Except the roads can handle it in this case. Australia telco offers 4G and more 4G options will be unveiled this year. None of them will work on iPad due to it being the wrong frequency band. Yet Apple still advertises it.
Do you know of a case where a phone offers something it can't do in the region they sell it?

The 14.4Mbps that AT&T is claiming is 4G has existed in Australia since 2007 and has never been called 4G.
Whereas that carrier now offers an LTE service which it does call 4G.
People are being misled that the iPad will be able to go on to the 40Mbps LTE network but instead, it can only do DC-HSPA (42Mbps) which is more congested, higher pings and slower practical speeds.

Did you ever think: Perhaps there's a reason they are saying this? No one else has ever claimed this.
They also claim that you can run music just using the third processor and get 140 hours of playback (standard battery) or 10 hours of video playback.
Considering there's 6 other DSP/IO cores on there, why would they have to use the third core for anything but idling?

It seems the third core has better scaling on it afforded by not having higher scaling on it. Perhaps enabling lower voltage/clock levels than they could get on the 1.5GHz chips.
