iPad NEWS: iPad 3 as Fall 2011 Surprise

Posted: 09 Feb 2011 09:31 PM PST

Techcrunch reports that a iPad 3 is rumoured to be released this fall making Apple to speedup introducing two next generation iPads in one single year: iPad 2 in spring 2011 and iPad 3 in fall 2011.

"We've now heard that this "fall surprise" is related to this would-be iPad 3. We don't have any more concrete information beyond that. But, as of right now, the plan is apparently to release one iteration of the iPad in the next few weeks. And then blow the doors open with another new version in the fall.
[...] But Apple has a history of not resting on their laurels. That's perhaps the key reason why they've been so successful in recent years. And that's exactly why they strike with the iPad 3 in the fall.

Now, I have no details as to what this iPad 3 would include. But one very solid guess is a retina-like display that the iPhone 4 currently has. There's obviously been many rumors of this for the iPad 2, but it's not happening yet. But perhaps it could this fall. Another, slightly smaller form factor will clearly be another guess. Steve Jobs has famously played down that idea in the past -- but he often does that and turns around with an offering."

Update: Daring Fireball added a timeline predicting on when and what can be expected.
"...So, here's my guess at Apple's iPad plans for 2011:

An iPad 2, fairly soon. Say, a March announcement, shipping in the first week of April. Faster, more RAM, maybe more storage, thinner and lighter, a front-facing camera.1 Running iOS 4.3.

iOS 5, announced at a developer event in March, shipping in June.

iPad 3, shipping in September, announced at the annual iPod event. Running iOS 5.1, same as the next-generation iPod Touch.
