@Sooty: Exactly, though Apple have been known to release updates that slow down older devices so that might not always be the case. Still, the 3 isn't even a year old.
*cough* iPhone 3g *cough*
To be honest even if they do that I can just downgrade I guess. I really only need my iPad to gimme access to web browsing, iKnow and some other misc apps that would run on a toaster anyway. I can't imagine web browsing improving much on the iPad as it stands now, it's already on par with desktop browsing for speed imo. (certainly very close to it!)
I'm a bit disappointed with the 4. I was really expecting a weight reduction or a redesign in some way, I guess that'll come with the New New, New iPad.
Nowadays upgrading yearly doesn't phase me, I'm planning to make my 2011 MacBook Air and 3rd gen iPad last a long time, I've always wanted to keep hold of a machine for a good few years, is it geeky that I envy people who have these older, but fully working 2008 era MacBooks?! Oh lordy. I think phones are more viable for being updated every few years, I'll probably keep my S3 until 2014, then I need to figure out if I can buy a phone that will let me use it in the UK for a while before heading to Japan, would rather just swap sims out than have to buy a new device specifically. Fuck knows what I'm going to do with my gaming PC.
Tangent.
