Apple's new iPad device will not be supporting FaceTime over 4G - at least not initially - despite being faster than Wi-Fi in many cases.
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.
I wouldn't like to think how many presses, taps and clicks the 'track shipment' option on Apple's website and official app have notched up in the last few days from users who are desperate to find out where their new iPad is. The fact that Apple decided to allow customers to put through pre-orders for this new product launch means that email inboxes lit up all over the world at the beginning of the week with order progress updates advising that the order has been shipped by the company. Unfortunately for excited consumers, it seems that Apple had advised the delivery companies to hold onto the shipments and try their very hardest to make sure they were delivered on the official launch date this Friday.
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.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, you'll certainly have heard that Apple has showcased the latest addition to its iPad family - set to release at 8AM this Friday.
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.
Everyone is getting super excited about the third generation iPad. We might not be able to call it the iPad 3, but there is little doubting that this is fast becoming the most anticipated iPad release to date. With that huge Retina Display forming the centerpiece of what is sure to be a popular device, Apple has already seen unprecedented demand for the tablet.
If you've been hankering after some new iPad benchmarks, then today is your lucky day after one of the tablets found its way into the hands of someone who just had to do the right thing - run some benchmarks on it.
Apple iPad fans are currently sitting in that uncomfortable period which inevitably comes in the aftermath of the company teasing us with the details and specifications of the new device, then making us wait a whole nine days before we can get our hands on it. As is usually the case, millions of people around the world tuned in to the media event last Wednesday to get a glimpse of what Apple were bringing to the market with the new iPad, and judging by the social chatter as well as the fact that the pre-order system continually crashed, it seems that the reaction is overwhelmingly positive.
Despite arriving in a blaze of glory back in October, it's fair to say the Siri voice-recognition software is not what you'd consider to be the finished article.
