iPad 3 to run iOS 6.0

Filed in: TabletsAppleiPad 3

This week sites appear to be finding a new operating system popping up in their access logs, these logs showing not just an unknown iPad version with iOS 6.0 and a new version of a web browser. This version of the iPad has been said more than a coincidental amount of times to be having a high definition display and an improved set of hardware to support it, as well as a slightly less likely ability to run on 4G LTE networks across the nation. Signs in access logs today suggest that this device will be running a new version of the iOS Apple mobile operating system along with a version 535.8 of the web browser that comes with the operating system.

Do Apple Employees Already Have iPads with iOS 6?

Do Apple Employees Already Have iPads with iOS 6?

Filed in: TabletsApple

Everyone's been digging through their web analytics looking for clues about the next iPad. But the rush to sift out details about new bits of hardware may have turned up Apple's next mobile operating system. Ars Technica claims that iPads running iOS 6 have been visiting its page, and the IP addresses locate them in Cupertino.
The iOS 6-using visitors are on top of visits from devices with a 2048x1536 resolution, which is the same as the rumored HD display attached to the next iPad. That said, user agents are easily spoofed by simple plugins for a number of browsers, so proceed with caution. Whatever the case, we probably won't see iOS 6 until later in the year, but if Ars is right, it's alr...

iPad 3 launch may include 8GB low-cost iPad 2

iPad 3 launch may include 8GB low-cost iPad 2

Posted on Mar 02, 2012 by MG1

Apple may be introducing two iPad 3 models and one lower-cost 8GB version of the iPad 2 at next week’s event, according to Digitimes, citing sources in the company’s upstream supply chain. Although this seems like an odd move, the source claims that the cheaper iPad 2 model will help Apple cover different segments to defend against upcoming Windows 8 tablets.
There’s been plenty of speculation around the iPad 3 with the most prominent rumor being the use of a Retina Display-like screen with Full HD resolution of 2048 x 1536 or a pixel density of 264dpi. As a result, some reports claim that the next-gen iPad may be called the iPad HD instead of the iPad 3.

Electronic retailer Best Buy has cut the price of Apple's uber-tablet, the iPad 2. The rumor mill is swirling that Apple is getting ready to introduce its next gen tablet next week, which would possibly explain why retailers are clearing their store shelves to make room. Best Buy is offering $50.00 off of all iPad 2 models.

Imminent iPad 3 launch prompts iPad 2 sale at Best Buy

Imminent iPad 3 launch prompts iPad 2 sale at Best Buy

Posted on Feb 28, 2012 by MG1

Apple is all but confirmed to be planning a press conference for March 7th during which it will unveil its next-generation iPad tablet. The iPad 3 is expected to feature a high-definition 2,048 x 1,536-pixel Retina Display along with a faster quad-core Apple A6 processor, embedded 4G LTE, an upgraded rear camera and a redesigned case. There is no question that the new iPad will be a significant upgrade compared to the current model, but not everyone needs the latest and greatest. For those willing to forgo the added speed, embedded LTE and HD display, Best Buy is now offering $50 off every iPad 2 model it carries. Of course buying the iPad 2 now at a $50 discount is a risky move — a number o...

Google tablet - 7-inch device in the works?

Posted on Feb 27, 2012 by MG3

Google will jump into the tablet market this year with its own 7-inch device, according to a DisplaySearch analyst.
The tablet market has experienced rapid growth over the past couple of years thanks to devices such as the iPad 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Kindle Fire and it looks as though Google wants in on that cake, with its Ice Cream Sandwich operating system providing it with a good starting point.
Speaking to Cnet, analyst Richard Shim suggested that a self-branded, 7-inch (1280x800) Google tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich would start production in April.

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 by MG15

A Shanghai court has rejected a request from a Chinese company to stop the sale of Apple's iPad in China, the latest development in an ongoing legal dispute over who owns the rights to the iPad name.

It also approved Apple's request to halt proceedings until another court in the southern province of Guangdong decides on a related appeal case.

Office for iPad repoortedly leaked, near ready

Office for iPad repoortedly leaked, near ready

Posted on Feb 21, 2012 by MG1

Microsoft's long-rumored Office for iPad got a much more tangible piece of evidence after a leak Tuesday purported to show the suite itself. As shown by The Daily, Office would be an all-encompassing single app with Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. The interface would recall OneNote but bring in more of the Metro interface language from Windows Phone and Windows 8.
It's not apparent if other apps would fill out Office, although Microsoft doesn't have as much of a need given the built-in e-mail app's Exchange sync support.

