trademark Thomas Adam Johnson 2011 – hehe)
- Auto-focus on the cameras and possibly even built-in OCR
- The incorporation of Adobe with Apple – Like WTF? (Why the Face? am I not allowed to view Flash content on my iPad without serious tweaks? let’s get out schnizzle together and make it work for the peeps)
I should work for Apple, but then the new device would be called the iTom. Yeah!
Some other ideas I read about were a stylus pen attachment and a holographic, interactive imagery (think Star Wars).

I really really do agree with your ideas for the iPad3 and more. I was hoping that in the future there will be unlimited battery life and unlimited hard-drive space. Also it would be very good if the camera has an auto focus, so when I take photos/videos it will be very nice to view on the iPad. I was quite disappointed of the camera on the iPad2 because the camera is not that high quality which makes the photos look bad.

Your information is very interesting. I strongly agree that Ipad should have USB slots. I found that very important.

I really like it. Thus what i think you could change is that, the bolded words should in clude the fist words too, other wise it would confuse your reader a bit..
Really cool sugestions.

Ideas about the unlimited battery life and unlimited hard-drive space sound cool, I’m looking forward for it!

Great ideas! I think apple will definitely have most, if not all, of those upgrades in the future. Knowing their marketing strategy, however, they’ll probably come in ones and twos per model to keep us buying. 😦

It a great idea that the screen come to the edge of the ipad and the wireless energy charging. Those are the greatest idea for ipad I ever heard.

I like it very much, but it’ll be much more easier to read if you summarize it more down

I like the unlimited battery idea. I really don’t like it if my Ipad run out of battery while I’m playing it.

I agree that these technology should make the battery last longer or unlimited battery.
If they can do that it will be a good technology
