Because of the way Apple structures their major announcements iPad in the first quarter, WWDC and iPhone in the summer though perhaps with the iPhone, now it's fall the iPad event is a little weird, because it's really only half an event. The first half is what happened yesterday the unveiling of the new iPad. And the new stuff is mostly about hardware features. The Retina Display. The A5X. The new iSight. LTE. The Retina Display makes it purchase worthy alone, but the other specs Apple bragged about? Just specs. Moore's Law at play. Talking about them always seem somewhat embarrassing for Apple, a holdover from the days when they used to talk about megahertz and were trying to convince consumers that Pentium chips sucked.Even the software they showed is a little weird, conceptually. iPhoto certainly demoed impressively but it's also available on the iPad 2 and certainly doesn't require you spending $500 on the new iPad. And if their release cycle is any indication, next year's new new iPad will be a spit and polish update, like the iPad 2 was with the iPad 1.But there's a second half to the event, and it's way more exciting than the first.It happens in June at San Francisco's Moscone Center.
