It will also have a retina display screen and bow to peer-pressure to include a very welcome USB port.
So here are the five new features you can expect from the iPad 2.
1.Apple iPad 2 Video Phone – Apple iPad 2 adds the video phone, it means that it will has two cameras in the back and the front.
2.Apple iPad 2 Better Mobility – The iPad is really a light tablet, then the iPad 2 will have a lighter body. The screen will be reduced, and the display panel will be more thin.

This could spark off the 2011 tablet wars much like the current one between the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tablet.

XO-3 Tablet For Children
Nicholas Negroponte chairman of One Laptop Per Child relase XO-3 tablet for children.The XO-3 tablet debut at CES 2011.XO-3 tablet is developed by Marvell and based on the Moby platform….
The non-profit One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization will delay the release of its XO-3 slate-type computer for children by about 1.5 months from the initial schedule. Moreover, the initial XO-3 will be branded under Marvell trade-mark and is unlikely to be aimed at poor countries. The actual OLPC XO-3 is projected to become available later.Apparently, the reason behind the setback was OLPC’s demand for a rugged touch-screen that could be enough responsive and could not be broken easily.
The appropriate materials have been found, it appears, but the device will only show up in February, 2011, approximately 45 days later than originally planned. Moreover, the initial batches of the XO-3 tablet will be distributed under Marvell brand-name, as the company helped to develop the product. Given that Marvell is a company in search for profits, it is unlikely that it would sell the slates to developing nations at the price of manufacturing.
The XO-3 tablet is based on the Moby platform that was developed by Marvell. The tablet will come with a 1+ GHz ARMADA 610 ARM processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPS, 3D graphics, 1080p HD encoding and decoding capabilities and have Adobe Flash player.
XO-3 slate was scheduled to arrive in 2012 and was promised to be flexible. But around middle-2010 the organization changed its mind and decided to release non-flexible XO-3 tablet in late-2010 or very early-2011. Mr. Negroponte promised that eventually the cost of OLPC’s slate would drop to $75, but given the fact that the organization is allowing Marvell to sell the product initially, it may be assumed that the price-targets were not exactly met.Haleron H97 Windows 7 Tablet

Multitasking Comes To The iPad As iOS 4.2 Is Rolled Out
The long awaited iOS update for the Apple’s mobile platform has finally been made available to all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users, who have anxiously been waiting for this particular iOS update. More specifically, this update caters primarily the iPad users, who have been promised some serious features in this update, features that are bound to make the iPad experience more impressive. Let us see what iOS 4.2 has to offer.
This update, as mentioned earlier, will generally be more appealing to iPad owners, due to the fact that the iOS 4.2 brings more than 100 promised features from the previous three versions of the iOS combined to the iPad. More specifically, this update brings multitasking to the iPad, which will now allow users to use several applications on the iPad simultaneously and will also allow seamless and instant switching between these very applications without having any significant effect on the battery life of the iPad. Consumers will surely rejoice now, as multitasking is most definitely the need of the hour.
Apart from multitasking, another sought after feature lands on the iPad, which is the gaming social network, Game Center. Unified inbox and app folders also make their way on the iPad. Other highlighted features are AirPrint and AirPlay. It was sort of a downside of the iPad as printing content wirelessly wasn’t supported. Apple solved that issue with AirPrint, which will now allow all iPad users, to effortlessly print any content that they want to, with AirPrint enabled printers such as the HP Photosmart, HP LaserJet Pro and HP Officejet. Another good feature is AirPlay, which gives the iPad the ability to seamlessly stream music, photos and video to Apple TV, it sure is something that many people would love.
Apple’s iOS has been a phenomenal success, with numbers claiming that the iOS has 125 million users worldwide and that these users have access to 40,000 purpose built apps for the iPad. iOS 4.2 will definitely be appreciated by the large number of people, that use the iPad.

LG Officially Unveils Its Windows 7 Tablet In Korea
Its seems that things in the tablet market are definitely cooking up! The tablet boom started back when Apple rolled out the iPad, which was instantly loved worldwide. Now we see new products from companies like HP, Samsung, Viewsonic and even BlackBerry entering the market each day in a bid to wipe out all competitors and take the top spot. So why not LG ? LG has unveiled its very own tablet, called the E-Note H1000B, in Korea today.
Features and specifications are certainly the most researched things by any prospective tablet customer. So what does the E-Note H1000B has to offer? On top, there is a 10.1 inch capacitive touchscreen, its being powered by an Intel Atom Z510 or Z530 processor with which there is 1 GB of Ram. Storage capacity is a 16 GB SSD storage. Other added features include two USB 2.0 slots, an SD card reader, Bluetooth and most importantly, Wi-Fi.
However, The E-Note H1000B does disappoint in a number of ways. First and foremost, it does not have a camera. Something which is most definitely the defining feature of all of the tablets that have been rolled out since the iPad. Recent tablet devices from Viewsonic, Blackberry and Samsung all have cameras, so the LG E-Note H1000B loses some serious points for that. Next, it comes with an irritatingly limited and commonly avoided Windows 7 Starter Edition, which does not even allow the user to customise the wallpaper. As said previously, its irritating.
So it boils down to the fact that these features are not exactly appealing and wouldn’t be able to make the product clash directly with its competitors. Another turn off of the tablet is the fact that it is priced at $850. However, it is also being said that LG is planning to roll out an Anroid tablet in the near future, which just might prove to be a genuine contender in the market rather the E-Note H1000B.

Apple iPad To Get Exclusive Newspaper The Daily, Later This Month
Apple’s iPad is all the hype these days. Previously, we had informed you that the iPad was going to be available soon in Scandinavia and we also told you that The Washington Post had landed on the iPad. Now, we’ve got some more news. Speculations were raised quite some time back, when it was presumed that News Corp. was planning on creating an exclusive newspaper for the iPad. Well ladies and gentlemen, it is!
Guardian claims that the project which is to be called, The Daily, will be revealed later this month. What’s specific about this project is the fact that it will exclusively be an iPad-only newspaper, meaning that it would not available in web or print versions. It is also being said that The Daily will make its way to other tablets in the near future as well, but initially it is only focussing on the iPad, which has already been sold at exponential numbers, so it can safely be assumed that The Daily just might become popular on the iPad.
News Corp. is said to be taking this project quite seriously, with the whole 26th floor of the News Corp. offices while there would be a dedicated team of 100-150 journalists that will work solely to produce daily content for the newspaper. It is being said the managing editor of the New York Post will be taking the top job of the editor for The Daily. Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. leader seems to be taking quite an interest in this project because of the reason which is his belief that consumers are willing to pay for high- quality, original content, which is definitely something he looks forward to providing consumers in The Daily.
It has also been reported that the Apple team is looking after the technical aspects of this project as The Daily is all set to be rolled out by the end of this month. This newspaper will work as a downloadable application that would require a fee of 99 cents to use for one week, which means that at about $4 dollars a month, the iPad user is covered with full access to the newspaper every single day of the month.
