By the way, some iPad 2 models don't have GPS.03-22-11 04:17 PMLike 0 -
As far as battery life they were shooting for 12hrs i think (don't quote me on that). But i know for a fact "a full day" i what they were aiming for. All i hope is greater then 10hr or what the current ios on the ipad 4.5-6hrs on the ipad 2. They screwed up on the current build from what i read on tipb.Last edited by drethos; 03-22-11 at 04:31 PM.

Other question to you or anyone... Does the 16Gb version come with 3g or is just 32 Gb above?
Greetings and thanks.03-22-11 04:35 PMLike 0 - The wifi ipad 2's don't have gps, but have very very very very very very very very very very very limited gps abilities when paired with a iphone. Wi-Fi-only iPad gains limited GPS ability when tethered to iPhone 4 | TiPb. While our Playbooks will have a gps built in both types.
