Apple could not immediately be reached for comment, and is known not to comment on rumors. But Bloomberg is citing people familiar with the product -- and they are offering details on the look and feel of the next generation iPad.
Specifically, Bloomberg reports that the iPad 3 will offer a high-definition screen, and have a faster processor, a larger battery, and work with the LTE, or 4G, networks. The tablet reportedly uses a quad-core chip, which sets the stage for users to jump between applications more quickly.
The LTE Factor
"There have been so many iPad 3 rumors, but it's logical to assume these types of upgrades," said Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst at ZK Research. "The iPad 2 had a faster processor so the question is what can Apple really add to the iPad 3 to give it another leap forward? I think LTE has to be a part of it. LTE would allow a different set of applications by enabling network speeds that are comparable with local storage."
As Kerravala sees it, LTE would facilitate Apple's iCloud service. iCloud is a set of free cloud services, including iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream and Documents in the Cloud, that works with the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC to automatically and wirelessly store content in iCloud and push it to a consumer's devices. When content changes on one device, all of a consumer's other devices are updated automatically and wirelessly.
"Apple is trying to make iCloud the place people go to store all their applications and content," Kerravala said. "So to me LTE makes a whole... newsfactor.com » |  Компания Apple ведет переговоры с голливудскими студиями относительно предложения системы, которая позволит покупать фильмы через iTunes и делать их доступными на различных Apple-устройствах без необходимости передачи или сохранения файла. Размещение фильмов на сервисе iCloud стало бы серьезным конкурентным преимуществом для сервиса компании, запущенного в эту среду.
Бесплатная версия iCloud, поддерживаемая на устройствах iPad и iPhone, в данный момент позволяет размещать книги, музыку и программы, приобретенные через iTunes и автоматически синхронизировать их между различными устройствами Apple без необходимости физического соединения. Видеозаписи it.siteua.org » |  SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc rolled out its new iCloud service and latest mobile software to a chorus of user complaints this week, after glitches led to email access problems and long delays in installation.
Reuters: Internet News » | As the controversy around Netflix swirls, Apple may be one of the competitors looking to take advantage of the open door. Apple is getting ready to put movies in the cloud, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
The Times reports that Apple reps have been talking with Hollywood studios to ink deals that would pave the way for consumers to buy movies through iTunes and access them on any Apple device. The Times cited anonymous sources. The service could launch in late 2011 or early 2012.
The rumor comes at the intersection of two announcements this week: Apple's iCloud is live and the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem's UltraViolet service has launched. The DECE is a consortium of Hollywood players that have created an online personal library that gives consumers access to movies and TV shows they purchase.
Streaming Content Everywhere
UltraViolet and iCloud are fairly similar. Once a movie or TV show has been added to a consumer's UltraViolet library, consumers have options to stream it over the Internet, download it for offline viewing, or play it back on a disc. Consumers can watch the content on a mobile device, computer, television, gaming console or other enabled device.
By way of comparison, Apple's iCloud lets consumers automatically download new music purchases to all their devices. Consumers can buy a song on the iPad and find it waiting for them on the iPhone with no syncing required. iTunes in iCloud also lets consumers download previously purchased iTunes content, including music and TV shows, at no additional cost. Movies would add a new element to the iCloud mix.
The movie studios seem to have plenty of motivation to cooperate with Apple. Although digital distribution is booming, online movie purchases are at the lower end of the profitability totem pole.

hi-tech.tochka.net » 2011-08-31 21:41 hi-tech.tochka.net / Новости / | Music lovers who have been anticipating Apple's cloud music service will have to wait a little while yet -- though perhaps not too much longer.
Apple's iTunes Match, which was first announced at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference in June, is almost here. Apple has launched the iTunes Match developer beta, bringing the music-listening world one step closer to streaming their playlists on Apple devices of their choice.
In an email to U.S.-based developers posted by MacRumors, Apple warned users to keep a local backup of their iTunes library and any music added to iCloud.
"Apple will periodically reset your iCloud library during the beta and it is critical that you backup your music regularly," the email said. "Some features and optimizations of iTunes Match will not be available during the beta."
Reviewing the Specs
iTunes Match works with iTunes in the cloud. With iCloud, the music consumers purchase in iTunes appears automatically on all their Apple devices. iTunes Match aims at consumers who have music that wasn't purchased on iTunes.
ITunes Match lets you store your entire music collection, including music you have ripped from CDs or purchased from Apple competitors (like Amazon). The cost? About $25 a year. For that price, you can transfer 25,000 songs.
As Apple describes it, iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to your iCloud library for you to listen to anytime, on any device.
Upgrading Old Collections
Since there are more than 18 million songs in the iTunes Store, Apple figures most of your music is probably already in iCloud. All you have to upload is what iTunes can't match. That's makes for a much faster process than uploading everything from scratch. All the music iTunes matches plays back at 256-Kbps iTunes Plus... newsfactor.com » | Sept. 7 may be the day the world gets a look at the next member of the iPhone family, and the latest reports suggest the smartphone will take advantage of Apple's iCloud to keep its cost low. By enabling storage of songs, apps, photos and videos on iCloud's servers, the trimmed-down iPhone would require less flash storage. That could mean the device might even be offered free, with a two-year carrier contract from either Verizon Wireless or AT&T.
