Apple’s next-generation version of the iPad, presumably due in early 2011, should ship with improvements that make up for the first generation’s shortcomings.
With the recent iOS 4.2.1 update, the iPad is finally now at OS parity with the current iPhones and iPod Touch devices and finally offers multitasking support.
Firstly we can say that right off the bat, the new iPad will almost certainly have the same built-in gyroscope that the iPhone 4 has in addition to the accelerometer. This is a no-brainer addition, as it vastly improves responsiveness and precision control for games and also will permit the creation of even more immersive augmented-reality applications on the tablet.
The reason being that with the much larger form factor, aiming the camera towards the subject’s face is going to be a lot more difficult unless the camera itself is on an adjustable swivel mechanism or is much higher resolution than the iPhone 4’s (higher than VGA, such as 2 Megapixels or better).
This is due to the fact that a larger form-factor device such as the iPad is going to be held much further away from the face with regular use than a smartphone due to ergonomic/biomechanical issues and will require the ability to zoom in and crop the facial image without significantly increasing pixelation.
With above considerations taken into account, a higher-res fixed position camera could work more like a desktop webcam (as the face would be about the same distance away) and could intelligently adjust the field of view and track subject head movement using a digital zoom, much like Logitech’s webcam software does on the PC.
It should also be stated that the next-generation iPad should be brought to parity or exceed the memory capabilities as its flagship phone counterpart. The iPhone 4 has 512MB of main memory in its A4 Package on a Package (PoP), but the iPad currently only has 256MB, the same as the iPhone 3GS.
Even a typical Android phone such as the Motorola Droid 2 has 512MB of RAM. The new HTC MyTouch 4G has 768MB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Viewsonic G both have 512MB of RAM and RIM’s yet-to-be-released QNX-based PlayBook has 1GB of RAM.
