iPad 3: Seems to be real and coming real soon

There are  images of the iPad 3′s new case design. These are always are early clues to how the new designs will look. Although they are not perfect; they are close enough to get an idea of what is to come.  Apple’s next  tablet should be released just next month. The iPad 3 should have Retina Display, an 8-megapixel camera,  4G LTE and a larger battery but the same battery life.  Word is that Apple will unveil the iPad 3 at a press conference on March 7th.

Amazon set to show new tablet on September 28th?

The tablet world is about to get a lot more active. Amazon sent out media invites on Friday for a press event that will be held in New York City on September 28th. That is it, no more information than that was provided by the invites.  We all expect the company to finally show us  its first Android tablet.

 

Rumors suggest that Amazon will be priced way under the price of  the  iPad.  Some think it will be by hundreds of dollars. Others even think that Amazon could price its tablet at the magical $99 to $200 range. It was reported this spring that Amazon was working on two tablets called  “Coyote”  and one called “Hollywood”.

 

The company’s first tablet device will be a 7-inch display and will run Android with a custom Amazon user interface on top. They already have the Amazon AppStore. They might not even add the Google Android Market Place. SaintelDaily will be at Amazon’s event, so will keep you updated.

HTC enters Tablet market

HTC plans to launch three tablet PCs in the first half of 2011 with the first model, the Flyer that will run on Android 2.3.  But users will be able to upgrade to Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) when it’s available. HTC will launch the Flyer on an un-named carrier. They plan to hit market before RIM’s PlayBook in March and Motorola’s Xoom in April.

HTC has focused on manufacturing smartphones in particular. It is currently the fourth biggest smartphone maker in the world. That is a big move for a company that has only been out since 1979. . Total 2010 revenues amounted to $9.57 billion.

Palm joins the tablet party

 

As expected Palm joins the tablet party. Endgadget must be really hated right now by HP. They just ruined HP’s February 9th event. They have posted internal webOS tablet pictures and information.

The Palm Tablet looks just like a  iPad.  There’s speakers, front facing camera, and a micro-USB port and Palm OS. It will be WiFi-only as well as models for AT&T 3G, and Verizon LTE versions of the Opal arriving in September 2011, and on AT&T LTE in July 2012. I am sure more will come out on this through out the day. We will keep you posted.
