Love how Apple up-sells storage in hundred dollar increments. I just bought a 32GB SD card (class 10) for my camera for $50 and I'm not buying millions of them at a time.
These iPads ain't for you. Apple doesn't want two important kinds of customers: power-users and penny-pinchers. Simple as that.
Those were developed by "Power Users".

Not to mention $130 for a 3G chip and antenna. But that is the Apple way. The only good deal is the lowest end model.

After watching my 8 month old nephew beat on the iPad playing Baby Piano HD, I would have to disagree on the damage part.
My son have jumped on it stood on it and stamped on it. Not a single scratch or loss of performance. It is a pretty sturdy piece of hardware
Replaced the MVA matrix with IPS. Same bad cameras as 4G iPod Touch - 1MP in the back, even worse in the front. Suitable for video calls only IMHO. Too bad the models with cell connection don't support audio calls. Could've completely replaced a phone with a wired or bluetooth handsfree.
Not sure what you mean - all iPads have been IPS.

I'm really not. max-age and the Expires header, properly set, will control caching at just about every possible step. If you refresh apple.com several times, you'll notice the max-age cycles down with each refresh, and the Expires header stays the same. They're obviously set up to cause the page to have a short maximum lifetime in both public and private caches, and in the case of a launch, it's not that hard to make…
But that only solves for the case of predictable events. If you want to remain agile, and do deployments on an as-needed basis, then you need to cache bust with file naming or query parameters as I mention in other msg. Again, I'm pretty sure this is the preferred method of most web teams, and also appears to be what Apple is doing (atleast with a subset of their assets).

Warning: predrantry follows. If you want to participate in a market where things are priced according to what they cost the vendor, look into gypsum. In tech companies, cost-based pricing is good mostly for getting you fired from your Product Manager role. Tech products are priced according to the market. For many products, Apple competes aggressively on price. What that means is that within the product line , Apple…
