According to the recent rumors regarding the launch of three of new iPad 3 tablet in the evening past those from DigiTimes announced that iPad 3 will be available on the market in next 3-4 months.

Meanwhile, Foxconn Electronics will begin to produce the next-generation iPads in January and to ramp up the production volume starting February, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report, which quoted Kevin Chang, an analyst of Citigroup Global Markets, as indicating.

They argue that Apple partners have already begun to deliver new components to manufacturers of the tablet and by March we should have the tablet available in stores. Since Apple prepares the iPad 3 launch, the company reduces stocks of components for the iPad 2 and in the first quarter of the year will reduce the number of products manufactured to clear their stocks before the new product launch.

The scenario presented by DigiTimes is consistent with the Apple made last year and a launch in March is very possible. From iPad 3 a lot of people expect Retina Display, more subtle forms and can more easily, a quad-core and an change iOS. I recommend you to not expect too much from the new tablet to not get a new disappointment on the part of Apple.

If you have a portable product of Apple then surely you know that the battery can not be changed by you at home in any way and you have to go to an Apple store or authorized service center to change it or to change the whole device. Many people wondered the reason behind the decision not to change batteries and a patent of Apple offers some explanations in this regard.

Apple patent says that its product design is extremely important and through it users define the experience they have with a product. To provide a pleasant design and a good experience Apple has designed its products to be pleasing to the eye but useful too, and that involves giving up of certain benefits and the ability to change the battery is one of them.

Of course there is also a financial motivation because Apple wins a lot of money from the changes of products whose batteries are not good; customers are forced to pay for repairs and new batteries. The impossibility to open the product has practical reasons for Apple to ensure a certain extent that users will not damage the product when they opened and to not replace the original parts with other non-original. For each of these restrictions there is always an explanation but that of design is not very convincing for me.

We have information indicating that Apple would have invested $ 1 billion in equipment with which Sharp would build Retina Displays for iPad 3 and for future iPhone 5 screens. We are talking about a huge investment that Apple makes at the partners factories in the idea to assure a steady flow of screens for iPad 3 with Retina Display that will sell extremely well.

It seems that Apple has managed to get a screen with 330 pixels per inch for iPad 3, all using new technologies to produce screens. This new screen mode will not use IPS technology but IGZO, so we talk about a major change for Apple.

Besides iPad 3, it seems that Sharp will build screens for iPhone 5 but it is not known yet how these screens will show. Sharp is one of three producers of future screen for iPad 3 because Samsung and LGD have been named among the winners of contracts with one of the largest companies in the world. Of course, this time the sources of U.S. analysts can not provide exact information about Apple contracts so it could be just dust in the eyes.

Nvidia Tegra 3 is the new quad-core chip that will be implemented in tablets to be launched later this year but next year too. We talk about a chip that should theoretically be the most powerful on the market but not in all respects, as it is shown in the picture above.

The graphics chip from Nvidia Tegra 3 was tested using benchmark GLBenchmark and notice that is weaker than the graphics chip implemented by Apple in iPad 2 and iPhone 4S this year. The difference is very high, even compared to the iPhone 4S, so great that it makes me think that something could be in the middle.

Nvidia Tegra 3 has a graphics chip produced by Nvidia and an A5 chip that has a dual-core GPU PowerVR 543MP2 and results from the above picture demonstrates practical supremacy chip made by Apple. The tests GLBenchmark were made at 1280×720 resolutions with both models of chips and the performance difference could have two explanations: either platform Tegra 3 is indeed weaker or the chip from Tegra 3 is not yet 100% optimized or GLBenchmark not recognize it.

The above results were obtained from Lenovo LePad K2 tablet, a tablet in the process of development so that the results to improve should double to overcome iPad 2. In the process it is clear that a quad-core will be more powerful than a dual-core, now remains to be seen and how much difference will matter in real life.

The iPad tablet is a mobile device, but 62% of the tablets bought by the consumers are used outdoors. The information comes from a study conducted in 15 countries on 15,000 consumers in the study did find the idea of so-called iConsumator habits. Researchers who conducted the study say that 40 million of iPad/iPad 2 was sold in 2010 and before but more than half of them are used only in the homes of consumers.

Apparently tablets are used in living room and replace personal computers without problems, at least for some users. For web browsing and watching video content the iPad tablet is perfect because it can be connected to a TV without any problems and can transmit content to it. I guess that in your case things are not much different but I’m sure you’ve removed at least once the tablet to “walk”.

I used the tablet outdoors a few times but generally I prefer to use the iPad for browsing because it’s easy to take it with me and do my job without any problems even if it has a smaller screen. At home the iPad tablet replaces the iPhone for gaming but do not replace the PC, always considering that on the computer you can work more easily.
