iPad 3 or iPad HD, Apple let’s the worm out Tuesday


It’s almost here, Apple’s BIG invite only event kicks off Tuesday, March 7 at 1 p.m. at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and it should be all about the Pad. The web should be flooded with pictures,  information speculation and probably some early reviews live from the event.

Here’s what we think we know about the iPad 3 or iPad HD.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple’s newest tablet will go on sale on March 16, which is also the grand opening of Apple’s two newest retail locations, one at the famous Harrod’s department store in London, England, and the other in Houston, Texas.

A name is just a name, right?

Who cares what it’s called only that it’s a true upgrade from the iPad 2 which works real well for me.  CNET reports that  Apple will forgo the number naming game and call the device the iPad HD. Duh, the next iPad will feature a 2048×1536 resolution Retina display, which is twice the resolution of iPad 0r iPad 2.

New design or just the same old size

While many of you have been hoping for a thinner pad,  that might be able to happen. Their  have been unoffcial photos posted by China-based gadget blog MIC Gadget of the front and back panels of  the iPad HD. It looks almost identical in design to the iPad 2. I think it will be a little bit thicker, thanks to a bigger battery required to power the new high-def display and all the new apps that will suck it dry of energy.

The iPad HD will, in fact, support 4G LTE connectivity as reported by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal. The  iPad will be available with a LTE radio on Verizon and AT&T, the only two Apple-approved carriers that currently have an LTE network up and running.

This report was supplemented from various new sources.

Nintendo’s Rhythm Heaven Fever for Wii Moves You

Starting today, video game fans and music lovers across the United States can use the Wii system to keep the beat in dozens of entertaining new ways. The Rhythm Heaven Fever game is now available, inviting players to enjoy a fresh lineup of more than 50 unique rhythm games. 

Easy to pick up and play but challenging to master, each minigame tasks players to tap buttons on the Wii Remote controller in time to catchy musical themes while completing a variety of quirky tasks. Rhythm Heaven Fever carries a suggested retail price of $29.99 in the United States.

Rhythm Heaven Fever takes the action to the living room for big beat-keeping fun. By rhythmically pressing the A and B buttons on their controller in time with the music, players might find themselves playing golf with a monkey, swinging a samurai sword or building robots on an assembly line. No matter what the activity, the game’s infectious soundtrack will keep heads bobbing and faces smiling as players test their rhythmic skills.

“If you’ve ever tapped your feet to the beat of your favorite song, you’ve already got what it takes to play Rhythm Heaven Fever,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “What makes the experience really unique is the wild mix of in-game activities coupled with the catchy music that appeals to a wide variety of players.”

As they improve their beat-keeping acumen, players earn medals that can be used to unlock a variety of bonus games and special sections to keep the groove going on and on. Unlockable content also includes two-player games that friends and family members can enjoy together. (Multiplayer modes require additional controllers, which are sold separately.)

Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wii.
