Dave Courbanou writes on what the rumoured update would mean for the channel.
“For the channel (and for me personally), I think a double-resolution screen on the iPad would be incredible for a few reasons, but mainly I’m thinking about video collaboration and virtual desktops. Right now, running a virtual desktop on an iPad at a 1024×768 screen pretty much feels like 1999. Bump me up to 1280×800 and it’ll feel like I’m in this century.”
