iPad2, iPhone5 & Apple TV

There have now been more reports for apple's upcoming products. Well this is going to be one hell of a treat for us. And these include info on iPad2, iPhone5 and the second edition of the Apple TV.

There has been reports on Engadget that apple's new iPad 2 will only be out on around April.. Also it is said that the thing will get a new display screen, much similar to iPhone 4's retina display giving the iPad a super resolution display. Though not the same. But various reports till now have said that there won't be much difference in the display or resolution of the iPad. Also this product will be having front and rear camera's(As mentioned in the previous post). And an SD slot.

The reports say with near certainty that there will be an SD card slot. Well this is shocking as Apple usually do not allow SD cards and they were usually playing with flash memory. The new iPad will feature a dual GSM / CDMA chipset produced by Qualcomm and will mark Apple's shift away from Infineon as its chipset maker to Qualcomm for all of its mobile devices. The strength of the new dual-mode chipset might be that it will allow both Verizon and AT&T to offer the iPad simultaneously.

Also the reports reveal that the iPhone 5 will also be based on all of this and also it will be most probably a summer release. The new device will be a total rethink from a design standpoint and will be running atop Apple's new A5 CPU (a Cortex A9-based, multi-core chip). This device, like the iPad 2, will feature a Qualcomm chipset that does triple duty as the CDMA / GSM / UMTS baseband processor.

Also the A5 will make its way to the Apple TV which will make it blazingly fast and play 1080 pixel. Currently the Apple TV's capability is 720P.

Well most of these info's were expected excluding the SD card slot and shift from infineon to Qualcomm. Well stay tuned to get more updates.
