iPad 3

The newest rumors surrounding the iPad 3 indicate that Apple is planning on releasing two different models in 2012. It is unknown whether or not Apple plans on using the A6 processor with the iPad 3. It has also been speculated that Apple might push back the release of the iPad 3 to the second quarter of 2012 so that Apple has enough time to add a retina display as well.

Some tech insiders seem to think that Apple will release a first version of the newest iPad during the spring months like normal. Some feel it will be called the iPad 2S. These people then thing the “true iPad 3” will be released later in the year – perhaps in the late summer or earlier fall months.

There is some evidence to support the case for two different iPad models. A little while back Digitimes reported that the iPad 3 was headed into production and was headed for a March release. However, things point to a slightly upgraded iPad 2, instead of a brand-new, unique, iPad 3.

Apple doesn’t seem to be too terribly worried about rushing another model out onto the market and rightfully so. Apple still has a large market share of the tablet market and has steadily held it since the release of the original iPad.

However, with that being said, Apple knows it is in their best interests to release another revolutionary version of the iPad. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Apple will indeed be releasing two new versions of the iPad in the coming year.

iPods are More Than Portable Music Players

With the evolution of technology, companies like Apple have developed mini-multimedia devices called iPods. These small, but sturdy hand held media players have captured the attention of the world as they have sold over 42 million in recent years. They can now hold over 60 gigabytes of your favorite music, videos, data and files that you would like transferred from one pc to another.


There are wireless additions and open source software that can customize the operating system to handle applications designed by individual developers. The versatility of the iPods over palm pilots and other similar devices has made them valuable tools for work and play. It has been reported that some medical firms use them to transfer x-rays and client files from one practice to another while also being used to play medical videos for patient care. An iPod in the hand of a forward thinker can become a powerful tool, which can revolutionize work flow within many industries.


Training videos are another great use for the iPod and with the large storage capacity they can be used to coach through many medical procedures. For example, imagine ambulance services with personnel who carry iPods with videos that explain how to give CPR, deliver babies, perform tracheotomies, amputations or any other critical procedure just in case of emergency. This is just one way that this piece of technology can be used to save lives.


There really is no limit to the usefulness of the Apple iPod when creative imagination takes hold of one. There will always be, of course, the regular videos that it can play while you are on an airplane to a foreign country. It can hold more music than the average jukebox found at dance halls and social halls. It even categorizes your favorite genres and will quiz you about the very music downloaded into the iPod.


With wireless technologies becoming cheaper while covering wider ranges of distance, the iPod can keep constant connection within a corporate setting which can synchronize with everyone who uses the same information.


There are companies who can customize your iPod as well so that it matches your company logos or colors. Mostly the iPod will continue to be the toy that teens and young adults use to watch videos and listen to their favorite songs while adults add the customized features listed above. As storage devices, the possibilities are endless. How will you use yours?
