Today, there's much anticipation towards the release of the new IPad 3 by Apple. The announcement set for today will be extra special as it is the first time that Apple has held this type of event after Steve Job's passing. There's a various amount of rumors going about on its specs and what type of features it will bring to the consumer. There is no doubt that it will be faster, possible boasting a 4G LTE and there are speculations that the display will be HD (according to qj.net). Also on the list of rumors is the storage size and how it will increase greatly in this upcoming device. Not sure if they will make any major changes to the overall design of the device and type of materials.
It will be interesting to see if the new
IPad will blend also. Given any major changes in its infrastructure. These announcements were major landmarks in the world of technology as they introduced innovation and creativity through such devices. It's great that Apple is carrying on with the tradition, as I am hoping to eventually get my hands on one of these.
As an update the Ipad 3 is finally released and I think its just another money grab for Apple. According to the Apple website, theres a new retina display, a 5MP Camera, 4G LTE, and new apps. Its still an impressive upgrade from the IPad 2 and I think it's enough features to make Apple fans line up to get their hands on this revolutionary device. I think many people will agree with the fact that they could have put these features in the device before. The reason why they don't do this is to boost their profits, it's all part of their so called "strategy." All this hype before the event launch creates free advertising and only helps in convincing customers that this device is the one to by. Nonetheless, Apple is a game changer and are one of the most innovative device makers in the market, so this type of behaviour is expected of them. Just hope they don't release an IPad 4 any time soon so that I can invest in this product before it becomes extinct!

ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking to get my hands one of these devices! Honestly though, I doubt the design of the product will change. That is what Apple breeds...simple, sleek, and fashionable. There are 3.1 million pixels (2048 x 1536) on the iPad, which is more than most HDTVs. That's stunning resolution. (However...you can only tell the difference between retina display and 1080p when you're about 15 feet away.)
ReplyDeleteIt seems that Apple will continue to dominate the tablet market, and the reasons are clear. There's simply no decent competition. Apple has mastered the most important requirement in design: usability. They have created an unprecedented user experience where satisfaction is paramount and the product is intuitive and easy-to-use.

Companies like Blackberry and Samsung are investing highly to compete in this tablet market, but are still short of innovation that Apple has to offer. It's because of their
Deleteability to provide for the future that makes them at the top.
Reading this depresses me. I bought an iPad(1) when I first started University (I'm in second year now) and now there is already a iPad(3). I feel so outdated, and I can't keep up with this technology.
ReplyDeleteFrom my understanding of the iPad(3) through the main features it will have are: a processor 10X faster than that of iPad(2), a 5mp camera, and Retina display.
Being honest based on a specification comparison to that of the iPad(2), I feel like this should be named iPad(2S). I guess Apple learned there lesson on this one...
This is funny, because the same scenario happened to me with the Iphone, it gets annoying
Deletebecause there isn't any definite timeline for releases. Instead consumers are required to
pitch in their pockets to get the latest and greatest, which is why Apple is at the top of
its game in revenue!
It's funny reading about this. I wrote an article on my blog slightly condemning the fad to buy new versions of the same technology. Why is such a high resolution necessary? Can't you accomplish the same tasks with an iPad 2? All that being said, I have to say I still sort of want to check out the iPad 3. We're all slaves!
