Hands-On With iPad 3 Chassis [VIDEO]
With the much-anticipated iPad 3 set to make its debut in only three days — March 7th, at a special media event in San Francisco — the rumor mill is working overtime. One of the latest, seemingly credible rumors to crop up is one that reveals a good deal of information about the device if it is true; tech blog M.I.C. Gadget claims to have gotten their hands on the front glass, rear shell, and case of the iPad 3, on top of some other nuggets of information from their sources.
First and foremost, they noted that the front panel of the iPad 3 that they have does possess a home button. When Apple sent out invites to the press event in San Francisco, there was a huge outpouring of speculation as, people believed that the iPad 3 didn’t have a home button due to how it was photographed. Whether or not M.I.C. Gadget’s information is accurate, however, I think it’s fair to say that the iPad photographed in the invitation was just in the landscape orientation.
As far as aesthetics are concerned, it would appear that the iPad 3 is slightly thicker than the the iPad 2; to help alleviate this, the edges are more tapered than they are on the iPad 2. This should make the device feel thinner when held. And, while iPad 2 cases can barely fit the iPad 3, current-generation smart covers seem to work just fine. They have a fairly extensive photo gallery on their blog in addition to the hands-on video, in which they compare the alleged iPad 3 hardware with that of the iPad 2.
Finally, let’s go over the nuggets of information that they received from their sources:
The iPad 3 will be available in its current assortment of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities. Credible Apple blog 9to5Mac has received similar information.
As is the case with the device capacities, the price points for each flavor of the device will remain the same as well.
They speculate — and their sources agree — that LTE will not be built into the iPad 3. They note that there is a limited market for LTE as of right now, and the addition of an LTE chipset would increase the cost of the device, which is something that doesn’t happen with the implementation of a Qualcomm 3G chip. They do, however feel that LTE is something to expect from the next iteration of the iPad, after the iPad 3.
As with all rumors, remember to take this with a grain of salt. Besides, we are only days away from the official unveiling of the device; we’ll know the facts about the device very soon!

According to a new report from the guys at 9to5Mac which confirms that iPad 3 launch date has been confirmed on March 7th next week which is going to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10am PST.

Also interesting is Apple’s choice of timing, announcing iPad 3 event right in the middle of Eric Schmidt’s keynote talk at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

A match made in iCloud.
With iTunes Match, even songs you’ve imported from CDs can be stored in iCloud. And you can play them on any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC — whenever you want and wherever you are, without syncing. iTunes Match is just $24.99 a year.2
Here’s how it works: iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 20 million songs in the iTunes Store, chances are, your music is already in iCloud. And for the few songs that aren’t, iTunes has to upload only what it can’t match. Which is much faster than starting from scratch. Once your music is in iCloud, you can stream and store it to any of your devices. Even better, all the music iTunes matches plays back from iCloud at 256-Kbps AAC DRM-free quality — even if your original copy was of lower quality. Learn More
How iTunes Match works.
iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 20 million songs in the iTunes Store, chances are your music is already in iCloud. And for the few songs that aren’t, iTunes uploads what it can’t match (which is much faster than uploading your entire music library). Even better, all the music iTunes matches plays back from iCloud at 256-Kbps AAC DRM-free quality — even if your original copy was of lower quality.
Once your music is in iCloud, you can stream it to any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud. To listen to a song, tap the iCloud icon next to it and your song starts playing. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you want to play is stored on your device. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without taking up storage space.
