What the Generation 2 iPad should look like


I’ve been watching the feeds from folks who bought the initial wave of non-3G iPads (why you would get one of these without 3G is beyond me) and think we can come up with an initial list of things that folks will want in generation 2.

Let’s cover that today:

Better Wireless Connectivity

Folks have initially been having problems with Wi-Fi connectivity and my bet is with 3G they will have issues with both connectivity and bandwidth much like they did with the iPhone. Clearly the device favors a low cost service and the combination suggests, along with the current roll out of 4G, that the next iPad should have a reasonably priced 4G service.

It could be WiMax or LTE but it would need to be reasonably priced suggesting a clear plus would be iPhone tethering for the device so you wouldn’t have to subscribe to a redundant data service if you had both devices. So I’m thinking a Wi-Fi iPhone tethered configuration or a higher priced 4G device
