3 Things I Expect to See in the iPad 3! (UPDATE - WILL NOT BE RELEASED AT iWorld)

As we all know, Apple's iPad 3 is expected to be announced sometime early next year. Some sources say that it will be announced at iWorld, which is scheduled from the 26th to the 28th of January 2012. In this article, I am going to give my personal opinion on what I'd like to see from the new iPad. 

 

Better Cameras

I am sure that you will agree that both the front and rear facing camera's on the iPad 2 are not of the best quality, and with no flash, they are a big letdown. The cameras on the iPad 2 are both less than a megapixel each. I would like to see at least a 5-megapixel camera with flash on the rear and a 3-megapixel on the the front of the iPad 3.

 

Retina Display 

 Many believed that the iPad 2 would be getting the patented best-in-class Retina Display. But sadly, that wasn't to be. Personally, I think if Apple doesn't upgrade the display on the iPad 3 from 1024x768 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) to a 2048x1536 Retina Display, then there is a strong potential that some iPad users might switch to the Andriod platform.

 

Siri Intergration

With Apple's voice assistant Siri being a key feature on the iPhone 4S, then this is a must for the iPad 3. I am sure that Siri would be one of it's main features for the iPad 3, as well. It will be another great way to work your way around the iPad, by speaking to it! I would love to see Siri on the iPad 3.

What would you think we will see from the iPad 3? Comment below.

iPad 2 to Possibly Be Announced on March 2


If all of the rumors are true, Apple will be holding a event in San Francisco on March 2 to announce the iPad 2. This amidst speculation that the iPad 2 would be delayed and other rumors involving the health of Steve Jobs. If Apple does announce the iPad 2 it is almost certain that it will feature a front-facing camera and be thinner than the original, 0.5-inch thick tablet. There will also likely be a performance boost with a RAM upgrade and possibly even dual-core processors.

Some other rumors involving the iPad 2 are that it might feature a retina display. However, the display will probably just be improved since adding a retina display of that size would likely result in a decent price increase. I really hope a gyroscope is added since seeing it on the iPhone 4, games have a more realistic feel to them which leads to a better user experience.

iPad Rumors

We're exactly 27 days from the iPad's launch day, and there were some rumors about it. Here is collection of some rumors that were shown on the web since it was announced:

1. Camera Support

Some found out on the iPad's SDK that there was a front facing camera support as well as a camera flash, zoom and video conferencing, and there was a space for a camera in the iPad's enclosure.

I don't think this will happen in this version of iPad, but definitely on future versions.

2. Widget Based Apps

Some noticed that there were some apps missing from the iPhone's OS, that apps were: Clock's, Calculator, Weather, Compass and Stock's, and there were some rumors that these apps would come to the iPad as Widget like based apps.

In my opinion, this will happen on this version of iPad. And is something that Apple has kept hidden.

3. Hulu for the iPad

Some weeks after the iPad was announced, there was a report that Hulu was making it's way to the iPad, with a paid subscription service.

I think this is very likely to happen in this version of iPad, and it would be very interesting to watch Hulu on the iPad.

There were some many other rumors, but I think these were the most interesting ones, I am very exited for the iPad's launch, specially to see if these rumors are really true.

What's Up With Apple • 2/27/10

Hey there! Rumors, leaks and tons of news are out on Apple and most people don't have the time or don't know where to get them. So I have created a videos series in which I showcase some news and rumors. Now, this series is somewhat similar to DRBUK's series called 'Apple News and Rumors', but it is going to be more often since he is at college. In this video I talk about:
