Extra sources back iPad 3 with 2048x1536 display in 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
Sources on Friday supported beliefs that the iPad 3 would carry a 2048x1536 display. Apple was now due to start test productions with the more advanced screen in October with expectations of an early 2012 release. Tips to the WSJ had Apple contractors already building 1.5 million iPad 3s in the fall, in part to see if it can improve yields ahead of full production runs.

Apple Patents Design of the MacBook Air
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleMacBook Air 13-inch Mid 2009
Apple just patented the design of the MacBook Air, which is really the image we imagine when we talk about an Ultrabook.
Patent infringements on ornamental designs are not pursued as often as technology patents, and it is unlikely that Apple would go after Intel as long as the chipmaker is delivering the hardware for its computers, but this patent surely is interesting in the light of Intel's $300 million fund to support the launch of its Ultrabook idea. Could go Apple go after Acer, Asus and Samsung, once those firms are releasing Ultrabooks? Possibly.

Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksViewSonicViewPad 10Pro
ViewSonic on Monday unveiled the new ViewPad 10pro tablet, a dual-OS offering that packs both Windows and Android into a slim 10.1-inch slate. The ViewPad 10pro is one of the first consumer tablets powered by Intel’s 1.5GHz Atom Z670 processor, which minimizes power consumption and allows the 10pro to run for up to 8 hours on a single charge. “We listened to our customers. We made the ViewPad 10pro dual OS interface as quick and intuitive as possible, while partnering with industry CPU leader Intel to deliver the latest in design and innovation across all fronts,” said ViewSonic VP of business development Michael Holstein in a statement.

Rumor: iPad with "retina display" no longer coming out this fall
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
According to Taiwanese rumor site DigiTimes, who has a track record that’s square in the middle of the “it could be bullshit, it could be true” barometer of believability, Apple had hopes of launching a third generation iPad this fall, and shipping between 6.5 million and 8 million units by the end of this calendar year, but they had to scrap said plans because they’re finding it difficult to secure availability of LCD panels. Right now, the only manufacturer who can reliably make the 9.7 inch 2,048 x 1,536 pixel “retina display” that many are assuming will be the highlight feature of the iPad 3, is Sharp. Both Samsung and LG have yet to reach a satisfactory level of yields on such advanced ...

Trouble with high-resolution display yields might have pushed the next iPad for 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
The version of the iPad 2 with a high-res display, which was supposed to come by year-end, is now reportedly been delayed due to screen production issues.
Apple's next tablet is known as the iPad 2 Plus, iPad HD, or simply iPad 3, and some iOS 5 coding revealed that it should sport a screen with double the current resolution, or 2048x1536 pixels. The high-res slate is supposedly aimed at professional graphic designers, film editors and the like, and rumored to come with dedicated versions of Apple's image and video editing software.

ViewSonic ViewPad 10pro mixes together Windows 7, Android and a 1.5 GHz Atom processor
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksViewSonicViewPad 10Pro
Not sure whether you’re ready to commit to an Android or Windows 7 tablet? The ViewSonic ViewPad 10pro might be the solution. As the world’s first 10.1-inch tablet to offer a “true dual Windows and Android OS experience”, the ViewPad 10pro earns its stripes thanks to the new Intel Atom Z670 processor. Clocked at 1.5 GHz, the new chip minimizes power consumption while enabled smaller and thinner product designs.
In case the slate looks familiar — yes, this is the same device we handled at MWC 2011. At the helm of the ViewPad 10pro is a 1024×600 resolution 10.1-inch capacitive multi-touch panel. The slate also features 2GB of integrated memory, 1080p video playback support, a 1.3-megapixel f...

MSI Launches Slim 14" X460 and X460DX Notebooks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksMSI
If there’s one thing I like about computer technology, it’s progress. Late 2010, the best you could get from the 14” sector would have been something like the discontinued Dell XPS L401x. That laptop came with GeForce GT 425M, 4GB RAM, and an i5-460M CPU for a base price of $900. In March, we looked at the ASUS U41JF, which boasted an overclockable i3-380M, 4GB RAM, and the same GT 425M graphics card. Both of those laptops leveraged NVIDIA’s Optimus Technology to give you a balanced platform, but even $800 seems steep compared to AMD’s Llano laptops, which is why we’re seeing upgrades and price cuts everywhere.

More behind the scenes Apple shuffling today, with good news and bad about two of the most anticipated iOS devices on the horizon. The iPhone 5 could well be on track for a September 12 launch, Engadget‘s tipster informs them, after word that carrier Telefonica will begin scaling back its current iPhone stock in time for that date so as to “prepare us for the launch of a new smart phone.” However, Apple’s supposed plans for an iPad 3 release in the second half of 2011 have reportedly been axed over high-res screen shortages.

Are Notebook Manufacturers Unhappy With The Ultrabook's $1000 Price Tag?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Notebooks
Intel's pumped about its Ultrabook concept. How pumped? So pumped that earlier this week, the company created a $300 million fund to help spur on the development of the powerful, low weight, long lasting laptops. The companies that are actually making the Ultrabooks, though, are apparently a little less enthused. You see, Intel wants companies to sell Ultrabooks for less than $1,000 – probably to make them competitive with the MacBook Air. That number's making a few manufacturers shift uneasily in their seats.

LG P220 ultraportable specs and shipping date revealed, still no price tag
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksLGXNOTE P220-SE50K
We didn't have a great deal of info about this ultraportable when we went hands-on at Computex 2011, but we knew we liked its thin bezel and Air-like (though plastic) design. LG has now revealed the final specs and also announced it'll launch the P220 in Korea this month and in Europe shortly afterwards. The Core i7 that powered the model we saw previously has been switched out for a Core i5, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to have done a great deal for battery life, which LG says is around the 5.5-hour mark. In terms of ports, there's nothing faster than USB 2.0, and the color range will put some people off too: white pearl, pink pearl or blue pearl, and definitely no lobster red.

Unreleased MacBook Pro prototype with built-in 3G hits eBay
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksApple
A still-ongoing eBay auction has validated suspicions that Apple has been testing 3G-capable Macs for years. The 2007-era MacBook Pro prototype, originally bought off of Craigslist for parts, has a built-in Dynastream ANT2USB modem modified to fit in the aluminum chassis. It includes not just the necessary SIM card slot for the HSPA 3G access but a retractable antenna that would sit flush with one corner of the display.
