Tutorial: Install Linux Mint 12 KDE Using BTRFS File System

Rumours surrounding the iPad 3's expected characteristics and release date are once once again carrying out the rounds. This time Apple rumour mongers get a new lease with an alleged casing photo leak.

What to Expect and What not to Expect? The photo clearly depicts the back-housing of the next iPad (presumably the iPad three or iPad HD). The image is courtesy of Repair Labs Blog, which states the back-housing on iPad three will be similar to the 1 on prior model.

Although, expect a bigger battery, slightly revamped logic board, new cameras, and a distinct screen. The rumour mills so far have been consistent with the leaked pictures, which give us a semblance of hope and belief on what to expect from the most-awaited gadget this year. Sources close to Apple have already hinted that the new iPad will go dynamic with double resolution Retina display (a whopping 2048 x 1536 pixels), even though the device most likely will resemble its predecessor in looks. However, expect the new tablet to be a millimetre thicker in comparison general.

Also on the cards is the A6 CPU and the iPad 3 is expected to flaunt a substantially potent GPU, which is consistent with our expectations. But the significant surprise is that the A6 will not feature a quad-core chip and instead will retain dual-core from the original configuration. Prior stories about the iPad three featuring a quad-core processor and an LTE capability onboard clearly appear inaccurate for a couple of valid causes. Primarily, a quad-core redesign would incur additional fees and time that could further delay the release of the most-anticipated tablet.

As for 4G LTE connectivity, Qualcomm's chipset will see the light of day only in the second or third quarter of 2012, which in impact could delay Apple's iPad three if it is adopted. As far as the release date goes, a February announcement is unlikely. So, what is the catch? Think about last year's iPad 2 release in early March that bided some time in finding resellers before hitting the retailers and it is likely that Apple would repeat a related feat this year.
