COMMENTARY| When it comes to addictive technology that can occupy the minds and hands of consumers everywhere, Apple is usually near the top of the list. The iPad remains the top tablet PC around, and the Huffington Post puts the 2011 market share of the popular device around 75 percent. A report by CNNMoney states that as of the end of September, Apple had sold 25 million iPads in 2011 and is expected to add more than 10 million more to that total by the end of the year. So why all the fuss over iPad 3 rumors?
Digital Trends is reporting that the iPad 3 will make a market debut in three to four months, which as the article points out is not exactly a surprise because Apple tends to stick to regular update cycles. However, the article also points out that a Retina display, faster processor, and much more. Still, the iPad 2 is selling pretty well, despite being assaulted by various rivals on several fronts.
There are tablets that are more powerful than the iPad, many that are smaller, and a few that even look a little better. However, when push comes to shove and sales numbers are tallied up, the iPad stays at the front of the tablet PC war, as the Huffington Post article shows. Apple has a certain sex appeal, and rumors of an iPad 3 are enough to fuel speculation into overdrive, and not affect sales of the iPad 2 as the Los Angeles Times points out.
The iPad line has withstood all challengers that have come and gone, with many new devices being branded as iPad killers straight out of the gate. As if manufacturers did not have enough pressure, living up to the standard Apple has set is difficult. That's why when a new device gets ready to be released fans start to get excited. For now, iPad 3 rumors can run their course, the folks at Apple have built their empire on living up to expectations.
