iPad 3: Everything you need to know.

The iPad 3 rumors started, as soon as the iPad 2 was released, and now, here's a summary of everything we know on the iPad 3. In this article, you will find:

iPad 3 Key Features

iPad 3, might feature the 5 new features, as described below. These features are the most wanted, and most likely features to be included on the iPad 3.

1. Retina Display

The iPad 3, is believed to have a 2048x1536 with 264 ppi (pixels per inch), twice the amount on the iPad 2. The pixel density won't be as great as on the iPhone 4/4S, but it will still be very high, and pictures, webpages, apps and email will look amazing

Doesn't it bug you when you run an iPhone app of the iPad, and when you make it twice as big, it becomes really pixelated, but with the iPad 3, the quality of iPhone apps may improve significantly.

2. A6 Chip

The iPad 3 will feature the A6 processor, which will have the following specifications:

-1+ GHz (around 1.2 GHz)

-Quad-core system-on-a-chip

-1024 MB RAM]

3. Better Camera + New Features

Since Most tablets have better cameras than the iPad 2, and as we noted in our post "The ultimate tablet face off" (April 2011), that the iPad 2 camera isn't that good. it's true. It's usable, but still, there's room for lots of improvement. We think the iPad 3 may come with a 5 MP camera, like the one in the Blackberry Playbook, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and Apple's iPhone 4.

The iPad 2 shoots pretty nice 720p video. It looks great on YouTube, on the device, on computers, and Smaller devices, like phones. However, for the big screen, Your TV, or the projector in the conference room, stunning 1080p, with video stabilization as seen on the iPhone 4S would be perfect.

We're also expecting improvements in FaceTime. The front of the iPad is supposed to get a FaceTime HD camera, and we think that FaceTime may include multi-way video chat, like Hangouts on Google+

Photo Booth might get an update, and have the background feature (and user background) like on the Mac. There may also be more effects to choose from, and the ability to record video (also like on the Mac).

4. 4G LTE

This was one of the most wanted features on the iPhone 5 (now iPhone 4S). Now that the networks are ready, Apple just might include 4G in their next iPad*

*If they do include 4G, it may not be available in all areas, and may be pricey 

5. Dictation

Siri, was one of key features on the iPhone 4S, and there is a slight chance we may see it on the iPad 3. However, it's more fun to set the reminder yourself instead of having the beta software try to understand what you mean. It's still in beta, and it's not close to perfect. What would be really nice if Apple took the dictation feature (microphone icon on keyboard) so you could type with your voice.

A feature that most people want on the iPad 3 is a flash for the camera. We don't think that's going to be a new feature, because Apple points out that a flash is not required:

Well we don't know for sure.

iPad 3 Release Date:

-In the February to April time span

-Most Likely on Steve Jobs's Birthday (according to most sources), in memory of him.

      Steve Jobs's Birthday was February 24th

So most likely on February 24th, 2011

iPad 3 Prices:

We think the prices will be the same, however if there is a 4G model it may be more expensive. The Retina Display is pretty expensive, so the iPad 3 may be more expensive (we think more expensive by $0-$300 depending on the model)
