Apple unveiled at an event in San Francisco, a new model of Tablet PC iPad. He has a 4-core processor A5X and, as expected, high-resolution screen. Apple, apparently, decided to abandon the numbers or letters in the name - now it's just a "new iPad".
Conducted a presentation from the scene Center for the Arts Yerba Buena in San Francisco, Apple CEO Tim Cook. He began by saying that boasted of the successes of the company - in the last year alone has sold more than 300 million devices on the mobile platform iOS. These include smartphones iPhone, iPod Touch and players planshetniki iPad. Cook spoke about how Apple sees itself as the main driving force behind the era of "post-PC" and how the iPod completely changed the world of music, and iPhone - phone market. iPad is changing the concept of mobile computers.
First announced a novelty, however, was not a new iPad, and an updated version of set-top box Apple TV. It allows you to finally show the video in the resolution of Full HD 1080p (instead of 720p). In addition, the console will be able to recommend the users to certain movies and TV shows based on their tastes - such a function (Genius) is already in iTunes, and on all devices with iOS. Apple TV will also have access to "cloud" service iCloud and be able to play music uploaded by users on the servers Apple. In Russia, this feature is not yet available. A function "photostream" will see on the TV screen made on the iPhone or iPad photos immediately after they are automatically loaded into the Web. Price consoles - $ 99 - will not change, it will go on sale next week.
Then, Apple CEO went to the presentation of the third model iPad. In tablet processor with 4-core graphics A5X, and, as expected, high-resolution screen. As noted by Tim Cook, the on-screen tablet-piseley more points than on the screens of today's TV Full HD. The device is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera on the back and can shoot video Full HD. In this case the camera uses the same high-quality sensor, as in the smartphone iPhone 4S. As expected, the version of the module access to cellular networks supports both 2G and 3G, as well as the most modern standard, LTE. True, the new technology there is a small disadvantage - when you connect the battery to LTE networks iPad not enough 10 hours and 9.
As it turned out, the new iPad (as would be called third-generation device, is still not clear) will be able to "understand" the voice of the owner and record the text of the dictation. Does it mean full implementation of the voice assistant Siri, as in iPhone 4S, is unclear. To activate the account, you need to flip a finger over the hole-in microphone. Supported by American and British versions of English, French, German and Japanese. Support for recognition of the language of the rising sun is implemented in the version of iOS 5.1, which in the next few hours will be available for download to compatible devices.
Updates and some are waiting for the Apple iOS. For example, music editor, GarageBand can now record and play music with a 4 iOS-devices simultaneously. And in the iMovie video editor will be able to automatically create your trailer video films - it is able to iMovie for computers, "Poppy". In addition, for the first time "aypadah" will have long known about "maqam" program for cataloging and processing photos iPhoto. What can I say - is long overdue. Moreover, the application will support the editing, including using a virtual "hands" image resolution of up to 19 megabytes. It looks like the popular photo editors iPad-Filterstorm Photoforge and a serious competitor. There is also a function for, say, beginning photographers - iPhoto for iPad (will be available today on the App Store for $ 4.99) is able to automatically detect the horizon and if necessary, rotate the photo so the horizon was not "overwhelmed."
All new iPad-application to Apple, including the office suite iWork, support ultra-high resolution display of a new tablet version. The device in a presentation called a "new iPad" - apparently Apple decided to do without the extra numbers or lettering in the title. In the end, the company upgraded laptops perfectly without needing rooms, and from generation to generation, being called MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.
Price gadget, contrary to expectations, does not change - $ 499 for the cheapest model with 16 gigabytes of internal memory and no 4G-module and $ 829 for the most expensive - with 64 GB of memory and a communication module 4G. New on sale in the U.S. for March 16, so again, waiting for reports from the huge queues and crazy prices for the enterprising "shuttle" in the first week. In this case the iPad 2 to withdraw from the sale will not. The shops will be a 16-gigabyte version of the tablet at a price of $ 399 for the version without the 3G module and 549 for the 3G-version. A sort of "budget" in the world of tablet omission of Apple, however, is not as expensive as many would wish. But the producers tablet on Android or Windows 8 will now have to focus on the price tag is not in the 500 and 400 dollars, or offer customers something exclusive.
