All Apple products have a cycle as to when a new version is released. I really hope the iPad isn't refreshed every year. I know you all think I'm crazy because everyone wants it to have a few more feature (see: Camera). Having already purchased one, I think because the iPad is perfect at what is was intended for: reading, an in-between iPhone/Mac, etc. It is also extremely fast. Because it is more of a computer, I really hope Apple waits at least two years before a refresh. Thoughts?
It matters because: 1. New is always better. 2. Apple makes it seem important. 3. Who doesn't want new?
The hardware could use some tweaks. A little more battery life, maybe, and a camera would be nice. Maybe a OLED screen. But as of right now, I'm more concerned about the software, multi-tasking, and the use of more powerful desktop programs. I'm definitely all for refreshing it. That way, I'd be able to treat it more like a computer, which I keep for more than 3 years at least.
