You’ve probably noticed by now that I love my iPad, and I use it for everything.? As each new generation arrives, I’ve passed along our old iPads to family members.? Those family members are usually college students who can hopefully use the iPad to help them with their school work and with taking notes in [...]

Among the expected changes to the next generation of iPad is an improved processor. Seeing as the original iPad had the A4 and the iPad 2 had the A5, it was logical to guess that the iPad 3 would have an A6. As it turns out, that’s not the case: a leaked picture of the iPad 3′s logic board (or what is claimed to be so) shows not A6, but A5X written on top of the chip. In a way it’s totally inconsequential; not only is the naming scheme brand new and potentially arbitrary, but we barely understand what’s happening under the hood in the A5. A5X or A6, what difference does it make? Well, here’s the thing.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) ? China Communist Party members can now carry a tablet PC to verify identification cards, read the blogs of cadres and manage state-owned firms without fretting that using a bourgeois Apple Inc iPad will ruin their street cred.
Enter RedPad Number One, an Android-based tablet computer filled with software applications (apps) catered to a party official’s every need for control. Delivered in a decadent leather case for 9,999 yuan ($1,600), it is twice the price of Apple’s most expensive iPad 2.
The eye-popping price has China’s microblogs alight with chatter over just why this device is so expensive and who is footing the bill.
“Is it the god of toys? Why don’t they throw in a free iPad with it,” said Looperrr on Weibo, Sina Corp’s, microblogging platform.
RedPad Number One spokesman Liu Xianri said in an interview with the Southern Daily on Wednesday that sales of the tablet were completely market driven.
“We are looking to compete against the foreign brands,” Liu said in response to a question on whether public funds may be used to buy the RedPad.
RedPad’s price was high, Liu said, because of the number of pre-installed apps that cater to bureaucrats and state-owned company managers.
For example, it has apps that allow users to check the validity of a journalist’s government accreditation as well as read state-run newspapers and microblogs.
But an online survey on Thursday showed that more than 2,000 netizens believed that the RedPad was meant to be a symbol of privilege, while another 1,500 thought its purpose is to fleece taxpayers.
“After reading all the articles about this, I am impressed,” said microblogger Xixizhiniu. “What an honor it is for you, the taxpayer, that you place a 9,999 yuan into the hands of the leaders!”

The iPad may not have been blasted off to space aboard a shuttle like its sibling the iPhone, but it has reached 100,000′ above sea level attached to a weather balloon. It also fell from that altitude after the balloon burst ? and survived its crash landing on a rocky hillside in Nevada. If you’re wondering how the iPad remained fully-functional, it’s because it was protected with a 6-ounce Extreme Edge case by G-Form, which is the company behind the project.
“It’s the first iPad that’s ever free-fallen from space and survived to play more movies,” says G-Form’s Vice President for innovations, Thom Cafaro. It’s worth noting, however, that outer space doesn’t technically begin until 328,084′ above sea level. Regardless, the iPad surviving a 100,000′ free fall is still more impressive than the company’s previous stunts. G-Form once sent an iPad skydiving from a height of 1,300′, and tossed another one out of a Porsche speeding at 113 mph.
G-Form is exhibiting its full line of products and unveiling its new iPhone case at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.

The tablet market is going to continue to grow and expand, but that growth will largely belong to Apple?s iPad, according to one mobile analysis firm.
Gartner issued a four-year analysis forecast of the tablet market today, expecting that while the tablet market will increase from 17.6 million total sales in 2010 to 326.3 million by 2015, most of those tablet sales will be iPads. In fact, Gartner expects about 146 million iPad sales in 2015.
It?s not exactly a new position that Gartner is taking ? the iPad dominates the market today, and is the front-runner that all other tablets are running to catch up with ? but the number of sales certainly is. Other analysts have noted that they expect tablets running Google?s Android platform to eventually overtake the iPad, as device makers start to differentiate, expand into lower- and higher-priced options, and generally find ways to compete that don?t involve aping Apple?s concepts. But Gartner sees Apple finding ways to remain at the front of the pack until midway through the next decade, at least.
Meanwhile, Android tablets ? that?s the entire field of Android tablets ? will account for about 116 million sales in 2015, Gartner predicts. Tablets powered by QNX, from BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, and Windows operating systems will account for 26 million and 34 million sales, respectively.
In the nearer term, Gartner doesn?t expect anybody in the market to bring anything out that will hold its own against the iPad. In 2012, Gartner predicts 66 million iPad sales and only about 26 million Android tablet sales. The firm also expects Apple to run away with sales this holiday season, which is a pretty fair bet as well.
But while Apple?s iPad is a juggernaut in the tablet sphere, Gartner?s prediction seems to discount another four years of Android device makers working hard to innovate and find a way to topple the iPad. Sure, the iPad had an 18-month lead on its competition and those competitors are still working on a way to really stand against the iPad ? but we?re talking about four years of development time here. And we?re also talking about one device versus an entire range of models from several manufacturers.
As GigaOM points out, Gartner also puts a lot of growth behind QNX, expecting 3 million sales of the tablet this year. But in the most recent quarter, RIM shipped only 200,000 of its PlayBook tablet, and only 700,000 or so in the quarter before that. And that?s shipments, not sales, which will likely be even lower.
Gartner?s predictions aren?t exactly crazy, but already Android tablets are getting better and better at mimicking the experience that Apple provides. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is adding more and more features and apps all the time (like Netflix), and when Android as a platform catches up a little more with Apple?s iOS, it?ll likely be a very valid competitor.
Given another four years of work, it seems hard to imagine that another company or companies won?t find their own magic tablet bullet, just as Apple has.
