2:15 AM - New Rumors About iPad3

Maybe you think you can have a rest after the crazy craze to iPhone4S, then you are wrong, because a bunch of rumors about iPad3 are back, a long time ago, some unknown mysterious apple employee who wasn't identified said that "ipad2 was a bit of a rush job and the third generation ipad is the one to make a song and dance about." But recently, it seems like we all focused on iPhone4S and left iPad3 behind us a little bit, so to get your attention, the rumor mill is back.

Let's see what's the word on the street about iPad3?

1. iPad 3 will support 4G?
Mobile devices of Apple that is 4G is very slow, most likely because the battery life matters. But the battery life of ipad is still incredible long, so the third generation version has the opportunity to support 4G, for now is Verizon and AT & T's LTE network. (To iPad3 has been released, Verizon and AT & T's LTE network should have been completed and put into market.)

2. 7-inch?
Jobs (he was a great man) said that he did not believe the 7-inch Tablet PC will be successful. But there are so many 7-inch computers Android have made a good example, some analysts seem like don't agree with Steve Jobs. I guess this rumor will never become a reality, due to the momentum of iPad, 7-inch Android PC virtually has no threat to them, and imagine how wonderful it is to watch videos on that high quality screen, but considered that Apple productions can't play other format videos on iPad, so to watch videos on them, mac dvd ripper is what we need.

3. iPad3 will use A6-the faster processor.

iPad3 will use more advanced and faster processor, this speculation makes some sense. Currently iPad2 is using A5 dual-core processor, but Android tablet which use quad-core processors is in preparation stage. Apple's next-generation A6 processor will catch up with Android or ever better? About that, the possibility is much bigger.

And as reported by AllThingsD, production has begun. Susquehanna financial analyst Jeff Fidacaro told AllThingsD that, after a supply chain check, it looks like Apple is increasing its fourth-quarter iPad builds by as much as one million units. The increase is speculated to be caused by an early iPad 3 production run. According to Fidacaro, "Since our last month supply chain checks we are now seeing 600,000 to one million iPad 3 builds showing up on the plan for the fourth quarter of calendar 2011. Our previous estimate did not include any iPad 3s." Fidacaro also told AllThingsD that he believes Apple shipped 11.5 million iPads in the third quarter and will likely ship 13 million in the fourth.

iPad2 is not perfect, either are other Apple productions, if we want to watch DVD on them, we need the help of some gadget like video converter ultimate, that's why we have expectation on the next generations, but it's pretty sure that iPhone5 wouldn't be released in a long time, obviously iPhone4S has replaced it, so some one guess will Apple play the same stunt with us that they will release iPad2.5 instead of iPad3? Funny guess.

2:53 AM - Five New Features iOS 6 Will Have, According to the Rumors

WWDC is coming in a week, however, according to the rumors, we won't see any iOS device in this conference, but what we won't miss is the information about iOS 6, Mountain Lion, iCloud and so on. iOS 6 will meet us until this fall, but there are many guesses about it, one of them is that many new features will be added to iOS 6.

The first one is MountainLionCenter, it is a Cydia tweak, which can allow users to freely control the notification center, In addition, it supports both portrait and landscape screen mode. Just like how Mac users open the notification center, users can tune out the interface via slipping the screen from right to left. In addition, if using MountainLionCerter, some icons in status bar may be hidden so developers add those icons to MountainLionCerter so that users can view them conveniently.

The second is Siri. Right, you may feel excited about this news, because generally, iPhone 4S is the only device that can use Siri right now. We can not only rip dvd to ipad to watch HD movies on the Retina Display, according to 9to5Mac, Siri will come to iPad with iOS 6. However, only new iPad can have it, so if you own a new iPad, you can talk to Siri at that time. It will come complete with music playback, iMessaging, calendar managing, reminders, weather, maps integration, emailing, notes, contacts searching, Safari integration, Worlfram-Alpha searching and more. The only thing missing from Siri for the iPad will be the phone-related commands.



The third one is iCloud Tabs. iCloud Tabs allows iCloud users to view the labels in Safari on multiple iOS and Mac devices. After clicking the iCloud Tabs on the iOS 6 device or Mac, the opened label on each device will be displayed in a synchronized list, so users can quickly select the label. iCloud Tabs on the iPhone and iPod touch was hidden in the Bookmark Toolbar.

Another one is Do Not Disturb. This feature lets users turn off the notifications and messages from notification center. Sources say that while the option is present directly in the Mountain Lion Notification Center, the Do Not Disturb toggle is stationed like the Airplane Mode button in settings.

Of course, the new features of iOS 6 are more than these. Mark Gurman over at 9to5Mac relays what trusted sources told him, that iOS 6 will also include Mail VIPs, which is a new feature Apple announced in OS X Mountain Lion that works in a manner similar to Gmail's Priority Inbox in that it automatically collects your important email messages.

We can do many things on iPad right now, like how to transfer photos from pc to ipad, and if these rumors about iOS 6 new features are true, it will be more convenient for us to make the most of iPad and other iOS devices, so about the authenticity of these information, we just wait for the WWDC in next week.
