recent rumors are to be believed. The iPad 3 of Apple is expected to be
released by March in a special event that Apple will hold. However some reports
have given indications that the Apple may be releasing a new type of tablet PC.

Long Term Evolution or LTE is also anticipated for the iPad 3 along with
enhanced cameras and the Retina Display which will give the next generation
tablet PC a resolution similar to that of the iPhone 4S. Other reports have
also indicated that the upcoming iPad 3 will feature the A6 quad-core processor
which will enhance the graphics performance of the device and facilitate the
use of larger applications.

use of the iOS 5.1 on the iPad 3 is among the latest reports that have emerged
about the device along with the possible Siri feature. However no statements
were released by Apple in connection to these iPad 3 reports.

although earlier reports have indicated that other devices were made to run the
feature by hackers.
Aside from
the reports on the release of the iPad 3, reports have also emerged on a
possible eight-inch version of the device which may be available in the market
in the coming quarter. This device will reportedly come with some features that
the iPad 3 will have including LTE support and may compete with the Amazon
