Few Things You Must Know About The New iPad

Apple released its iOS 5.1 and the new iPad, which is not iPad 3 or iPad HD, of course. People now can pre-order The new iPad and it will be available at 16th March, 2012 in few countries, such as USA, UK, Canada, HongKong and so on.

After the new iPad has been released, many faithful Apple fans felt both surprise and disappoint. When you review the conference, you will find that except the new iPad, there are many things that you need to think about and those things will be really helpful when you use iOS devices later. In the following article, I will talk about few highlights in the new iPad conference.

1. New Screen

The update of the iPad's screen is the most exciting and can be achieved prediction before the new iPad comes out. 2048*1536 resolution makes the new iPad's PPI reaching 264. Though it does not reach iPhone 4S's 330, Apple already calls it Retina. The higher resolution can bring more friendly user experience and more functions, such as the iPhoto in the conference. The most direct feeling is the visual experience.

2. The first 4G LTE devices of Apple

The new iPad is the first Apple devices that supports 4G LTE in the 37 years Apple history. This 4G LTE devices has the top speed of download at 73Mbps, which is 15 times of the HSDPA+ 14Mbps. And it also means that the following Apple's mobile devices will all support 4G LTE. Apple's support to 4G LTE also is a sign that 4G LTE's popular is not far away.

3. 5 million pixels

Although the iPad 2 has camera function, it is a really tasteless, because its photographic effect is just so so. Now the new iPad's iSight camera is 5 million pixels, supports image stabilization, face recognization, Apple designed ISP, infrared filter and F2.4 aperture and so on. It is almost the same as iPhone 4S's camera except the pixels.

4. Siri-liked function

It is a pity that Siri is not brought to the new iPad. And now iPhone 4S is the only devices that has Siri. However, the new iPad introduces a function that is really like Siri. You can voice input using this function. At the same time, in the iOS 5.1, Apple updates some functions, such as users can delete photos directly in the photo stream, Camera's shortcuts will always showed on the lock interface and the face recognization can show all the faces that being recognized.

5. 4-Core GPU

The new iPad has A5X CPU, but Tim Cook did not give a specific introduction. However, Apple gives the 4-Core GPU a really important introduction and say that it is 4 time faster than the Tegra 3 , which is being used in Android Tablet. The GPU is really a good news for Game lovers and 1080P video capture and also the edit functions.

Of course, in this conference, there are many other things that we need to pay attention, such as the Bluetooth 4.0, 45.2 watts Battery and so on. We have enough time to have a specific look at the new iPad from Apple after we get it in our own hands.

iPad 2 and iPad 3 Comparison: Is iPad 3 Taper and More Thick Thank iPad 2?

Thanks for iPad 2 Converter delevering this piece of news.

A forum post at Chinese site WeiPhone offers a photo of what is claimed to be the iPad 3's logic board showing an "A5X" system-on-a-chip.

Apple is expected to introduce an upgraded processor and graphics package for the iPad 3, with the assumption being that it would be called the A6 after the A4 initially appeared in the original iPad and iPhone 4 and was succeeded by the A5 in the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. But if this photo is to be believed, that assumption appears to have been incorrect, with Apple instead having branded the upgraded package with the A5X name.

MICGadget posts a roundup of circulating iPad 3 rumors, and also includes a few better side-by-side shots of what is believed to be the new iPad 3 back enclosure and the iPad 2 one.

Seen on top of each other, the iPad 3 does appear to have a more gradual taper to the edges than the iPad 2. The difference in size, however, is said to be minimal but seems exaggerated in this shot above due to the staggered positioning of the casings. The next shot shows that the difference in thickness is only 1-1.5mm, with the iPad 3 enclosure being slightly thicker than the iPad 2.

MICGadget also confirms that the iPad 3 camera lens hole is "noticeably larger", suggesting that there has been some improvement in the camera quality, though they seem to question whether or not it will make it all the way to 8 Megapixels as claimed by one publication.

