The PG.biz Mobile Gaming Mavens on the chances of iPad 3 coming with added power, puppies, and a free tissue dispenser
Surreal doesn’t cover it
John Ozimek, Chomp/Dimoso: I have to admit, when I made it to the end of that first sentence, I was expecting a very different second sentence.
My boring but sensible answers. Firstly, operators need to offer proper unlimited data bundles for tablets - clearly consumers will stick to wifi unless there's better value out there.
A better app store experience built into the UI - iTunes is beginning to creak a bit now. Maybe we'll see something from the acquisition of Chomp?
I actually think that devs and media companies are still developing their strategies for the iPad, so another new device won't make a big difference as it's just more of the same. If it's got LTE built in, then that's a play for the US, and there's hardly any coverage in Europe yet.
David Thomson, Ludometrics: Anyway, aside from what's already been mentioned, my completely unsubstantiated rumour-mongering guess is: there won't be an iPad 3. There will be an iPad 2S and an Apple TV with an App Store. Brian Baglow, consultant: I am expecting Nokia to come out of nowhere with a proper follow up to the 6600 and at a stroke pull the rug out from under Apple's feet.
