Apple iPad 3 in March

Apple iPad 3 in March

iPad 3 will ensure Apple continued supremacy in the tablet market till October, when the killer iPad 4 arrives to demolish the challenge posed by Windows 8 tablets powered by Intel Clover Trail-W processors.

Sources amidst Taiwanese component manufacturers tell Digitimes that the iPad 3, to be launched in March, will feature a QXGA (1,536x2,048 pixels) display and longer battery life. Past reports have talked of a 14,000 mAh battery to be supplied by Simplo Technology and Dynapack International Technology.

Following the launch of iPad 3, Apple will reduce the price of iPad 2 to undercut competition from vendors such as Sony, Motorola Mobility and Samsung Electronics, who have products priced around the $359 mark.

Perceiving a more credible threat from Windows 8 tablets powered by Intel's Clover Trail-W chipsets that support Windows applications such as Microsoft Office, Apple will launch the 9.7-inch iPad 4 with souped up hardware and integrated application suite in October.

Windows applications overwhelmingly remain ingrained into corporate IT culture. No matter how good and slick the integrated application suite that Apple comes up with, the challenge from Wintel- or WoA (Windows on ARM)-based tablet PCs to be released in the fourth quarter will remain formidable.
