In amongst all the talk of new iPads and Samsung Galaxy S III's, another product trending in the blogsosphere of late is Apple's MacBook range.
The new iPad has finally arrived, much to the excitement of the many who've been waiting anxiously since last Wednesday's announcement.
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.
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.
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.
The Retina display was arguably the most keenly anticipated feature of the third iPad installment. With users having become accustomed to a pixel-free experience with the iPhone 4 back in 2010, some were left disappointed by the unchanged screen in the fruit company's tablet sequel.
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.
