Apple iPad 3 Features and Release

The Apple iPad is one of the best-selling tablets in the world, and the iPad 3 is one of the most anticipated devices from Apple this year.

In a nutshell, the Apple iPad3 will feature a new, thinner and sleeker design, down nearly 20 percent in size compared to the iPad 2. It will also support full touchscreen HD display with a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536.

Apart from that, the iPad 3 will have a lighter battery life, reducing the weight of the tablet. However, the battery is reported to cost 20 to 30 percent more than the current iPad’s battery, which will also have a longer battery life.

It is also expected that the iPad 3 will have a wireless charging technology, which will be able to charge the battery and transfer data wirelessly.

iPad 3 Features :

A6 Processor: A6 is a Quad-core Processor (1.7GHz.), iPad 2 is A5 processor (900MHz dual-core) This would make the iPad 3 as powerful as any high-end desktop

iOS 5: It includes multitasking features, such as notifications, task-finishing, app-switching, location and background sound.

3D Feature and New Retina-Display: the screen resolution of the iPad3 will be 2048 x 1536 pixels

Cloud Computing:iCloud users can store photos, apps, calendars and access songs on iTunes without having them to store in the phone’s memory.

Camera:Unlike the iPad 2, the new tablet will come with LED flash to support the camera. It is expected to have a 5MP camera with 1080p or 720p video recording quality of 60 frames per second.

Finger-Print Proof:The touch screen will be coated with oleophobic materials, which will reduce the oil and fingerprints on the screen.

Release Date:There isn’t any official word from Apple on when the iPad 3 will be released; however, rumors indicate that it will be announced sometime early next year. Reports state the trial production is likely to start this October. One of the major reasons why the launch of the device has delayed is due to the Retina Display technology.

ANDROID – THE MOST ATTACKED MOBILE OS: MCAFEE

Malware attack on mobile devices, especially on Android platform, has surged in recent times, the computer security software maker McAfee said.

According to McAfee report, malware threat on Android device raised to 76 per cent since last quarter, making it the most vulnerable OS in the market. The report noted Android as the ‘most attacked mobile operating system.’

“This year we have seen record breaking numbers of malware, especially on mobile devices, where the uptick is in direct correlation to popularity,” Vincent Weafer, senior vice president of McAfee Labs, said in a statement.

Android over took Nokia’s Symbian OS as the most popular target for mobile malware developers. The rise of malware attack on Android may help cyber criminals to steal personal data from Android users.

The security firm added that these malwares may appear in “everything from calendar apps, to comedy apps to SMS messages to a fake Angry Birds updates”.

Interestingly, the report revealed that the hacker groups LulzSec and Anonymous were some of the prominent cyber news generators in 2011 Q2.

Sony Announces Two Tablets

     Last week, Sony announced two Android-powered tablets, Tablet S and Tablet P, with the earliest deliveries of the former beginning later this month. Surprisingly–and commendably–Sony made some interesting design and functionality choices with their very first tablets.

The more conventional of the two is the Tablet S, a WiFi-only 9.4-inch device in the traditional tablet packaging that runs on Android 3.1 (buyers will be able to upgrade to 3.2 later in the year). Features include DLNA compatibility–the ability to wirelessly “throw” sound and images to compatible devices–as well as a built-in infrared transmitter that turns the hardware into a multifunctional universal remote. Access to Sony-controlled music, videos and book stores is of course included.

The dual-screen Tablet P is the more unique of the two in terms of looks, with a folding clamshell design that opens to a pair of 5.5-inch touch-sensitive displays that can function separately (think an email inbox in the top window and the contents of a specific email in the bottom) or together.

Pre-orders for the Tablet S began on Wednesday, with deliveries expected later this month. The 16 gigabyte model costs $499 and the 32 gigabyte model $599. The WiFi- and 4G-compatible Tablet P will be sold through AT&T, though Sony has yet to release pricing information or details on availability.
