Apple iPad 3 ready to leave Foxconn for US?

iPads on the way, but is a price hike coming?Apple News By Chris Smith Monday at 19:19 UTC | Tell us what you think [ 2 comments ]

iPad 3's are ready to leave China for the United States

Shipments of Apple iPad 3 tablets are ready to depart the Foxconn plant in China and head for the United States, leaked documents have revealed.

The Apple Pro blog has obtained what it claims to be a shipping document that says the tablet is set to arrive on US shores no later than March 9th, two days after the rumoured date for the launch event.

The document shows that shipments will be made to three major airports in the United States for easy distribution around the country.

Combine the two assumptions and it seems fair to suggest that, just like last year, the Apple iPad 3 will go on sale in the United States around a week after the launch date.

Price hike incoming?

Recent reports seem to suggest that the iPad 3 will boast a much-improved Retina Display, a faster A5X or A6 processor as well as a 4G LTE radio and a camera with a larger sensor.

However, reports today suggest that Apple fans may be forced to pay more for those extra features.

Speculation from the far east suggests that the base price for the iPad 3 will be $579, rather than the $499 users are currently paying for a Wi-Fi-only 16GB iPad 2.

2. @badgerboy1977 - I think price and VFM do matter, at least to some Apple buyers. I think you need to take in to account other factors. For example, I've got a Mac, two Apple TV's and two iPhone 4's in my house. I'd like a tablet, and have looked at cheaper tabs than the iPad but none of them will fit in with the rest of the kit I've already got. What with universal apps, home sharing, airplay etc., the iPad is still the most attractive proposition, even if it is more expensive than some other products.

1. That kind of price hike isn't too bad but to be frank, Apple could charge a grand for it and it would still sell millions. It clearly wouldn't actually be worth that much but considering that when you compare say the iPhone4s launch to the Galaxy S2's, on the same tariff the iPhone cost over £200 more up front despite being slightly inferior hardware so its fairly obvious that price and value for money is not a factor in an Apple buyers decision making.

Angry Birds Space, get ready to fling birds out of this world

"> Tweet

angry-birds-space

Angry Birds is fun, and it’s arguably the most popular mobile game out there. But there are only so many holidays and new levels that we can play before things start getting repetitive. Today, Rovio is here to tell you that the fun is not close to being over, yet. The company is exploring new territories and has taken the next version of Angry Birds all the way to outer space.

Angry Birds Space will be the next addition to the popular game collection, which will be released this coming March 22nd. We do not yet know what to expect of this game, other than the fact that it will take place out of this world. Rovio is releasing this game in collaboration with NASA and National Geographic, so who knows what that could entail.

New levels, characters and 3D effects are all possibilities, but it is more enticing to think of the different experiences that such a game could provide. I am very excited to see if there will be different gravity effects.

We will have to sit tight until more details show up. But for now, take a look at Rovio’s new teaser and let us know what you think. What do you guys think could make this game stand out from the other Angry Birds iterations?

can’t wait for this one… even though i am tired of angry birds already, they may have something up their sleeves….

How do they breathe in space?

Please tell me the birds have little bird space-suits.

This was fun when it first came out but haven’t played in while. Don’t think that being in space is going to be enough to entice me to go back to it again.

Hmm I imagine if it is free I’ll probably download it play it for the first few levels and not touch it again for a month just like I do with most of the games on my phone.
