The iPad 3 and Heaven: No One Really Knows

Run a Google search on the term “iPad 3″ and you’ll find no shortage of tech websites all proclaiming to know what’s coming down the pike with the new tablet from Apple. Truth be known though, facts about the iPad 3 are few and far between. In fact the only thing we do know for sure, is that it’s coming. But true to secretive Apple form, we even have to speculate on a release date of early March.

I suppose that’s part of the Apple mystique. It’s also part of what causes countless numbers of mind-numbed Apple fans to purchase every device that comes out of the company, regardless of how insanely expensive or utterly worthless it might be. If you don’t know what I mean, just consider the iTouch. It’s nothing more than an iPhone without the ability to make calls. Anyway, let’s not digress. Instead let’s use this space to add our predictions of what the new iPad will feature. If they fail to come true, we never had this conversation.

A6 Processor

Everyone who’s anyone says apples 3rd iPad will sport an A6 quad-core processor that might possibly put high-end laptops and desktops to shame. We’re not so sure about that, given the fact that plenty of knowledgeable people believe the A6 won’t be ready for market until late summer of this year. But perhaps Apple knows something we don’t. If they pull it off the iPad 3 would be in line with tablets using an NVIDIA or QUALCOMM quad-core.

Operating System

One of the most intriguing aspects of the iPad 3 will be its operating system. Always one to loathe Microsoft, Apple tries to stay one step ahead of Redmond. Yet Microsoft has decided to blur the lines between the tablet, smart phone, and laptop by integrating everything into a single OS called Windows 8. That OS is expected to début this spring. The question then becomes whether Apple will use iOS 5 or port Lion to the tablet. For all we know the uber cool developers over at Apple could marry the two and come up with a very strange offspring none of us recognizes. We’re betting the Lion port will be in play if Windows 8 takes off.

Everything Else

Once you get past the processor and OS everything else is elementary. It will be lighter and thinner than its predecessor, yet how much thinner they can get without simply releasing a piece of paper we don’t know. Rumours suggest the battery will be both thinner and more powerful, the retina display will be included, and Siri, that pretentious but sophisticated voice that got her start on GPS devices, will be talking to you as you navigate your menu system.

If you’re an Apple fan anticipating the release of the iPad 3 all we can say is: head for the light….head for the light!

iphone 5 release date

The release date of the iPhone 5 has inevitably become the subject of more and more speculation, due to the recent and untimely death of its developer, the late Steve Jobs.

This, combined with the wild speculation about the “game changing” technology and features of this next generation devise. Have made the iphone 5 the hottest topic of debate among tech heads throughout world.

The interest in the iphone 5′s next generation technology is even more heightened due to the fact that it was the great Steve Job’s last project, and that he was known to be very excited about it‘s cutting edge technology

These facts combined, Will make the wait for this unparalleled piece of tech history seem all the longer.

It is safe to assume therefore, that the demand for the new iphone will surpass anything yet released by apple, or any other company for that matter.

This then explains, the fevered debate concerning it’s release date.

A plethora of dates have been suggested, mostly in 2012, however some reports suggest it might not be until the following year.

One thing would seem certain however, Apple will be in no hurry to role out a half finished product as a legacy of the great Steve Jobs.

Rather, they will make sure that this final Jobs product, will shine as bright as the great man himself.

Some dates however, do seem to stick out more than others.

The one that seems the most logical, is sometime in October of 2012. Although this is by no means certain. And the actual release date of the devise will only be know by a very small group in the top echelons of Apple.

There were reportedly some problems with the iphone 5′s new sleek design. The smaller and thinner you make things, the harder it is to get them to do all the tricks. And this may have had some bearing on the time table.

Also, it is impossible to know with any certainty, how far along the project was when Jobs became too ill to continue.

Another possible date, could be June which is when Apple holds its’ Worldwide Developers Conference.

There is speculation in some quarters, that with the death of Jobs, Apple will start to lose it’s dominancy in the market. And that the ever more popular Android operating system will begin to gather momentum and eventually overhaul the I phone.

And when you consider, that the fortunes of the company took a serious nose dive during the years that Jobs was away from the company, and immediately improved again upon his return.

You can see why the jury is still out as far as the financial markets are concerned.

What is certain though, is that for now, the eyes of the world are on Apple in keen anticipation of the final Steve Jobs product.

There is no doubt that it will be as brilliant and shine as brightly as the great man himself.

The desire and demand for this new piece of wizardly will break all records, and it’s place in history is already assured.

Is it any wonder then, that the release date of the iphone 5 is the subject of such fervent speculation.
