After many months of speculation, Apple finally confirmed last Wednesday that the new iPad would be the company's first venture into the world of 4G LTE.
The nine day wait which Apple imposed upon us at the media event in San Francisco is finally over, with buyers all over the world taking deliveries of their iPad pre-orders, as well as Apple Stores serving customer after customer as the new iPad flies off the shelves. We will need to wait a while until the sales numbers are released so we can see just how successful the new iPad is in the early stages of availability, but all experts predict that the third-generation iPad will break all records.
The new iPad has finally arrived, much to the excitement of the many who've been waiting anxiously since last Wednesday's announcement.
The gadget loving world is currently suffering from a dire case of we need the new iPad syndrome, and will only be cured when the doors finally open and pre-orders finally start to hit our floor mats. For most of the countries around the world that are set to get the new iPad on the first launch day, it is only a few hours to wait until we can hand over our plastic friends to the good people at Apple and let them charge away. However, if you happen to be Australian, then the chances are you may already have collected the new iPad and are currently salivating over the beautiful Retina display.
If you are the type of person who listens to the age old 'size does matter' saying, then chances are that you spend most of your life walking around feeling inferior to those around you. General society has this belief that bigger is always better, in every situation, all of the time which in most circumstances I would strongly disagree with. However, if you are to believe the research carried out by Strategy Analytics then it would appear that bigger is indeed better when it comes to mobile devices.
Seven days after the special press event in San Francisco where the iPad 3 was unveiled, the reviews have began pouring in. With the embargo lifted, various top tech and general news sites have unleashed their hands-on opinions on the device, and we have a roundup of the top reviews from the tech pundits we know and love right here.
With the new, improved Retina-ready iPad set to hit our doormats and retailers shelves around the world in less than two days, one would imagine that there are plenty of gadget fans out there who are currently sitting on their iPad 2 which they probably want to get rid off in order to get the shiny new iPad. After all, the iPad 2 is so last week and come this Friday, it will no longer be the current model, meaning owners will inevitably want to replace it.
As well as the obvious introduction of the new iPad, Apple also made what many deemed as a statement of intent towards eventual connected TV by introducing an updated Apple TV device.
It's a subject we've touched on a few times over the last couple of months, and now the hype surrounding the rumors of the iPad 3 have been somewhat satisfied, the tech world can switch its attentions to other potential Apple releases - namely a 15-inch MacBook Air.
Sometimes we need to take a little step back from reality, take a look at the world through the eyes of a child and apply a little humor to our lives. It seems like a very rare occurrence that people actually stop and take the time to have a little fun these days, which is why the guys over at Scoopertino have taken the time to produce some light hearted entertainment for us by turning Apple's Siri assistant into a musical genius, belting out some all time classics.