These same iPad 3 enclosures have been seen in the hands of many sites now. It's not uncommon for parts and enclosures to leak out of Apple's supply chain as production of new products ramp up. The iPad 3 is believed to be in manufacturing at this time with an expected announcement date on March 7th.

Apple will Release iPad 3 in March and iPad 4 in October.

Are you looking forward?

According to Taiwan" Electronic Times" report, Apple will launch the full HD iPad 3 in March this year, and release in October iPad 4 with a killer app.

Informed sources said, iPad 3 will use the QXGA screen, resolution of 1536 x 2048, and the battery life will be extended, but the other configurations may not be able to give the user a surprise. However, Apple will take the opportunity to make iPad 2 price fall to $399.

iPad 3 and the iPad 2 that has reduced price will help apple fight against Sony, Motorola and Samsung and other competitors, these enterprises' tablet computers' price is currently about $359 or more.

But people insider said, because Google may release in April its independent brand tablet PCs, and fight against Kindle Fire for portal users, therefore the second quarter competition will be more fierce.

But the real competition will occur in the second half of the year, Apple will launch iPad 4 in October. Almost in the same period, Microsoft will release Windows 8, and Intel will launch Clover Trail-W platform.

The 9.7 inch iPad 4 is expected to have a substantial upgrade on the hardware configuration, and will integrate a series of killer applicationa to compete with Android, Wintel and WoA ( Windows on ARM ) camp.

Now Aiseesoft Studio is updating its iPad Converter Suite, so that it will certainly support iPad 3.

Is Apple iPad 3 coming out in early 2012?

According to a Citi analyst, Apple’s next-generation iPad -- likely called an iPad 3, is expected to come out in early 2012. If recent analysis about Apple's imminent tablet plans are true, the third-generation iPad will arrive sometime between February and April 2012. In a research note sent last Thursday, Richard Gardner said "several sources" indicated that Apple would launch its next-generation iOS tablet as much as a month earlier than it released the iPad 2 in 2011.

Such a device would be similar to the iPad 2, but include Apple's high-resolution retina display technology found on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S by doubling the iPad 3's screen resolution, said analyst Richard Gardner in a research note. The analyst also said that "there do not appear to be any significant technical hurdles remaining" to prevent the launch of a high-resolution iPad, which contradicts previous reports that fitting such a dense screen into an Apple tablet was one of the reasons Apple iPad 2 maintained the 1024 x 768 resolution of the first iPad. Both the first iPad and iPad 2 displays have a pixel density of 132 pixels per inch.

It’s reported that another feature of the next-generation iPad will have the same screen size but will be a bit thicker than the iPad 2, in order to support hardware that would increase the display resolution from 1,024-by-768 pixels to 2,048-by-1,536. iLounge's best source thinks that the iPad 3 will be 0.7 mm thicker, and trade magazine Digitimes has reported that Apple is at least considering a thicker unit in order to accommodate the sensors necessary for the better, so-called Retina Display (so dubbed because, according to Apple, the human eye cannot make out the individual pixels on the screen). If the iPad 3 does come out with a thicker body, it will join in on the great American tradition of emerging from the wintertime fatter than before.

Production of the new iPads is expected to reach 9.5-9.8 million units in the first quarter of 2012. Sales of iPad products totaled 25.06 million in the first three quarters of 2011 and are likely to reach 40 million units for all of 2011, the sources estimated. However, the new Android tablets like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime look to be much better direct competition for the iOS-based iPad than the first generation of tablets based on Google's mobile operating system. Cheaper, smaller device like Amazon's Kindle Fire, Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet, and even a sub-$100 tablet using a MIPS-based chip are starting to appear.

Apple could head off competition from similarly priced Android tablets at the pass by getting its latest, greatest tablet technology out a bit sooner than expected. That would also have the effect of reducing prices for older versions of the iPad, which would encourage consumers attracted to the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet to instead climb aboard the iOS platform at a discount.
