According to one source, the iPad 3 will ensure Apple continued supremacy in the tablet market till October, when the killer iPad 4 arrives to demolish the challenge posed by Windows 8 tablets powered by Intel Clover Trail-W processors.
Sources amidst Taiwanese component manufacturers tell Digitimes that the iPad 3, to be launched in March, will feature a QXGA (1,536×2,048 pixels) display and longer battery life. Past reports have talked of a 14,000 mAh battery to be supplied by Simplo Technology and Dynapack International Technology.
Following the launch of iPad 3, Apple will reduce the price of iPad 2 to undercut competition from vendors such as Sony, Motorola Mobility and Samsung Electronics, who have products priced around the $359 mark.
I am skeptical, to say the least. Apple rarely undercuts itself by releasing two products in the same year. But we shall see. I’m buying an iPad 3 whenever it’s released this year – cannot wait!
