Resolutionary –that is what the iPad 3 is all about. Equipped with a 5MP iSight camera, ultrafast 4G LTE, and an amazing retina display, iPad 3 lovers can’t ask for more.

With the iPad 3 you will be actually touching your photos and will see them clearer than before. If you want to play piano on an app –you can play the piano too! This is something really revolutionary. The main focus however is the retina display hence the come on resolutionary coined by the Cupertino company.

Whether you like watching videos, looking at photos or reading with your iPad 3 you will surely have a lot of fun doing it and without the glare that other tablet PCs have.

According to Apple, everything that one does with the new iPad, one will do it through the tablet PC’s large and beautiful display. A wise man once said that when the display is better the experience is much better too.

What exactly does the iPad 3’s retina display offer? The retina display on this new device has a 2048 x 1536 resolution with greater color saturation and at 3.1 million pixels too!  And all these in a 9.7 inch space!

Although the display is way better than previous iPads, those who bought it recently are not very satisfied because of how much heat the batteries emit. Apart from this, some customers claim that the wireless access often disconnects and that the display itself has yellow lines. Apple is working on it though so those who haven’t bought the tablet PC just yet can wait for a better version of the iPad 3.

Even if there is a lot of bad press coming out about the said device however, a lot of people are still itching to get their hands on the iPad 3. The cult following of Apple has not yet waned, it seems.

The life-ruiningly fun game is now available at the Apple store and those who are fond of Homer and his family can now get to play the game for free. Yes for free!

Gamers can now access Springfield and take a look at never-before-seen scenes in Springfield. Fans say that it is about time that there is a Simpsons game for Apple users and as I write this update, many are now accessing iTunes to get a hold of Tapped Out.

In its quest for world domination, Apple has repeatedly sent its lawyers to ban its competitors from markets worldwide due to infringement.

Recent reports show that the Cupertino company also tried this in the German market but was denied for its request to ban the Galaxy Tab 10.1N.

The Regional Court in Dusseldorf denied Apple’s request to ban the Samsung tablet yesterday with the court stating that the Samsung product is sufficiently different from that of the iPads. This was a major blow to Apple’s ego because just over a week ago, it was declared by the Munich court that Samsung did not infringe Apple’s touch interface technology. It is interesting to note that Samsung had much difficulty with the market because of Apple’s lawsuits and appeal to the courts not only in Europe but in other parts of the world.

Although Apple is on the attacking end in this story, just last year, the company was sued by a company based in China for using the trademark iPad. There is no news yet about how Apple will go about in releasing the iPad 3 in China.

Apple is not about to let a market as big as China slip away just like that, one analyst says, the best that Apple could do is give the third generation iPad a new name, he continues.

Whatever happens though, one can be sure that Apple items will always be hot stuff. In fact, with rumors coming from all corners that the iPad 3 will be launched by Apple on March, Apple fanatics now have their moolah ready to buy the item.

Apple’s cult following is phenomenal and it is one of the very few brands that could make people  throw eggs at Apple stores just because the store did not open on time during the release of one of their devices (remember Beijing?).

The new iPad will be powered by A6 processors, sources say and it will come from Samsung. Rumor has been going around months ago that the third generation iPad will be sporting an A5 CPU and will be quite equipped to go head to head with the new tablet PCs released by other companies. Other predictions came out though that the iPad 3 will come in two versions but no one from Apple has confirmed this.

The good news is it will come in March according to reliable sources and this buzz is already creating a frenzy on what the iPad 3’s specs will be. It might hit the shops earlier though because Apple might be launching the product on Steve Jobs’s birthday which is on February 24^th. Many are praying that this will come true in a way because lots of people would like to get their hands on the new iPad. Whichever the case, it will arrive soon and no sooner than March and this is something we can all rely on.

One hundred percent accuracy is of course not possible when it comes to discussions like these so all we could provide is information from different sources and more often than not, contradictory. Do not fret though because one of these rumors are bound to come true anyway, it is all just a matter of time.

Pulse taking is a good way to get relevant information and one of the more sure things one can provide fans is that the A6 processor news might be true. However, if this does not come true, one thing is for sure, the iPad 3 will be quite powerful. No one knows how much the iPad 3 will cost but one only has to base it on how much the iPad 2 costs when it was launched.

Rumors on when the iPad 3 will be ready for consumers have been circulating allover the web keeping Apple fans excited. Although the rumors are undeniably a PR stunt from Apple, it is also undeniable that many people from the world over would like to know when they will finally get their hands on the new iPad. Reports say that some of the spare parts for the iPad 3 have already been delivered to Apple while the touch modules are set to be delivered by December. There is no official word from Apple just yet but reliable sources now know that the iPad 3 will be launched early 2012.

