IPAD 3 (OR IPAD HD):

All the advances in a single article the last question that remains open is: how to call the new iPad ?  iPad 3, iPad, and iPad 2S HD

How will the new Apple iPad? this question since last autumn try to answer all kinds of sources, spreading all sorts of rumor and indiscretion. A few hours after the keynote presentation of the tablet, retrace all the features and news Early in the last few months, waiting to become reality (or perhaps not!).

The first highlights the iPad wanted 2, but unfortunately did not come this time but the chances seem to be more, we are talking about the much rumored Retina Display, 2048 × 1536 pixels , four times - as the number of pixels - compared to the display of the current two generations of iPad. The production of this "ambitious" high resolution screen has been disputed by Samsung and LG, but the latest information seems to award the victory to Sharp. With 264 pixels per inch, distributed over 9.7 inches diagonal, the expected iPad display 3 (or iPad HD ) may well declare "Retina", since the distance that you are using a tablet, we will not be able to distinguish a pixel on the other. Clues about the arrival of the Retina Display iPad are manifold: from tightens hidden in iPhone OS Beta 5 , the "leaked news" from Asian suppliers, the microscope images that show a prototype of the panel.

Next to the new processor there would be a much improved graphics card, capable of handling the millions of additional pixels of the new Retina Display by nearly 10 inches. You may also get the long awaited GB of RAM , ready to give a hand to developers around the world and to articulate their applications.

Let us finally to the newness of the software department, difficult to decipher and anticipate. You do not actually know anything yet: we can only rely on forecasts more or less fanciful. Logically it should make its appearance, voice-prompted the Syrians  and Bluetooth 4.0 , after their appearance on 'iPhone 4S, but nothing is supported by evidence "concrete". Maybe Apple will present iPhone OS 5.1  will bring modest changes on the iPhone and iPod Touch, but would reserve at the same time, interesting news on the tablet counterpart. Will be discovered!

To entertain the audience could get American support for 4G LTE networks , not yet supported by Italian operators. The form may be unique to some 4G operator (AT & T?). Other small novelty may be a new Smart Cover , which would keep the design of the first generation, but would get the ability to protect even the back of the tablet.

Pricing and Availability

Despite early rumors that anticipated prices "leaven" of about $ 80 in recent days have arrived reassuring confirmation about the maintenance of traditional pricing: $ 499, $ 599, $ 699 for the respective models' only Wi-Fi "16GB, 32GB and 64GB (would not be a new 128GB version), and $ 100 dollars more for the 3G/4G module. The conversion of prices into euro could bring unpleasant news, especially here in Italy, where prices have been "rounded" after the VAT increase to 21%. The Italian prices will then conform to those of the rest of Europe: € 479, € 579, € 679 and € 120 extra for the data connection.

The product launch in the U.S. market is expected on March 16 . Most likely - we still hope to the contrary - the marketing will be the first in a few countries, perhaps only the United States, to then open up the international market (and therefore also in Italy) on March 23 . Naturally expect the official announcement of the dates during the keynote.
