The Apple iPad3 will feature a new, thinner and sleeker design, down nearly 20 percent in size compared to the iPad 2. It will also support full touchscreen HD display with a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536. The iPad 3 will also have a lighter battery life, reducing the weight of the tablet.




A6 Processor

Now Apple is aiming to make the competition tougher by sporting an A6 Quad-core Processor in the iPad 3. This would make the iPad 3 as powerful as any high-end desktop.

iOS 5

The iPad 3 will come with the latest iOS 5, which will host the multi-touch gesture technology. However, analyst and tech enthusiasts predict that Apple would introduce OS X Lion for the tablet, since it will be powered by a quad-core processor.

Retina Display

Retina Display (after we’ve seen this function on the iPhone 4 we thought that iPad 2 will also going to have it but there wasn’t any, iPad 3 will probably come up with this improvement. With the Retina Display feature, the screen resolution of the iPad3 will be 2048 x 1536 pixels. However, it is said that the third version of the tablet is delayed due to Retina Display issues, and Apple is expected to ship the tablet in early 2012.


Cloud Computing

Apple will definitely include the iCloud technology in iPad 3. With iCloud users can store photos, apps, calendars and access songs on iTunes without having them to store in the phone’s memory.

According to recent research from Mark Moskowitz of JP Morgan, Apple are working on prototypes of the iPad 3, but not in a hurry to produce the device, since other companies are still not able to provide really competitive tablets.

iPad 3 pics
Analyst Mark Moskowitz on Friday said in a report that talked with representatives of the insider-Apple and was informed that before 2012 the company will not provide third generation iPad. "In my opinion, Apple should be not in a hurry " - says Mark. - "Tablets of other companies are still not so perfect, and this trend will continue until 2012."

The report Moskowitz found a place yet one tablet, namely Playbook from RIM. In the 2nd quarter of 2012, which ended on August 27, a Canadian company could not get the most impressive gains, despite the fact that she managed to sell only 200.000 Play Books.

It is interesting about this is that insiders in a conversation with Mark noted that Apple had planned to present iPad 3 at the end of this year, but now decided to postpone the release of the 2012-th.

In addition, it was said that Apple has some difficulties with the Retina-panel displays for iPad 3. What are the technical difficulties encountered with the production of Retina-panel displays for the future of the tablet - is unknown, and indeed, whether it is a major challenge revised plans of how to run iPad - it is not clear.

Recall that the iPad was presented at a presentation in San Francisco by Steve Jobs on January 27th of 2010. Home sales began on April 3 of 2010. On March 2 of 2011 the public was presented the second generation model, iPad 2, with improved characteristics.

While Apple is in no hurry to introduce a new iPhone 5, fans of the company can do nothing better than to look for and, not surprisingly, finding new options for the iPhone 5.Another photo, which allegedly depicted the iPhone 5, shows a thin phone with a large display and a silver trim that resembles the iPhone 4.

In general, the design fits into the concept of Apple, according to which the iPhone 5 is a rather upgrade its predecessor, but not entirely new and revolutionary product, the love of Steve Jobs. Nevertheless, it is surprising that despite the overall similarity with the iPhone 4 in the photo on the phone no sound switch and volume buttons.

Apple’s iPhone 4 has become one of the world’s favorite cameras over the last year. A cursory look at the photo stats from Flickr shows just how popular the iPhone 4 is when it comes to taking snaps, with huge numbers of photographs uploaded daily.




If you’re a budding iPhone photographer and have a hankering for the good old days when photos had timestamps then you’re in luck.
A new Cydia tweak, Stampr, brings timestamps to the iPhone’s camera app. Not only can you now have a handy reminder of the date and time you took the photo, but you can also add custom text via the app’s settings. Also in there you’ll find options for changing the text size and color – plenty for you to make your timestamps look just the way you want them for the maximum shot of nostalgia.


One nice feature that may get overlooked is the way Stampr actually saves two photos to your camera roll – one with the timestamp and one without. Useful for those that might want a pristine, unaltered version of their photos for editing, printing or distributing later.
You will, of course, need to have a jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to install it. Follow our step by step guide to jailbreak your iPhoneiPad or iPod touch on iOS 4.3.1 with Redsn0w, PwnageTool 4.3 (untethered | tethered) on Mac, or with Sn0wbreeze on Windows, or on iOS 4.3.2 with Redsn0w, PwnageTool 4.3 (tethered), or with Sn0wbreeze on Windows, or on iOS 4.3.3 using Redsn0wPwnageToolSn0wbreeze if you haven’t already.
Stampr is available from the iOS jailbreak store, Cydia and costs absolutely nothing.

One of the many complaints leveled at the iPhone design is the closed case, with no user-serviceable batteries. This has spawned multiple cases with inbuilt power supplies for extending the iPhone’s sometimes anaemic battery life. Granted the iPhone 4 is a great improvement over past models in the power department, but every little helps. But what if you don’t want a case with the added bulk of a battery?


Enter the new case and smart battery from Third Rail. The two-part system offers the best of both worlds – a slim iPhone 4 case with an attachable battery pack for when you need that little bit more juice – 1250mAh worth of juice to be exact. The $90 kit consists of one case and one smart battery, with further batteries available for $40 each. If you do happen to buy two or more batteries, there’s the added benefit of being able to stack them to create either a power hub or to charge them both at the same time.