Fans of the iPad are relieved that there will not be an iPad 2S. Analysts say that if Apple releases a 2S, it will definitely cause quite a stir and the company would have to deal with a number of disgruntled would-be buyers. According to sources, Apple got millions of displays from Samsung, LG and Sharp along with a few other parts from different companies. LG reportedly got a $1.1 billion deal with Apple for the shipments this month and the next few months.

The production line for the new iPad will probably start on January but will go on full-scale a month later. It is safe to say that consumers might be able to see, touch and smell (or taste even) the iPad 3 by March of 2012. Now that word is out on when the iPad 3 is expected to be in the market, many fans are now contemplating not to buy the iPad 2 and just wait for Apple’s newest iPad. One has to remember though that these reports have not yet been confirmed by the technology giant and may not even reach the market by March next year.

If you haven’t heard, Barnes & Noble just came out with their response to Kindle. The beefier Nook is an award winning tablet and may be a better choice, analysts say. But as more and more tablets are out in the market, consumers are left confused.

Amazon’s Kindle however was just released and the tablet PC has now made its way into the hands of tablet fans. Whatever your opinion is regarding these tablets, Robert Cernansky in his article “Amazon Kindle Fire Vs Apple iPad Vs Android – A Tablet Choice for Everyone” said that Amazon’s Kindle Fire is a, “real threat to the sovereignty of the iPad.” This may be true but this bout will be decided by consumers. With so many Apple fanatics abound, it is difficult to say whether which tablet will win this year’s round. One however has to establish which tablet PC works best and which one will work best for you.

If you go to the Barnes & Noble store, you will find that the bookstore is selling Nook Simple Touch which according to CNT in June that it is the best e-ink reader. Nook Color on the other hand was dubbed by msnbc.com as the “best value in the tablet world” i.e. during its heyday. Barnes & Noble’s newest Nook is making quite a buzz in the World Wide Web. A wonderful device for HD entertainment, the Nook tablet sold at $249 is definitely a good buy. Amazon’s Kindle Fire on the other hand is putting up quite a fight. Since it is relatively more popular than the Nook Tablet, it might get more sales, analysts say. However, it is still too early to tell but many wonder what consumer reports say about the newest tablets in town. And another question is, is whether iPad will be sailing through this as smoothly as Apple expects.

For the past few months I have been facing my addiction to one of the most entertaining, time wasting and satisfying apps available on the iPad. If you do not have this app, you need to fire up your ipad and head right for the app store but only if you are ready to become a true ninja. The Fruit Ninja App sounded silly when I first heard friends describe it. “Dude, you gotta get this, it’s ADDICTING!”. “What do you do??”, I asked. “You ninja fruit!..DUH.”

To the crowd that takes themselves too seriously, you can stop reading right here and go check your e-trade app. But if your iPad is a source of fun and entertainment and you have not played Fruit Ninja, I highly recommend you understand that it may take over your life for a few days. You won’t be able to peel away.

This game works on the small screen of the iphone and iPod Touch but it really shines on the large display of the iPad and makes a multi-player capability work really well. You can go head to head with your ninja buddies to see who has the sweet ninja skills that are mandatory for all fruit ninjas.

The beauty of this game is the simplicity. You can opt for a “freestyle” mode where you just slice fruit, for as long as your heart desires. Also, there are mini-games and challenges to compete. Either way you Slice it…pun intended…Fruit Ninja is a great app for the iPad and one that the iPod Blog recommends.

It has been reported by USA Today that the Stacked Restaurant chain will use iPads at each table to allow customers to order food, which will reduce the cost and need of wait staff. The new chain is set to open their first restaurant in the SoCal area in May.

Each table will be equipped with an iPad encased in a metal framed stand and will allow customers to customize what toppings will go on their burgers, pizzas and salads. For burgers, they will have their choice of type of buns, meats and toppings by dragging icons on the multi-touch interface. Their final choice will be viewable on the iPad screen when the order is complete. Guests can also pay for their food via the iPad when their meal is completed.

Co-founder Paul Motenko said, “We’re not going to market it as an iPad restaurant. The Stacked Restaurant concept was created with the idea that guests would create their own meals and order them on table top, the iPad didn’t exist yet but the iPad was a breakthrough.”

The iPad has so many practical applications, the possibilities are truly limitless.
