The next Apple iPad might come with a second-screen Smart Cover

18 August, 2015
What could be better for on the go entertainment and productivity than a spacious tablet screen? Well, a keyboard is quite helpful and why not one coupled with a comfy case. And as long as we are carrying around the extra case weight, why not a second screen?

eheh, 20 Aug 2015Mann... you have good stuff there what are you smoking late... moreHow 'bout we go back to the point where the cover is useless?

Also let's be honest here, if someone makes a stylus that turns into a laser shooter, that would sell in a single day more than all phones and tablets sold the last year.

    Anonymous, 19 Aug 2015I'm pretty sure you can answer the first question yourself.... moreBulletproof glass still breaks. The only reason why people called them bulletproof is because of the thickness. There is a silicone like liquid within the thick glass in between like a sandwich. The silicone is what stopping the bullet and the thickness halt the bullet speed. This glass is heavy, impractical and most importantly not capable of touch screen. Main reason smartphone's glass made thin is so that it do not interupt the touch screen capability.

If you cant, try going outside more, where there's real living people...you know, people that get distracted, or are naturally clumsy, or similar to what you just did there when writing, don't use their brain enough.

            The bulletproof glass thing was a suggestion on something that would be useful. You know what happens when you try to break a bulletproof glass with throwing it, hitting it or dropping it? - nothing. Try that compared to the gorilla glass "protection". It's what we call "something useful to have" unlike this cover.

            Now please go back to school and learn common sense.

              Bulletproof glass on a phone? Are you going on a battle and use a phone to cover yourself? Haha what kind of brain do you have? What smoke are smokin?

              You probably make your own phone and use a car battery...

                If you're designing something, design something that makes sense - unless this cover has some pretty solid hit resistance, as soon as you drop your iPad (which happens a lot as it is), you'll not only break it, but also the cover which knowing Apple will already cost a fortune.

                So what will happen? People will buy a case in which to put both the tablet and cover...yo dawg moment anyone?

                You want to "innovate" something (as if that happened over the last few years), try doing something worthwhile, like adapt bulletproof glass to phones, or a way to put a huge capacity of the battery. This is just a gimmick along the lines of the Kinnect - sounds pretty good, but at the end of the day, it's useless.

                                I think iPads currently have the perfect size(It feels like a book). I don't like the size and form factor of the 10.5" Android tablets, nor of the 7" tablets...

                                      Tab S is the main Tablet line of Samsung, it's nothing about productivity. It's the equivalent of the Galaxy S line. What you (probably) had in mind was/is Note Pro 12.2 .

                                      The Note Tablet line is Samsung's productivity line. Too bad that Samsung discontinued it, it was their best tablets by far...
