iPad 3 Rumour Round-Up

iPad 3 Rumour Round-Up - When the world got its first taste of the iPad, we were amazed at the stunning design, power, and performance and much like the iPhone, the simple fact that it just worked. 2 Years later and the anticipation for a third generation of the device is high, with expectations surrounding better resolution, improved design, boosted performance and the possibility of new and unexpected features.

Whilst being far from underwhelmed by the iPad 2, it never went far enough to offer anything that could compel me to upgrade my first gen device and, despite a host of apps which require the iPad 2’s power, I am yet to do so. But, if rumours are to be believed, the iPad 3 could make that step a near necessity.

Despite a release being some months away and possibly as much as a year away if reports are to be believed, the iPad 3 is already creating chatter, with Samsung’s A6 Quad-Core processor likely to power the device.

Retina Display is obviously at the top of most people’s list for the new iPad, though the reality is that we are a few years away from this being possible on such a large screen, especially when you account for the battery issues it would create.

Siri, despite her current problems, is likely to add a depth of interaction to the iPad and, properly implemented, could produce fantastic results for the iPads many uses

So, do you have any great expectations from the next gen of Apple’s domineering tablet? What would you like to see implemented into the new device?
