Apple releases iPad but rivals are coming soon

Apple released their iPad on Saturday 3rd of April and on the first day managed to sell more than 300,000 units. With the release Apple will certainly have a lead in the tablet market, and this is a good thing for them because Nokia and Samsung will be releasing similar devices later on this year. Although these devices will offer similar capabilities to that of the iPad they will of course be running on different O/S platforms because Apple will never let others use their operating system. In this regard these rival devices will be using either a tablet edition of Microsoft’s Windows or perhaps MeeGo which is more targeted at the tablet market.

Apple to offer free iPad O/S upgrades till version 4 only

According to AplleInsider, iPad O/S upgrades which will come out after version 4.0 will not be free. The same situation is being currently faced by iPod Touch owners. And if you think that an O/S with a version higher than 4.0 will be released in the distant future, you are very wrong, because the iPad will not be released with a 1.0 O/S but with a 3.2 one! 4.0 will then be relased later this year, so from 2011 onwards any updates will have to be purchased.

iPods/iPhones overheating?

It seems that not many people know that Apple’s second generation Nanos had a problem which sometimes made them overheat, catch fire, or even explode. Recent reports are suggesting that the problem has resurfaced in the current iPod Touch/iPhone. For instance in South Korea some iPods are already being recalled because of overheating. Also, in Japan the government issued a warning that iPods can overheat. Finally, in the US, Apple is being sued by the mother of a child whose iPod Touch exploded and injured the child’s leg.
