Wearable iPad

The latest news about the expected and upcoming iPad 3 from Apple is that it would have a full launch in March. Like the prior versions, as well as the iPhone 4 and 4S, it is supposed to contain a Retina display, although the resolution is rumored to be higher. With refurbished IPad models and previous releases beginning to drop in price, the IPad 3 is slated to have a number of improvements over its two predecessors.

With all of the major wireless providers now offering 4G connectivity, it is being said that the iPad 3 will be able to connect not only to Wi-Fi, but also to LTE networks (long term evolution). This will give the company’s flagship tablet the ability to transmit data faster than the previous versions. The product could also be built with a quad-core processor that would enable users to move more quickly between applications.

Another of the large talk surrounding the 3 is that LG and Samsung will be the suppliers of the upcoming Apple tablet’s display, making for great movie and video watching. Apple is said to have considered Sharp as a supplier but they “failed to pass Apple’s approval process for mass production,” according to Electronic Times Internet News. There is an expectation that the iPad 3 will be equipped with LCD panels made by both LG and Samsung that would have a screen resolution of 2048 by 1536.

Interestingly, the iPad 3 may also contain the Siri voice feature that the iPhone 4S enjoys. This is currently being incorporated into the iOS 5.1 beta version and may end up as a regular feature on the iPad 3 when it is released in March of this year. It is not compatible with the iPad 2 but very well may be an exciting addition to the 3 as developers continue to work on the software updates.

The battery life for the rumored Apple release is also expected to be a major upgrade over previous releases. This is especially important for individuals who use their tablet for work or educational purposes, as some battery issues have become small obstacles for Apple with past releases like the IPhone 4S. An improved camera for video chatting and face time is also expected to round out the major upgrades for the rumored IPad 3, among other features.

Like the iPhone 4S, the iPad 3 is likely to contain the A5 chip included in the models. The iPad 2 is already an incredible device and performing well, but as time moves on the necessity to upgrade the line was inevitable. Expect a strong reaction to the impending news of a launch for Apple’s newest expected device in 2012.
