A much beefier processor was needed to accomplish this. Also, not sure if anything out yet takes use of the multicore processor, which would probably lend to better results. ---

I am happy with the original ipad (64 gb/wifi/3g), just use it for email, games, and streaming, and web browsing but i got it for free from work anyways. I love the apple products but don’t like spending the big bucks for them when they have so many new ones coming out. I think it is so dumb that siri is not available on the ipad 3 but wait until the ipad 4 comes out 8 months after the ipad 3, it will have siri, better processor, and a bigger screen with an upgraded camera and it might even include a usb port or sd card slot 😉 I still like blackberry for work related since email, security, and keyboard are better than the iphone/android. ---

I am far from poor. This isn’t just about money. Its about practicality, quality of upgrades and availability. Its also about getting feedback from people who might know more about them than I do. On that note, Thanks for your input Walter. ---
