iPad 3 - Launch likely in March

      Count the days for the exciting launch of next gen iPad 3 the new variant from the Cupertino based tech giant Apple. Reports suggest that the launch may be in March. But nothing about Apple products’ launch is sure till they actually launch it in the market.


      Apple is expected to sell close to 40 million units of its hot selling tablet in the next one year and the demand may go up substantially if Apple rolls out its next generation tablets soon. Many people are awaiting the launch of the new iPad from the tech giant and are delaying purchase of the existing version of the tablet.

      

One thing that has been confirmed by the biggest tech company in the world is the fact that it will not phase out iPad 2 after the launch of the next gen iPad. Instead, it will lower the price of the existing tablet and sell the new tablet on existing price slab.

      There are many rumors doing the rounds about the design and specifications of the forthcoming iPad 3. Reports suggest that the new iPad 3 will get a completely new design. However, there is no clue from the side of Apple on the upcoming iPads.  Anyway, here we go through the features the new iPad 3 and iPad Mini are rumored to have.

      The new tablet is going to see a complete transformation from processor to display and even camera and so the excitement is higher than the launch of iPad 2. Many new capabilities and features are expected to land on the new iPad. As per some sources, the new iPad will have an entirely fresh shape and design. According to Cydia Blog’s Mike, the video shows the new iPad will have a major re-design. “The tail end of the part makes a “U-turn”, whereas the iPad 2′s Microphone Mic Flex Cable makes almost 90-degree turn both ways.

      Though I am not sure ,but cannot rule out one thing which excites tech nerds. Apple may not wait to integrate quad core processor in its new iPad. This will make the iPad 3 truly fast. There are reports that the new iPad will be 4G LTE(Long Term Evolution) tablet, a faster wireless broadband technology designed to support roaming internet access. Apple feels safe with putting this service on the iPad instead of the iPhone (for now) because the service by its nature is a battery hog. The 11-hour iPad battery can better tolerate the power drain. The payoff is a faster Internet connection that will better leverage the iCloud. If the connection is fast enough it will give users the feel of local storage.

      There are lots of other features besides above mentioned. One is retina display.  Digitimes says that Apple is planning on some sort of higher resolution display for the next iPad, possibly of the same quality as the Retina Display currently available in later-model iPhones. One more important upgrade in the new tablet will have is camera. The iPhone 4S features an 8-megapixel camera, which could also find its way into the iPad 3.
