Excitement for the iPad 3 has now started to build at a greater rate since we are approaching the usual release window for the device, and recent rumors suggest it’s on the way. There has been a huge amount of speculation regarding the third-generation iPad but none more so than the graphics because of what it will mean to certain gamers, although we should not overlook the display.
While we consider the graphics an important element to win over the gamers you also need a decent display as well, and we have reason to believe that the display for the new model could have four times the amount of pixels as the current version. Having already mentioned the fact that the iPad 3 could come with a Retina display (as used on the iPhone 4/4S) it’s hard to imagine what kind of impact this would have on how a game would look like, but we know 2012 is going to be a big year for gaming on mobile devices and it looks as though the ipad 3 could be at the forefront.
In December of last year a few photos were leaked of what looked like a Retina display for an upcoming iPad and it was clear to see there were three ribbon cables and not two, which could mean there would be a need for more data to be carried from the hardware to the display. Latest rumors suggest if this were the case then we could expect the iPad 3 to come with a resolution of 2048 x 1536, which is compared to 1024-by-768 for the current model.
Siri for iPad
This is the primary goal for Apple Developers. Bring Siri to iPhone 4, so users don't have to upgrade their mobile phones. Few weeks ago, we discovered that this operation was successfully made, but it makes iPhone 4 less fast and it do not communicates with Apple Servers to obtain better answers. Today, the Siri for iPhone 4 was enhanced, and is really fluid, not affecting iPhone 4 speed. But, always can't communicate with Apple Servers...
Apple just unveiled iOS 5 at the last WWDC. Like usually, it is the world's most advanced mobile operating system, but it is also the biggest leap Apple have taken since its existence with iOS. Here's our partial review of iOS: (We'll progress like Scott Forstall did in his keynote).
iOS main features
1- Notification Center
It is just incredible. Before, when we receive notifications, they were posted in the lock screen (nice but not really) and when we unlock the iPhone it is not persistant. Now, we have a "sexy" list right from the lock screen. We can swipe directly any item we want to open, and iOS 5 takes us directly to the app. If the iPhone was unlocked, a white bar appears in the top of the screen and disappears few seconds after. It's really convenient. And, an Android-like feature, you can swipe anywhere, anytime form your iPhone, and access Notification Center. Beautiful but addictive at the same time.
Apple unveiled iOS 5 at WWDC (WorldWide Developers Conference) and this post can teach you how to install iOS 5 on your iOS device.
Please notice that to install iOS 5 beta 7 you officially must be an Apple Developer and you must know a minimum of geek computer manipulations. (Using some codes for example). If you get any problem related to this, note that we will not be responsible, in any cases. You must know what you are doing. This is why this post is dedicated to geeks only.
First: You must download iOS5 beta7:
iPad 1 (669.66 MB): Multiupload (direct download)
iPad 2 (Wi-Fi, 677.89MB): Multiupload
iPad 2 (GSM, 685.17MB): Multiupload
iPhone 3GS (609.2MB): Multiupload
iPhone 4 (GSM, 730.2MB): Multiupload
iPod Touch 3rd generation (578.16MB): Multiupload
iPod Touch 4G (717.74MB): Multiupload
And you must also download iTunes 10.5 beta version, if you do not have it: Mac OS X, Windows 64 bit, Windows 32 bit.
When you installed iOS 5 beta and iTunes 10.5 beta, iTunes warns you that the device is not registered yet. Then go to this device by connecting by SSH (or afc2) and then go to this address:"/ System / Library / CoreServices /SystemVersion.plist" and delete these two lines:
Release Type
Beta
And now you can enjoy :)

The rumor of the day: The iPad 3 suppliers were chosen by Apple. Digitimes announces the first iPad 3 suppliers, but Apple hasn't confirmed yet.
LED Backlight: Radiant Opto-Electronics
ALOMED Screens: Samsung
Another rumor: iPad 3 may probably be announced in 2012. Some delays caused essentially by the AMOLED screen production, rumors confirms. However, a rumor tells that iPad 3 may be cheaper than iPad 2 and iPad, and this can exacerbate the competitions between Apple and Samsung especially, who provides the AMOLED screens. Strange not ?
One new day; and many new rumors. The last rumor concerns iPad 3's screen. Tim Cook was sighted in South Korea (but this information wasn't confirmed), the original's Samsung country to deal the integration of an AMOLED screen for the iPad 3.
What's AMOLED and why Apple is interested in this new technology ?
Apple is very interested in the AMOLED screen which makes iPad's screen less sensible to sun luminosity when you hold this tablet in your hands if you were outside home. Thus, this technology can maximize the battery life of the iPad, so it might be more than 10 hours durability.
Although Apple is interested in AMOLEDs screen, remind that it's hard to deal with Samsung, especially if Apple requested a new hardware, and this because Samsung rejects the domination of the iPad in the market (>90% of market share) and want the progress and success of the Galaxy Tab. Also, Apple recently gains the interdiction of the new Galaxy Tab in the US and the majority of European Countries.
