Brace yourself for more madness at Apple stores. The next generation iPad is on its way. The internets is abuzz with rumors of when the iPad 3 will be released and what changes have been made to the product. Here are some things to note about Apple’s latest tablet release.
iPad 3 Rumors
All we know is that the next iPad is coming soon. But just what’s in it is still a mystery. While no rumor is certain, you can count on the next generation iPad having the following: upgraded screen resolution, faster processor, improved camera, longer battery life and the digital assistant Siri.
When Apple released a major update to their mobile operating system, iOS 5, they made various bug fixes and major upgrades. The upgrades everyone was talking about was iMessage and iCloud. But Apple also made it easier for iPad users to type with a software upgrade for the keyboard.
iPads are more than just for playing games. Many users spend lots of time typing on their iPad’s. Some spend their time replying to emails, taking notes in class, and yet others like me type up their blog posts on an iPad.
Before the iOS 5 upgrade, typing on an iPad involved touching the keys on the on-screen keyboard with the index finger one by one. Typing was easiest done as the iPad was on a stand on a desk. The difficulty arose when users were holding the iPad with both hands. Now imagine trying to type? You would have to let go of the iPad with one hand and use your other hand to touch the keys with your index finger, one letter at a time. As you do this, your other hand is probably getting tired of holding up your iPad.

This docking station for the iPad has it all. It’s got built in stereo speakers and works as a stand and a charging device too. The rotating housing allows you to position your iPad at the right angle and orientation. This item works great for watching movies and listening through the docking station speakers, which are better than the ones built into the iPad.

Steve Jobs is an inspiring individual who co-founded Apple, was then let go, then when he came back he transformed the company into one of the largest companies in the history of the world. His company didn’t invent the MP3 player, but the iPod revolutionized how we listen to music. The iPhone re-invented the telephone as we know it. The iPad made personal computing more personal than it ever has been. So what makes Apple so special? It’s not necessarily that they do it first, they just do it better. In fact, they do it so good history will believe they were the first.
Still in need of some more inspiration? Here are my top 5 favorite Steve Jobs quotes.
