What to expect from Apple’s iPad 3

When Apple pulled the curtain on the iPad 2 to indicate a stronger, more agile, but not so different from the replacement of the original tablet, rumors immediately began spinning on what the company can plan for the next slate. Now as we approach the first anniversary of the launch of two IPAD, the outlook for 3 iPad inevitably become more evident. Several reliable sources to explain what the new star of Apple as, and if even half of them have proven legitimate, this is a real pleasure. Join us as he ran through the list before iPhone 3 features and trying to hash out what's real and what is left for future releases.

Dazzling display

Before iPad 2 officially paraded for the first time, many industry insiders have promised that we would completely new, high resolution touch-screen equivalent of the iPhone 4 (and now 4S) Retina screen. But when the dust has settled, the screen remains the same as the original device. The iPad is now 1024 x 768 pixel multi-touch interface is still pleasing to the eye, but to actually sell the adult and the current owner of Adults 2 in a new Apple tablet is likely to statistics for the next level .

Not surprisingly, many sources claim that the views and even a new tablet will take a sharper screen resolution and higher on the road. Bloomberg confidence knowing even claimed that the pixel density is sufficient to make the screen look like printed paper.

Specific information on what the final resolution will remain a mystery, but the backward compatibility of the largest developers of applications without too much frustration, Apple simply can double its current size up to 2048 x 1536. This will provide a new tablet ability to play content from Netflix and Hulu with a higher resolution than the tablets of the competition, clearly bring more amazing looks with new applications and games.

Able to assign

IPAD 2 is a great step forward from the original in terms of graphics power and performance. Apple A5 processor, which allows applications and games more beautiful and faster response when you touch the screen. The same chip finally found its way into the iPhone 4S, which helps support new features such as Siri Virtual Assistant. However, if we do not believe that the iPad 3 shows an increase in the resolution of the screen - and can also support Apple's new features, such as Siri was born - the company certainly want more power.

Usually reliable industry sources technology Boy Genius Report website provides images and specifications without notice tablets to demonstrate a new chip - Apple A6 - will debut on 3 iPad. A6 was reported to have features quad-core technology, which is a big step from the A5 dual-core chips are used today. Including larger amounts of memory, which allow the iPad 3 provides an answer to the high resolution screen and is consistent with the usual round of Apple's chip development.

3G or 4G?

Apple has made clear it would not be willing to support LTE 4G technology to full confidence in the ability of technology to enhance the experience. 4S 4G iPhone is not compatible with the full because most people know this, but three iPad can break that barrier for the first time.

Litany of sources - including people who claimed to be in Japan, which are given in support of 4G to a new list, and partners Apple and AT & T and Verizon million of spending to bolster their 4G networks, it seems likely that 3 iPad advantage. This faster network connection is also important for the transmission of higher resolution video and mobile content without having to wait for buffering annoying it can interfere with the 3G tablet.

New look sexy

Of all the rumors circulating about 3 iPad, one of the least likely to change the overall look of the device. Apple cut a good amount of original iPad tablet two designs, and elegant, it seems almost certain to remain the same for the next generation.

Apple mobile devices typically receive at least a big improvement, but still in the same form factor - iPhone 3G with 3G and 4 in the 4S perfect example. IPad 3 is likely to fall in line with the updated schedule and more emphasis on the features and capabilities in design changes, although anything is possible.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Federal prosecutors in Manhattan broadened their insider trading crackdown Thursday, arresting four people on charges alleging that so-called "expert consultants" revealed secrets about Apple Inc.'s iPhone and other technology products to hedge funds seeking a trading edge on quarterly earnings reports.

The latest probe targeted Primary Global Research, a Mountain View, Calif.-based firm that offered consulting services to investors on industry trends, issues and regulations. Instead, prosecutors allege, firm executive James Fleishman used four consultants employed by publicly traded companies to create a corrupt clearinghouse for confidential information.

Fleishman, 41, was charged with wire fraud and conspiracy. Three others, all outside "expert consultants" for Primary Global Research until earlier this year, were charged with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, according to papers filed in federal court in Manhattan.

Fleishman helped arrange for Primary Global Research clients, including hedge funds, to speak with the consultants, the papers said. The clients were told about highly confidential Apple sales forecasts information, new product features for the iPhone and a top-secret project known internally at Apple as "K48," which became the iPad, launched this year, the complaint said.

