I don't understand how Apple can come out with a new version of a device ever few months...


What? Every manufacturer does this. Why is Apple under extra scrutiny when they do it?

Because Apple does it with the same product line, not with different products that are aimed at different levels of consumers.

Apple probably has the next 2 or 3 iPad planned out. Why not use some of the planned features for future iPads for the iPad 5 and blow away the competition?

In all likelihood, cost.

The iPad already carries lower margins than other Apple products presumably because Apple has found that consumers are more price sensitive in the tablet market.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Why? Samsung have probably released more products in the last month than Apple in the last ten years...

Every manufacturer does this. They take baby steps to make sure the product works, and to make a few extra bucks. R&D is insanely expensive, and they have to recoup those expenses.

So, they keep the product out a bit longer. As Econo pointed out above, Apple's sin is in naming their product line after the main product. By keeping it simple they make it look like they aren't innovating. Other manufacturers would release it under a new name, and expect you to think its very different when its not.

No, they have the same number of product lines Samsung has, Apple won't insult your intelligence by renaming it in hopes that you would think its a whole new product.
