10 Hints you need to know about iPAD3

    I'm planning to buy an iPad 2 as a graduation gift for myself. However, tech aficionados have been speculating the launch of  iPad 3 on March 7 event in San Francisco. So I'm giving you away the 10 hints you need to know:

1. The iPad 3 is expected to have a sharper resolution screen at 2048 pixels by 1536 pixels, with double the resolution of its predecessor - the iPad 2.

2. The new iPad is reported to be powered by either a quad-core A6 processor or a dual-core A5X chip.

3. Apple is likely to bring is voice-controlled personal assistant Siri to the dubbed iPad 3. However, it seems to be quite logical and has not been a recurring rumour.

4. Reportedly, the iPad 3 could sport the same 8-megapixel camera that the iPhone 4S does. The first iPad had no camera, followed by front and back-facing cameras on the iPad2. So, the advancement is expected.

5 . If rumours are to be believed, Apple will include added RAM. If we look back, we witnessed the improvements between the iPad and iPad 2. The first generation iPad had 256MB RAM, while the iPad was launched with 512MB RAM. It is likely that Apple this time will leapfrog to a full 1GB RAM in the iPad 3.

6. A new buttonless design? Of late, reports have come that say Apple will leave off the Home button in its iPad3, which has until now been a core element of its products including the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone lines. However, this is least expected.

7. Earlier, there were reports that the next version of the software, iOS 5.1, would hit on March 9. While there is little known about it, but it is expected to include a spate of improvements like expanded foreign language support for Siri.

8. Apple's new iPad model is reported to be sold by wireless carriers including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless.

9. It is not only the iPad 3 that is highly expected to be launched at the event. There are rumours that the company might come up with the improved Apple TV. According to reports, the Apple TV set-top box sold out at Best Buy's website led to speculation that the company might come up with its new and improved Apple TV, possibly with 1080p video support, to replace the old box. The current model supports only 720 HD.

10. Rationally, if the next-gen iPad is launced, the prices of the iPad 2 are likely to go down. So, those who are planning to buy the Apple iPad 2 like me, I suggest you to hold on.

Patience is a Virtue...
