]]> Comment on iPad HD… let it be true by Eric Crichlow http://www.stevesaxon.me/posts/2011/ipad-hd-let-it-be-true/#comment-140 Eric Crichlow Tue, 02 Aug 2011 08:55:36 +0000 http://www.stevesaxon.me/?p=164#comment-140 While an iPad HD would be the first iPad I actually had a real interest in owning, I'm much more excited about the rumors of Apple building their own line of hi-def televisions. Unfortunately I've missed the boat (in terms of getting in early) on the last 2 really big new platforms, the iPhone and the iPad. Coming late to those games puts you as one of a hundred thousand or more apps that anyone would have a hard time finding unless you got really, really lucky. But if Apple comes out with their own HDTVs, and opens them up for third party development, (though that's a big "if",) then there might be time to make a splash on that platform before the big boys throw multimillion dollar development budgets at it and before a thousand little guys produce a thousand gimmick apps for it that clog up the market.
