It has been rumored for a while that the next-generation iPad or an iPad 3 will be announced in the first week of March. I got this news over at 9to5mac. The leaks part include Dock connectors, LCD Panel and Rear Shell.
The back panel hints at a slightly thicker iPad gaining about 1mm that is likely to house new components and a bigger battery.
iPad 2 vs iPad 3: Back camera hole.
This all hints at an upgraded camera lens and sensor on iPad 3 that is hardly a surprise knowing the iPad 2′s iPod touch-grade camera is on the low-end. With iPad 3′s Retina Display being 3-megapixels, upgrading both cameras is a prudent move. Look for 1080p video recording like the iPhone 4S augmented with about 5-megapixel still image resolution. Of course, it is wise not to read too much into the leaks as these parts could easily belong to early prototypes.
The announcement that Jobs would receive a Grammy was made in December but yesterday, The Recording Academy gave out the award. Eddy Cue, Apple's Senior VP of Internet Software and Services, accepted the honor for Jobs, saying:
Accepting this award means so much to me because music meant so much to him. He told us that music shaped his life. It made him who he was. Everyone who knows Steve knows the profound impact that artists like Bob Dylan and the Beatles had on him."
Today I cam across a video from YouTube of a Apple's 2012 products lineup. There are mainly 4 products; iBox, iCam, iWatch, and iPhone SJ. These product concepts are really stunning. Here are come pictures
This is from Redmondpie.com:
Obviously the gadgets shown in the video below are purely fictional and in no way represent any real life products, either existing or in the pipeline but they do show off the designer’s wonderful imagination and design abilities. The first gadget to be showcased is the beautiful and sleek iBox which functions as a set top box with atouch screeninterface. The iBox has a capacitive, seven inch touch screen and is designed to work as your own personal high definition television. Connecting the iBox to your existing TV would allow users to take control using touch gestures and Siri voice commands.
As I am also a photographer, this product is really amazing to me. The iCam functions as a DSLR 4/3 camera with a beautiful aluminum body and also a touch screen.
Next one is the iWatch. These are some amazing features of this concept product:
- Wifi and Bluetooth
- Weather forecast system.
- Connection to iPhone/iPad via Bluetooth or Wifi.
- Frontal Face Camera.
- 32GB of storage.
The last one is the iPhone SJ, which stands for iPhone Steve Jobs. The new iPhone would benefit from a thinner from a factor with reduced weight, made from polycarbonate, aluminum and PK2 Kevlar which house a fully capacitive glass touch display.

I never thought that this would be something I’d ever say, but the device that changed my life celebrates its fifth birthday today. Yes, the retroactively named original, or ’2G’ Phone was first announced by an enthusiastic Steve Jobs during a keynote speech at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 9th 2007.
Macrumors has posted that Sony is trying to pair up with Aaron Sorkin, the Writer behind The Social Network, to produce Steve Jobs movie based on Walter Isaacson's book
Sony is moving forward with a Steve Jobs movie based on Isaacson's book. And one of the writers being courted by producers to pen his story, according to a person who was briefed on the project but not authorized to speak about it publicly, is Aaron Sorkin, Hollywood's chronicler-in-chief of the complicated visionary. The "Moneyball" and "Social Network" writer was said by the person to be considering the prospect but had made no decisions. Sony and a Sorkin representative declined to comment on the writer's potential involvement.
Steve once asked Aaron to write a movie for Pixar, Sorkin declined because he didn't "think he could make inanimate objects talk."
STEVE: Once you make them talk they won’t be inanimate.
ME: The truth is I don’t know how to tell those stories. I have a young kid who loves Pixar movies and she’ll turn cartwheels if I tell her I’m writing one and I don’t want to disappoint her by writing the only bad movie in the history of Pixar.
Steve Jobs' biography is headed toward the top of Amazon's list top-selling book for 2011, currently ranked #12
