1. If you use a Retina display for even a week, the non-Retina display will look considerably worse when you switch back; you can't tell the difference until you actually use the device for an extended period.

2. I've heard from a few people that this is the case, but also that the iPad 4 charges faster, actually delivers on the 10-hour battery life claims and runs noticeably cooler.

Unrelated: I hate Gruber's pedantic style when it comes to Apple product names. Seriously, just write it the way Apple markets it.

I agree to this. I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad2. Every time I use my iPad2 the pixels seem distorted.

I'll be interested in hearing why he's not calling it the iPad mini.
