Ultimele saptamani au fost incarcate cu zvonuri despre viitorul model al tabletei iPad 2, multa lume descoperind informatii in iOS 4.3 sau de pe la diversi furnizori, insa un studiu trimis clientilor de un analist ameircan pare sa confirme tot ce s-a prezentat pana acum. Conform unui studiu de analiza trimis de analistul Ming-Chi Kuo catre clientii companiei la care lucreaza, tableta iPad 2 va avea un procesor dual core de 1.2 GHz Cortex A9(ce ar putea fi redenumit in Apple A5), un ecran cu rezolutie 1024×768, 512MB RAM, ecran anti-reflexie cu 30% mai subtire decat actualul model, chip grafic POWERVR SGX 543(cu de pana la 200% – 300% mai puternic decat cel din iPhone 4) produs de Imagination Technologies si 2 camere identice precum cele din iPod Touch 4G.
“The improvement of iPad 2 display focuses on thickness and anti-reflection, not resolution. iPad 2 display module is 30~35% thinner than iPad 1 and it’s helpful for better form factor. Thanks to anti-reflection, iPad 2 could have better sunlight readable experience and it’s helpful for Apple to compete with Amazon’s fast growing Kindle business. The most important reason why iPad 2 won’t have retinal display is yield rate of panel making. At this point, making high resolution and bright IPS/FFS panel is not easy and the production volume and cost couldn’t meet Apple’s requirements.”
Studiu continua prin detalierea unui aspect foarte interesant, tableta iPad 2 va avea cantitate de RAM dubla fata de iPad, insa va avea memorii mai rapide deoarece Apple ar fi ales sa implementeze module RAM tactate la 1066 Mhz fata de 800Mhz cat au modelele actuale. In ceea ce priveste conectivitatea, raportul sustine ca iPad 2 va fi produsa in 3 versiuni: CDMA, 3G si GSM, Apple preferand sa faca si o versiune CDMA pentru a atrage o parte foarte mare a pietei pe care pana acum a ignorat-o. In ceea ce priveste camerele, vom avea o camera frontala de 0.3 megapixeli(cum are iPhone 4) si o camera VGA in partea din spate, exact ca la iPod Touch 4G. Era normal ca Apple sa faca asa, nu avea nici un rost sa puna o camera foarte puternica pe o tableta cu care foarte putini vor face poze.
“As expected, the report also states “iPad 2 will also have a GPU using Imagination’s SGX543 dual core graphics technology which is 200~300% powerful than iPhone 4.RAM is also on the rise, the report says. For making full use of GPU upgrading advantage, iPad 2 needs bigger memory bandwidth. So iPad 2 has 512MB RAM, same as iPhone 4 and twice as much as iPad 1, but running at higher clock 1,066 MHz for getting bigger memory bandwidth (iPhone 4 memory clock is 800 MHz).”
Cam atat despre iPad 2, multe modificari hardware si cu siguranta ceva noutati software, insa cam tat. Parca ma asteptam la ceva mai mult din partea celor de la Apple mai ales ca au aparut atatea tablete pe piata.
