ipad 3

Rumored three iPad model lineup could cut entry price to $299

The rumored expansion of iPad models this year may reduce the price of entry for owning an Apple tablet, if a new report is to be believed.
Despite having its report on Apple planning to triple its iPad lineup this year firmly rebuffed by many onlookers, Taiwan-based tech site DigiTimes today reiterated that assessment, also claiming that the change could bring big price cuts at the low end.
In a research report issued earlier today, the site once again asserted that Apple plans to expand its lineup of iPads by adding models that serve the "high-end segment" and "the midrange," while continuing to offer the iPad 2.
"With the existing iPad 2, the Apple tablet series may cover all price segments--from entry-level to high-end. Apple's pricing strategy for its iPad series is crucial to the tablet market. It remains to be seen at what price level Apple will set its entry-level iPad. For Wi-Fi-only models, U.S. $299, U.S. $349 or U.S. $399 may all be possible," the outlet said.
A $299 iPad has been available before, but there were caveats galore. It was Apple's first-generation device, and it only sold at fire sale prices through third-party carrier stores following the introduction of Apple's second-generation model.
Since then, competitors have emerged, including Amazon.com and its Kindle Fire, which made waves near the end of last year, selling for $199. While not sporting as big of a display, and missing a handful of hardware features found on the iPad, it sells for less than half the price of Apple's current entry-level iPad, with reports pegging sales at 1 million units a week during December.
Apple has maintained the same pricing structure since the introduction of the iPad in 2010, offering Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G models of the tablet at different pricing tiers for its 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models. The entry-level 16GB model with Wi-Fi starts at $499, with each additional tier of storage, plus optional 3G networking, tacking on costs scaling up to $829.
One important consideration is the cost of producing the iPad. A teardown of the iPad 2 by IHS-owned iSupply last year estimated the total cost of Apple's two 32GB models to start at $326.60, with manufacturing costs pushing that total north of $333. iSuppli lists the LCD screen as the most expensive part of the tablet, at $127. Costs could have certainly come down between then and now, but Apple is expected to be utilizing panels with considerably higher pixel density in the next iPad, something that does not come cheap.
Apple has been known to make considerable price cuts on its products, though such moves have been few and far between. The shortlist includes the $200 price cut on the original iPhone, a move that came a little more than two months after its introduction and infuriated early buyers, leading to Apple offering iTunes gift cards as an apology. There was also the $500 price cut on the solid-state version of its first-generation MacBook Air.
The suggested iPad price cut comes alongside price reductions on two high-profile tablets in recent days, with Sony knocking $100 off the price of its S series tablet over the weekend, and Research In Motion dropping the price of its entire line of PlayBook tablets to $299, down from its $499 starting point.

BlackBerry Shadow

BlackBerry Shadow Concept Runs WebOS on Top of Dual Core ARM15 CPU

We all know that Research in Motion and its BlackBerry models are in deep, deep trouble, so salvation could come from either getting bought by Microsoft or buying a dying platform such as webOS. The latter was imagined by Bob Freking, who envisions a BlackBerry concept phone called Shadow, that runs HP/Palm’s webOS platform.

This model will still include functions from BB OS, BBM included here. BlackBerry Shadow runs on top of an ARM15 dual core processor at 1 GHz and it features an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED Flash. The designer mentions that this handset incorporates glow lines n the back that can read the user’s thoughts, so how cool is that? I guess this is more of a mood sensing feature than actual mind reading… Social networking is also included on the BlackBerry Shadow, as well as a 5 megapixel front camera with flash for video chat.
ackBerry with strong social networking features? I’ll let you decided… Also, notice that the phone comes with an edge to edge display that’s probably around 4 to 4.5 inches in diagonal…

HTC to take control of Beats Electronics

Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC is paying $309 million for a 51 percent share in Beats Electronics, maker of high-end headphones. Beats Electronics is well known for its partnership with music producer and rapper Dr. Dre.

The Beats deal is the fifth acquisition of HTC this year and it will allow the company to integrate its sound technology into HTC smartphones. Like other phone makers that use the Android OS, HTC is trying to differentiate its phones from competitors like Motorola and Samsung.

HTC said that it will release smartphones that incorporate the technology of Beats by the end of the year.

In an interview Beats Electronics chairman and music mogul Jimmy Iovine said, “We are going to be in business with HTC and they’re going to help us and were going to help them in every way they can. And you’ll see Beats audio in just about every phone or tablet they want it to be in, but they know what we’ve built and respect the brand and will help us continue to innovate and push Beats further.”
Beats Electronics has an ongoing deal with Hewlett Packard (HP), which puts its technology into the HP TouchPad and PCs. HTC will have exclusive use of its technology for smartphones.

The latest figures reported by Gartner, a market research company, reveal that sales of smartphones increased to 107.7 million units in Q2, up 74 percent over the year. Android-powered smartphones has a 43.4 percent market share, up from last year’s 17.2 percent.