Chinese court orders ban on Apple's iPad

Chinese court orders ban on Apple's iPad

Filed in: TabletsAppleiPad

A lawyer representing Proview International on Monday announced that the Intermediate People’s Court in Huizhou, a city in southern China, ruled on Friday that distributors should stop selling iPads in China, Associated Press reports. Proview has claimed ownership of the “iPad” name in China and it says Apple is violating its trademark. “We bought Proview’s worldwide rights to the iPad trademark in 10 different countries several years ago. Proview refuses to honor their agreement with Apple in China and a Hong Kong court has sided with Apple in this matter,” Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said earlier in response to the lawsuits. Proview is looking to prevent Apple from importing or exporting ...

Rumor: iPad 3 to use new Apple A5X chip, have 8 MP camera

Rumor: iPad 3 to use new Apple A5X chip, have 8 MP camera

Posted on Feb 20, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: TabletsAppleiPad 3

Two new iPad 3 rumors sprang up over the weekend, rumors which we wish would stop already since we’ll know everything there is to know about the iPad 3 in less than a month. Anyway, the first rumor is from a Chinese website called WeiPhone, which managed to get a photo of what’s supposedly going to be the iPad 3 motherboard. On said motherboard is a massive chip labeled A5X, as in the successor to the A5 that’s currently inside the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. The folks at MacRumors took a close look at the markings on the chip and discovered that it was manufactured in late November. They also found the technical model number of this chip in question is S5L8945X. To put that into some perspective,...

Following various leaks and rumors, it has been widely speculated that Apple’s next generation iPad will feature a new high-resolution display. Now, using a purported iPad 3 display that was examine under a microscope, MacRumors has confirmed everyone’s suspicions: the iPad 3 will have an ultra-high resolution Retina Display. The iPad 3 display is the same 9.7-inch size as the panel used on its predecessor and looks similar to the naked eye. When compared under a microscope, however, the iPad 3 display’s pixels appeared to be one-quarter the size of those on the iPad 2. The next-generation iPad is rumored to be equipped with a new quad-core A6 processor, 4G LTE, better cameras and a larger b...

Apple iPad dominates South Korea with 80% market share

Apple iPad dominates South Korea with 80% market share

Posted on Feb 16, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: TabletsAppleiPad

South Korea, the country that Samsung and LG call home, apparently doesn’t care about either of those two companies’ Android tablets. According to The Korea Herald, sales of Apple’s iPad recently surpassed 1 million units, which to put into some perspective, means Apple owns somewhere between 70% to 80% of the tablet market in that country. Assuming that 75% is the real figure, that would mean Samsung’s and LG’s combined tablet sales don’t even add up to 350,000 units. Kind of pathetic when you think about it, but then again we’ve played with Android and we can see why it’s struggling in the market. Now all that being said, let us remind you that we filed a report a little over a week ago th...

Apple CEO Tim Cook comments on Amazon Kindle Fire and pre-paid Apple iPhone

Apple CEO Tim Cook comments on Amazon Kindle Fire and pre-paid Apple iPhone

Posted on Feb 15, 2012 by MG1

Apple CEO Tim Cook made some comments today at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, on a few subjects ranging from pre-paid versions of the Apple iPhone to the Amazon Kindle Fire. Speaking about the latter, Cook says that there is no doubt that Amazon has and will "sell a ton of units," and pointed out that the low priced tablet has carved out a niche for itself. The executive said that the low $199 price of the tablet is not the only factor behind its success, although he did say that some Kindle Fire buyers "soured" on the device after buying it and taking it home. "People feel great when they pay from their wallet, but when they get home and use [the tablet], the joy is ...

Apple's iPad outsells Galaxy tablets on Samsung's home turf

Apple's iPad outsells Galaxy tablets on Samsung's home turf

Posted on Feb 14, 2012 by MG1

It is estimated that Apple has sold more than 1 million iPads in the South Korean market, reports Korea Herald. The Cupertino-based company is outpacing Samsung by a wide margin, cornering 70% to 80% of the tablet market in South Korea according to the paper. The iPad 2 debuted in April 2011 and saw roughly 700,000 units sold by year’s end. Most South Koreans prefer to not be attached to a carrier’s data plan, as two out of three iPads sold are Wi-Fi only models. Many early adopters bought the iPad overseas before the device was formally available on the local market, so Korea Herald notes that the actual number of iPads in use could be far more than 1 million. Apple is expected to launch it...
