He is a HUGE (literally) voice guy, not to mention actor on Rules of Engagement. He is an even larger Pearl Jam fan. He is new to twitter. Ask all the PJ questions. Ask what he thinks of Rolling Stone mag. Ask all the kids questions he has four. Why Talon? is Gabriel the only guitar player? Are any bigger than him? Did he play football? Who are his favorite teams. Shit we all hear and have heard the "job" questions. go for the man. Get Eddie Vedder there and Patrick will show up. Interview Patrick Warburton.

As far as the 30-pin connector goes, I can only assume Apple switched (from Firewire on the 1st two iPods) to add some future flexibility. That decision has allowed the connector to supply power, audio, car audio integration, and now video outputs. Not bad for something that was adopted eight years ago. As for the RAM, I have to believe that Apple has upgraded to 512MB, and will be disappointed if they stuck with the status quo. Whenever I have issues with my iPhone 4, I know it's from a lack of free RAM, and cleaning up the background-running apps always does the trick. And with all the added apps coming to the new iPad, it will need the additional RAM. A agree that the screen needed no upgrade... although it wouldn't surprise me to see the "retina display" on the next gen iPad. First off, thanks for the reply…

This maybe isn't a huge thing. They've been using the 30 pin connector for so long that to change now would definitely cause something of a backlash. People would be kinda pissed that they can't use all their old peripherals with the new iPad, without the use of some kind of adapter. Although personally I would have preferred had Apple used USB ports in their devices from day one. But that's just me. 2.This depends on who the rumour is coming from. Others say the memory won't improve. But as you say, it only matters if it enhances the user experience. http://gizmodo.com/#!5774768/does-the-ipad-2-really-only-have-256mb-of-ram 3. To be fair, at that size the screen is pretty decent. 4. The camera used for facetime may be useful, but using a tablet as a camera seems rather unwieldy. Even for facetime I would be inclined to get a dock for it rather than hold it. The iPad has some advantages over it's competition, but are most people really going to notice the difference in processor speeds over the Xoom tablet? You also have to consider that, until the iPad, there wasn't much, if any, of a market for tablets. 1. This maybe isn’t a huge thing.
