@ethicalpaul Possible. But it would require the device itself to grow in size. Seems un-Apple-like to me.

@kwstewar I expect Apple to keep overall device the same size even with a 4-inch display.

@pranayk @siracusa … but I don't think Apple cares too much about iPhone-specific 2x apps on iPad being letterboxed.

@asymco Strikes me as a good reason why Apple should keep accumulating cash, no?

Apple would be doing pretty well if the iPhone 4S weren't such a disappointment.

@JohnWilson That's on the publishers. Apple didn't force them into higher than $9.99 prices.

@pranayk @siracusa … but I don't think Apple cares too much about iPhone-specific 2x apps on iPad being letterboxed.

@pranayk @siracusa A 9:5 or 16:9 iPhone would move even further away from the 4:3 iPad...

@rjonesy No, why would it? iPad already has a different aspect ratio than iPhone.

Me: What's cooler, an iMac or an iPad?

Jonas: An iPad, definitely. iMacs aren't cool. All you can do on iMacs is work.

@optshiftk Do you expect regular iPad to gain handwriting recognition? Ain't going to happen.

@parislemon @joestump Not unless they get working on LTE bands worldwide. LTE is US-only on iPad (3).

RT @ajsheets: Both the Phillies ( @Mike_FTW ) and Yankees ( @gruber ) lost today. Coincidence? I think not. Cocksuckers.

@TonyPeric That's because of Donnie Baseball. He brought the Yankee magic west.

RT @BloggingBombers: Cashman: Pettitte will start Sunday for the Yankees

@abstractmonkey I think he's the best pitcher of my lifetime. Immeasurably important to Yankees' success.

RT @biorhythmist: @gruber We are all Yankees fans today.

RT @jaysonst: How many other Yankees have ever had a 5-hit game that included 3 home runs before Granderson did it tonight? Not a one. Ever. Wow.

@kwstewar I expect Apple to keep overall device the same size even with a 4-inch display.

@kwstewar That would require making the display wider, which in turn would require the hardware to get bigger.

@glowreview I do. Perhaps that will change with higher pixel density displays.

@DevWithTheHair Not the phone. Just the display.

@chockenberry @asymco The difference is, I've heard it's still 1024x768. So take a vertical screenshot and display horizontal to simulate.

@rorycberger No, he said the new iPad doesn't have anything we haven't seen before. I have never before seen a display like this one.

@kwstewar That would require making the display wider, which in turn would require the hardware to get bigger.

@bryanbell Why make the hardware bigger, though? Smaller chin, smaller forehead, keeps the size the same. That's my bet.

@mixdup Then they should show us the real hardware and software.

@jeffclick What hardware is where?

@geekles Hardware, I believe.

Are there any LTE phones with 3.5" displays? Theory: trend of big 4.5" phones driven by the need for extra space for LTE hardware.

@lynnpye Possible, of course, but seemingly against the design of iOS. Apps are all full screen on iOS. Seems fundamental.

@bradleystein Turned off the "gloss" iOS automatically applies.

How long until iOS outsells Windows?

@jimmaiella Sure. Lots of apps do. Very common idiom on iOS.

@eastgate On iOS?

@jeffclick You might have to wait for iOS 6 for something like that.
