"2 The iPad is already in production, more powerful but display the same"

WE. Apple has launched the production of the new iPad 2. It is not official yet, but it is something more than an indiscretion. To confirm it was indeed the Wall Street Journal. A well-informed source to judge the latest exploits of the owner, the Australian magnate Rupert Murdoch. The same, I mean, who launched the first magazine exclusively for iPad: "The Daily".

"Apple has begun to produce a new version of its tablet computer iPad - As it says on the WSJ site - with an integrated camera and a faster processor." The new iPad will also be thinner and lighter than the first model - ensures the U.S. daily - and will have at least one camera on the front for video-conferencing.

The price? Unchanged. With all due respect to those who expect something more, the screen resolution is rather similar to that of its predecessor, but will have more memory and a faster processor and graphics. Nothing, "Retinal Display", then a screen that is made up of pixels wide just 78 micrometers (326 per inch) that makes images look sharper.

That for the moment remain an exclusive iPhone 4. In about a month of abandonment for health reasons, Steve Jobs, the Cupertino giant does not seem to want to curb its run in the magical world of the tablets, called "tablet" - real computer smaller than a netbook and larger of a smartphone - closely followed by aggressive competitors like Samsung, Motorola and Acer.

But above all, the incessant growth of the smartphone operating system for tablet and Google, known as Android. According to Strategy Analytics, the mobile platform in Mountain View, it would in fact have reached 22% of the market in tablet, compared with 75% held by IOS (the operating system of Apple iPhone and iPad behind), until a few months is absolute ruler with 95%.

At the time of the counter-positions Apple to keep moving up two joint plans. On the one hand, the recent enlargement to the telephone operator Verizon Wireless to sell its products (so far exclusive to AT & T), and secondly the recovery of the full range: between June and July 2011 the much awaited iPhone which is rumored to 5 for months, and before him, the arrival of two dell'iPad expected - according to the U.S.

financial newspaper - the end of April. Other rumors speak of a network gathered on arrival in Italy of the new version of the tablet at the end of June. Moreover last year the iPad arrived on the U.S. market in early April to land us in late June. Also, the Wall Street Journal, finally, outlines the prospects of the market for tablet in the next two years, crossing some recent research.

The prediction of IHS members iSuppli, speaking for example of a settlement in 2013, on lower sales for Jobs & Co, leading to a more ecumenical Apple 50% of the market. Maybe. For now, though, dell'iPad the launch, Apple has sold its 14.8 million units worldwide. The tablet has contributed $ 4.6 billion to the budget of the company's Cupertino, representing 17% of the total turnover of the company.

And for 2011, according to investment bank Piper Jaffray & Co., Apple could sell something like 27 million iPad.
