The new Apple iPad emits more heat says test

The new Apple iPad is damn hot – well we are not talking about the sex appeal of the latest Apple gadeget, but take the literal meaning of ‘hot’. A test conducted on the iPad 3 has revealed that it reaches temperature of 47 degrees when it is used for around three quarters of an hour.

It was noted when an action game was played on the device and the temperatures reached 47 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature recorded with the iPad 2 was 36 degree Celsius. It is almost a conclusion now that the iPad 3 is not comfortable when it comes to longer duration usage.

The findings were courtesy the tests conducted by Consumer Reports. The game with which the amount of heat of the gadget was counted was Infinity Blade II.

Apple has however claimed that the recently launched iPad was within the range of the thermal specifications – the range of which has been specified between 0 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius. Consumer Reports looked into the matter when they read various comments about the extreme heat the gadget has been emanating.

Apple iPad prices likely to cross the $700 mark

It is being strongly anticipated that the latest iPads from Apple is likely to cross the $700 as the price tag. The rise is as high as 19%. As the market share of the iPad is enumerated, there could be bright chances that the prices could rise in the coming days.

Some of the analysts are looking forward to the price of the iPad to be in the region of $710. However, the average price was around $100 short and rested at $605. Apple iPads have always dominated the market share and that is why most of the competitors have got weaker overtime.

One such prominent example is that of the Hewlett-Packard Co. HP tried to give a futile fight to Apple with their own tablets, PCs and Smartphones. However, it saw very little success to their credit. Actually the company’s shares have gone down by as much as 41% in the last year.

The latest product from the house of the tech giant will come with a sharper and brighter display, an enhanced processor, apart from superior networking capabilities.

The upgraded Apple iPads are scheduled to go on sales from Friday – March 16.

Customers pre-ordering the iPad need to wait longer

There are many customers who have pre-ordered the iPad with a view to avoiding the crowds when the iPad actually releases. The release day of the iPad is expected to pull more crowds. The latest edition of the tablet that was unveiled some days ago, will hit the market this coming Friday.

However, the tablets that have already been ordered online will have to wait for at least three days more. The tablets cannot be shipped until Monday – March 19. This has officially been reported on the web site of Apple. This is entirely opposite of what the company had promised to ship the tablet on the same day when it is launched.

There were reasons to make these sudden changes, however. According to the company statement, the stock set aside especially for the pre-order got exhausted quickly and forced the company helpless to ship the tablet on March 16 – the launch day.

Apple has been having a hard time contending the demands of the customers. This is the second instance in the year when Apple has failed to make the products available as promised. It was earlier in January this year, when Apple could not being selling the iPhone 4S on time in Beijing, China.
