It responds to the name of iPad 2 and is the second version of the Apple tablet. After talking a lot about their futuribles features techniques, analysts have decided to risk and give a new figure: the iPad 2 could be available from next April. The forecast comes from Brian Marshall, an analyst at Gleacher & Co, who has calculated the iPad update cycles. And it is that according to their criteria, they are very similar to the iPhone launches that have been made during the last three years. According to Marshall, the right time to launch the iPad 2 will be next April. Just five months to go.
If the forecasts are met, the new iPad could land much earlier than expected. In fact, the Apple company would have to face the competition of the Samsung Galaxy Tab or the other devices that will come out shortly. It should not be forgotten that today it has been known that Samsung has managed to sell up to 600,000 tablets worldwide, a figure that could soon become one million units sold before the end of 2010.
The fact is that during the last three years, Apple has launched its iPhone in the months of June and July. According to Marshall " April is the right time for the arrival of the new iPad 2 ", so following this forecast it is very likely that in March or April of next year 2011, the expected launch of the Apple tablet will take place.
To date, there are many who have speculated about the features that will incorporate the new tablet. For now, we know that the device will have a nine-inch screen and that it will be much lighter and thinner than the current one. In fact, the shell will be made of carbon fiber. But there is more. And it is that after knowing that the iPad 2 announcements are already recorded, it has also been known that the tablet will incorporate a five megapixel rear camera and a dual-core processor.
According to Marshall, however, the new iPad 2 will be the same as the first edition, although it will incorporate dual camera functionality. This means that users will be able to use the FaceTime application to make video calls. Everything will be seen. In any case, you will have to wait a few months until you receive the official technical data sheet from the Cupertino firm.
