Apple Is Planning Big For The iPad 3


The folks over at 9to5mac have published a report in which they inform about a post over on ilab.cc which has images of iPad 3’s leaked components such as LCD panel, dock connector and a back plate.
The post says that the back panel will be comparatively thicker almost 1mm, which will accommodate new components and will come with a battery that is bigger in size to display more pixels and a dual LED backlitsystem. Other than these features, back panel will be the same as that of the iPad2. If we talk about 2,048-by-1, 536-pixel resolution display allegedly manufactured by Sharp, it complements it perfectly.

It was also mentioned that the back panel fits the iPad3 perfectly because the screw holes on the back plate are in the right places making that perfect fit possible. Due to this, the author is so sure that the Retina Display LCD panel of Sharp is designed for the leaked iPad 3 chassis, and another indication is the way the cable of LCD’s panel folds and connects to the base. In the product cover the iPad3 dock connector also fits. On top of it, the camera hole in the iPad3 case looks same as iPad2 when seen from outside. The diameter of the outside hole is 7mm as compared to the inside hole which is almost similar to the iPad 3. From the inside, there are design differences noted which indicated a change in the camera system which might be similar to the iPhone 4S.

This indicates that the camera lens and sensor are upgraded on iPad3 which is not a surprise given the low quality of the camera on iPad 2. Upgrading both the cameras is a clever idea from future perspective as the Retina Display of iPad 3 is of 3-megapixels.
These are just the leaks of the iPad 3! One can’t say surely what the actual tablet would turn out to be. These leaked parts could easily turn out to be prototypes so don’t read too much into them.
Another report form ChinaTimes informs that Apple has ordered 65 million 264PPI Retina displays from Samsung and LG. Whether this number includes order from Sharp is unclear. However, the production has reportedly begun.
9to5Mac informed that Apple ordered 40 million displays for the iPad 2 for comparison and indicates a substantial 60-70% increase over iPad 2. If this is true, Apple is going for the big thing with the iPad 3. iPad 2 sold over 15.4 million in the holiday quarter. With the Retina display coming in the iPad 3, previous sales records wouldn’t be hard to break. Emerging markets like China could compliment the sales.
For comparison, Apple ordered 40 million displays for the iPad 2. Today’s report indicates a substantial 60-70% increase over iPad 2. If these reports are true, Apple is thinking big for their new tablet.
Also the expected date of the announcement is during the first week of March, with 7th March the likely that. The shipping would start shortly afterwards. Apple is introducing a 10 inch Retina display which is bad news for Samsung, MotoGoogle and the 7-inch Kindle Fire.

Ipad 2 Accesories

Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
