Everyone knows the old saying of "time flies when you're having fun", and that certainly seems to apply in this instance as it seems like only yesterday that Apple announced the launch of the iPad 2 in San Francisco. It has however, been twelve months since the introduction of the second-generation tablet, meaning Apple have once again taken to the stage in familiar surroundings and introduced the tablet loving world to the marvelous new iPad. Tim Cook and his team took to the stage in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and as usual, walked us through the device which I am in no doubt will change everything, again.
As expected, the Apple media event in San Francisco brought the world the next-generation iPad, available to pre-order immediately for mass launch in nine days time on March 16th. The event was handled and presented in a manner which we have all come to expect from Apple, with Tim Cook and Phil Schiller being joined by Eddy Cue on stage to run through the new features of not only the new iPad, but also the revamped Apple TV set-top box which will launch alongside it next week.
As I'm sure you will now be aware, Apple has finally showcased its upcoming iPad, complete with the Retina display, A5X chipset, and 4G LTE. No sooner does the tech world get a chance to digest the new features, does the fruit company reveal that its latest and greatest tablet is available to pre-order almost immediately. If you're an owner of an iPad or iPad 2, the chances are, you'll want to purchase this next one, which takes things to a whole new level - no matter which tasks you use your current iPad device for.
Today's Apple media event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco didn't bring us anything that we hadn't already been expecting for the past few weeks. The expected big announcements were made which centered around the release of the new iPad as well as a revamped Apple TV, featuring all of the specifications that had been predicted before hand. Apple also announced that all of their native, and official App Store applications have been updated to work seamlessly on the new iPad’s Retina display, which is definitely something that will be of benefit to those who are about to pre-order the new unit.
Although the talk of new iPad and updated Apple TV will undoubtedly dominate the headlines concerning Apple's media event in Yerba Buena, that doesn't necessarily downplay the rather significant software releases bundled into proceedings.
Tim Cook and his Apple team took to the stage in San Francisco as expected to announce the launch of the new iPad, throwing in a new Apple TV set top box for good measure. The announcement pretty much came as everyone had predicted, with no specifications or inclusions to blind side us. But while there has been plenty of talk about what hardware the company would introduce, little time was spent wondering about the software side of things and what the upgraded device would mean for the applications that we all know and love.
The San Francisco based Apple Media Event is on its way. With some of the world’s leading technology press packed into the Yerba Buena Arts Center, Tim Cook and his team took center stage to unveil the expected next-generation iPad as well as a revamped and improved Apple TV set-top box.
Unlike the apparent panic displayed by Apple in the run-up to the original iOS 5 release, which saw an near-unprecedented number of betas seeded to members of the fruit company's developer program, there have been comparatively few reports of what is to be expected with its first major revision - iOS 5.1.
One of Android’s strongest features that isn’t found anywhere on iOS is how you can share an item inside an app with any other supported app on your phone. Saw an interesting link through Reddit News Free? Share it via Twitter, Bluetooth, NFC, Facebook, Dropbox, Email, Read It Later etc. etc.
Sure, these pocket computers we call “smartphones” act as our camera, music player, internet communications device, portable gaming console (of sorts) and, of course, a phone but don’t you wish they had longer battery life? This is especially the case with Android smartphones which come with huge, battery-hogging displays and 4G LTE radios.