Japanese Sources
The latest report comes from a Japanese site, Kodawarisan, which cited sources who named Sept. 7 for an event to not only lift the veil on a new line of iPods (in line with Apple's usual timetable), but also to launch a new iPhone and possibly open the iCloud service to the public. The newest iPhone, which usually arrives in June, was delayed for unstated reasons, likely because Apple released a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 in February and may face component limits.
The Apple fan site Apple 'n Apps reported Thursday, "it has come to our attention that Apple is planning to combine iOS 5 and iCloud with a piece of hardware internally referred to as the iCloud iPhone. The iCloud iPhone will rely heavily on Apple's new cloud-based offering, and less on internal storage."
Kirk Parsons, a wireless analyst for J.D. Power and Associates, said he hasn't heard much about a cloud iPhone, but noted there have been persistent reports for some time of a low-cost iPhone that runs the latest iOS. Currently, the cheapest iPhone is the 2009-released 3GS, which AT&T sells for $49.
"If Apple is worried about gaining share, then a cheaper iPhone version would increase sales/share at the lower end of the market," Parsons said.
On the verge of being the most valuable company in the world -- as... newsfactor.com » | TORONTO (Reuters) - Mobile developers more than ever want to devote their energies to writing apps for Apple's iOS and Google's Android platforms at the expense of their less popular rivals, a study released on Wednesday showed.
Reuters: Internet News » | NewsFactor - The iCloud is live. The web site for Apple's new online storage and sync service has been opened to a limited number of developers, and the company has announced pricing for the service. Yahoo! News: Internet News » | The iCloud is live. The web site for Apple's new online storage and sync service has been opened to a limited number of developers, and the company has announced pricing for the service.
Among other features, iCloud allows users to sync content between Apple devices, such as a Mac, iPhone or iPad, and another Apple device -- or a PC running Windows. There's automatic backups, a calendar, an address book, web e-mail, and functionalities to support iWork, Apple's productivity suite.
Control Panel for Windows
iCloud gives a hint of things to come, with screenshots of how online versions of Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote will look. At least for the near term, iCloud users will need to launch those apps locally, and then switch to online versions.
An iCloud Control Panel for Windows, now in beta, allows users of that platform to set up their iCloud configuration.
The first 5GB of storage is free, and the service will be available to Mac OS X and iOS 5 users. After that, 10GB is available for $20 annually. For $40, users get 20GB, and 50GB is $100. But the storage limits don't apply to photos and iTunes-purchased music, apps or books.
A Find My iPhone service will allow a smartphone owner to see its location, which could be a helpful for users who have trouble keeping track of their growing arsenal of mobile devices. Additionally, it allows users to remotely display images or play a sound on the iPhone that could give fair warning or a jarring jolt to a thief. When all else fails, a user or an IT department can use Find My iPhone to wipe the contents on the lost smartphone.
'Absolutely Brilliant'
The public version of iCloud is expected to be launched in September, accompanying the release of iOS 5.

A software update available on Monday integrates the device with Apple's iCloud so the Apple TV can access content directly. Previously, Home Sharing or an Air Play connection was required. Yahoo! News: Internet News » | Mashable - Apple has quietly enhanced iCloud support for the iTunes Store, allowing users to re-download past television purchases and access them from iTunes, on Apple TV and within iOS devices.
In June, Apple rolled out iTunes and iCloud integration, which gave users the ability to download their music purchases onto other devices and to automatically sync new purchases across all devices. Yahoo! News: Internet News » | MobileMe will become part of Apple's new iCloud service, and on Friday the company provided some additional details about the transition. For currently active MobileMe subscribers, the service has been extended to June 30, 2012 -- at which point it will cease to exist.
Key MobileMe services will move to iCloud, which will be free for iOS 5 and Mac OS X users. The transitioning services include Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Bookmarks, Find My iPhone, Back To My Mac, iWeb publishing, Gallery and iDisk. Active MobileMe users will also be able to move their me.com or mac.com e-mail addresses to iCloud.
New iCloud Services
New services available in iCloud include iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream, Documents in the Cloud, automatic downloads, purchase histories for apps and books, and backup and restore.
But some sync services will not continue, including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, dock items, and System Preferences, although they will be available to MobileMe users until the move to iCloud.
Users will also be able to continue publishing web sites to MobileMe until the service is discontinued in 2012. Apple is encouraging users to move their web sites to another hosting service. Other files, such as photos, can continue to be stored in MobileMe, and MobileMe iDisk will also be available until the very end.
Earlier this month at its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced the iCloud service, enabling device owners to get and store their content via Apple's servers through an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC.
Although the focus is on music, iCloud can offer access to any kind of content -- photos, videos, documents -- and changes to that content, which lives on the network, will be reflected across all accessing devices. In its announcement, Apple said iCloud would replace MobileMe.
'A Plausible Scenario'
Apps and e-books purchased in Apple's... newsfactor.com » |  По мнению канадских аналитиков из RBC Capital, компания Apple может рассчитывать примерно на 150 млн пользователей из числа владельцев iPhone для своего нового сервиса облачного хранения данных iCloud. В прогнозе аналитиков, опубликованном сегодня, RBC сообщает, что опросили с 7 по 14 июня 1500 iPhone-пользователей и пришли к выводу, что 76% из них готовы или собираются использовать сервис iCloud.
Напомним, что iCloud был презентован Стивом Джобсом на последней конференции WWDC 2011 в начале июня. iCloud позволит владельцам iOS-устройств и компьютеров Mac/PC синхронизировать и получать доступ к информации, например к музыкальным файлам, контакт-листам и документам.
