Apple Announces The new iPad
March 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment
After many months of speculation, Apple has finally unveiled The new iPad. The device is now just called iPad rather than iPad 3, iPad HD or iPad 2S as some had speculated. The reason for this could be to fall in line with how people view the iPod nano, iPod touch, Apple TV etc… each has a generation, but essentially they are not referred to as the Apple TV 3 as an example. We suspect that the next generation iPhone will simply be called iPhone or The new iPhone as it will be listed on the Apple website later on this year.
Back to the new iPad. The key features of this model are the Retina display, 5 megapixel camera with new optics, A5X processor and 4G connectivity to name a few things.

March 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment
We’ll find out for sure later on today, but rumours are hinting that the iPad 3 will be going on sale on March 16 (next Friday). The length between announcing the iPad 3 (which is later today) and when it will go on sale about match the iPad 2 launch last year. What isn’t clear at the moment is what countries it will launch in. Typically the iPad launches in the US and is followed a few weeks later with several other countries. Apple might be working on a more unified launch this year.