The charges allege that a "corrupt network of insiders at some of the world's leading technology companies served as so-called 'consultants' who sold out their employers by stealing and then peddling their valuable inside information," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.

He said the allegations describe criminal conduct that went "well beyond any legitimate information-sharing or good faith business practice."

Primary Global Research paid four consultants more than $400,000 merely to participate in phone calls with their clients, "an indication of the value placed on the information," said FBI Assistant Director Janice K. Fedarcyk.

"This wasn't market research. What the defendants did was purchase and sell insider information," Fedarcyk said, adding: "Our investigation is most assuredly continuing."

The three consultants charged were Mark Anthony Longoria, 44, of Round Rock, Texas; Walter Shimoon, 39, of San Diego; and Manosha Karunatilaka, 37, of Marlborough, Mass.

The prosecution is an offshoot of a probe of Galleon Funds founder Raj Rajaratnam and 22 others in which prosecutors made extensive use of wiretaps, which are more common in drug and organized crime investigations. Rajaratnam has pleaded not guilty and said he only traded with information available to the public.

On wiretaps used to build evidence against those arrested Thursday, Fleishman and Longoria could be heard speaking about the Galleon probe, with Fleishman assuring Longoria that Galleon was not a client, according to court papers.

The complaint said Longoria responded: "OK. Good. I wasn't sure. I was, like, really getting nervous."

Richard Choo-Beng Lee, a former hedge fund co-manager who has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with the government, made some of the recordings, the complaint said.

Investigators have learned from Lee that his hedge fund's "practice was to have its employees call a firm consultant before the consultant's employer was expected to release its quarterly earnings, in part to obtain inside information," the complaint said.

Longoria worked at Advanced Micro Devices Inc. as a supply chain manager, Shimoon worked at Flextronics International Limited as senior director of business development and Karunatilaka worked as an account manager at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. office in Burlington, Mass.

The complaint said Shimoon illegally provided information about sales forecasts and new product features for Apple's iPhone that had been given to employees of Flextronics, which worked with Apple on camera and charger components for the iPhone and iPod.

It said he also spoke of the iPad project, saying on secretly recorded conversations with a government cooperating witness: "At Apple you can get fired for saying K48 ... outside of a meeting that doesn't have K48 people in it. That's how crazy they are about it."

The complaint said Shimoon was also captured on wiretaps promising to get secrets about sales at Research In Motion Ltd., which makes Blackberrys.

Shimoon has been terminated and Flextronics has clear policies prohibiting the release of confidential information about the company and its business partners, Flextronics said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear who would represent Shimoon at an initial court appearance.

For Karunatilaka, bail was set at $250,000 after an initial appearance in federal court in Boston. He was expected to be released Thursday. His lawyer, Brad Bailey, said he was reviewing the allegations against his client and would decide how to proceed. He said it was likely Karunatilaka would appear in Manhattan court sometime in January.

Longoria appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew W. Austin, Texas, who ordered him released on $50,000 unsecured bond and told him to surrender his expired passport.

When asked if he was a flight risk, a tearful Longoria said no.

"I'm not trying to fight this. I'm here to help. I've been cooperating on this from the beginning," Longoria said.

Longoria resigned Oct. 22 from AMD, where he had worked since 2007, said Mike Silverman, a company spokesman.

"It appears that AMD is the victim of an insider trading scheme," Silverman said. He added that AMD was cooperating with investigators.

A lawyers for Fleishman did not return phone calls for comment.

A fourth consultant for Primary Global Research, former Dell global supply manager Daniel Devore, pleaded guilty Dec. 10 to wire fraud and conspiracy charges in a cooperation deal that could win him leniency at sentencing, prosecutors also announced. His lawyer, John Sutton, declined to comment Thursday.

In his plea, Devore told a judge that Primary Global Research paid him about $145,000 to share inside information with the firm's clients and employees.

"I knew that when I was misappropriating Dell's confidential information and providing it to money managers, I was violating my duties of confidentiality and trust to Dell," he said, according to a transcript.

David Best, a Dell spokesman, said the company would cooperate with authorities.