The Third Rail™ System includes the Slim Case for iPhone 4 with a slide-on Smart Battery. Understanding that your daily power needs may vary, The System allows you to add power when you need it and remove it when you don’t!
The Slim Case is a sleek, everyday protective case with a high quality, soft-touch feel. The Smart Battery can also function as a standalone backup battery to power other devices via USB Adapter (included).
In this world where we’re all carrying around multiple devices the smart battery can also be used as a charger for almost anything thanks to its micro-USB port.
With many put off of traditional battery-increasing cases by their bulk, the Third Rail case and smart battery offer a great alternative to carrying around a power cord and sticking near a power outlet.

In the last year, just about every iPad case or stand has made it to my office for a review. While I don't always write them up, I often show the products on TUAW TV Live. It doesn't matter what I'm showing; there's always someone for whom the product is perfect, and a lot of people liked the case that I'm writing about here. For people who want the protection of a case and the convenience of the stand, the iChair (no, not thehelmsman's chair from Norway) is one of the better designs I've seen.
We received one of the iPad cases and an iPhone 4 case earlier this month for review, and while the iPhone case was inadvertently used as a giveaway for our TUAW meetups, I still have the iPad case and decided to give it a try. Vindi Sedey, the CEO of iChair, is trying to get funding on Kickstarter to start manufacturing the iPad 2 and fourth-generation iPod touch versions of the combo case and stand. At this point, he's quite a bit away from his goal of $15,000 worth of funding, but given the quality of the iChair for the original iPad, I thought I'd give the product a little push here on TUAW.


Check out the review of the original iChair on the next page, and if you like what you see, help out a young entrepreneur as a backer for his project.

Features

The iChair for iPad (US$49.00) is a slider-type case made of a grippable hard plastic material on the outside, and lined with a soft velour material on the inside. That inside liner is unique to the iChair; I've found that many other cases of this type retain the hard material on the inside as well, and for some reason it often collects dust that ends up on the back of the iPad. The iChair material tends to remove the dust from the iPad, and I've found in testing that it also seems to keep dust from accumulating behind the iPad in the first place.
While the iChair is made of black plastic, the top is replaceable with an included extra cap. In the package I received, the second cap was a nice dark blue to create a two-tone case. When purchasing the iChair, there's a choice of the blue cap or a white one. The package also contains a screen protector to keep the iPad display from scratches. I personally like the thin design of the iChair. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the iPad, unlike many of the other iPad stands and cases we've reviewed.
So where does the iChair get its name? From the fact that thanks to two small locking plastic tabs that snap out from the body of the case, the iChair can "sit up" in landscape or portrait orientation. When you're planning on doing some hardcore typing on the iPad, the iChair props up into a slight slant that's perfect for tapping on the virtual keyboard.

Hands-on Video

To show you the iChair in action, I put together a quick two-minute video showing what it looks like and how it works.

Conclusion

The iChair for iPad is thin, sturdy, and useful. At $49, it beats many competitive products on price, and the extra top cap gives the iChair a nice custom feel. If you'd like to see this product for iPad 2, be sure to visit the iChair Kickstarter page and consider backing the project

Apple has just made its second-generation iPad official! It features a 1GHz dual-core A5 chip and,finally, cameras, both on the front and rear. The new CPU is said to be up to twice as fast, with graphics performance up to nine times better than on the original iPad, while power requirements have been kept the same.



 Battery life is, consequently, unaltered, with Apple promising 10 hours. Pricing, too, has been left unchanged, starting at $499 for a 16GB WiFi-only iPad 2 and stretching up to $829 for a WiFi + 3G SKU with 64GB of storage. The new tablet will come with an HDMI output capable of 1080p -- which will set you back $39 for the requisite dongle, called an Apple Digital AV Adapter -- but there will sadly be no rumblings of Thunderbolt connectivity here. What you will get is an enlarged speaker grille on the back, as expected, and the same 1024 x 768 resolution and IPS LCD screen technology as on the original iPad.

Update: We've gotten our first hands-on with the iPad 2 and, boy oh boy, it's fast!


720p video recording at 30fps will be on tap from the rear-facing camera, which can also do a 5x digital zoom if you're into that kind of thing, whereas the front-facing imager will record at a more modest VGA resolution, also at 30fps.

There's a new cover for the device, which is best defined by Steve Jobs himself: "We designed the case right alongside the product. It's not a case -- it's a cover." Basically, it's a magnetic flap that protects the front and automatically wakes and puts the device to sleep according to whether it's open or closed. Guess we know what that proximity sensor was about now. These Smart Covers will cost $39 in plastic or $69 if you opt for leather.

The iPad 2 is 33 percent thinner than its predecessor, at a mind-melting 8.8mm, and a little lighter at just over 600g, while paintjob options have been expanded: you'll get a choice between white and black. It'll be available on both AT&T and Verizon, and all variants start shipping on March 11th. Apple Retail Stores will start sales at the unusual hour of 5PM, which will probably make online pre-orders the fastest way to get yours.

In terms of new software, Apple's launching iOS 4.3 alongside the new iPad and bringing with it much improved Safari performance as well as FaceTime, Photo Booth, iMovie and GarageBand (the latter two costing $4.99 a piece) apps specifically for the newly camera-enriched iPad. Personal Hotspot capabilities are also arriving in the latest version of the OS, but they'll be exclusive to the iPhone 4, so you won't be able to share your 3G iPad's connection. The minimum compatible version of iTunes for the new iPad 2 will be the freshly released 10.2.
