CNET is reporting that Apple will introduce a new high-speed connection technology with either their upcoming MacBook Pro or another product altogether. Light Peak : a technology by intel: fits the bill, since Apple has been backing it up since the beginning. With a Macbook refresh visible at a short distance, it seems that the rumor may actually be true.

iPhone also getting Multitasking gestures and MobileMe Photo Streams
No matter how much apple may deny that it will disallow multitasking gestures in their final release software, they are starting to show up in various places including the iPhone settings panel.
The same problem we spoke about earlier, bothers us, using “four or five fingers” sounds pretty unreasonable for a 3.5-inch display.
9to5 Mac seems to have unearthed traces in the iOS 4.3 beta of a new feature called “Photo Streams” that seems to be a way to share continuous streams of photos with friends you approve, presumably through MobileMe.
Although Apple charges $99 for the mobileme service, which seems pretty unwanted. But, then again a mobileme refresh is also due this year

iOS 4.3 beta 2 released : iPad 2 to have a proximity sensor ?
A the picture above shows, the iOS 4.3 Beta 2 was released. Folks digging around in the developer files found that the iPad 2 will have a proximity sensor which might lock and unlock the device when its put in , or removed (respectively) from the cover.
This refuels the no home button rumors we heard about. Please Apple, don’t remove that home button.A slight sigh of relief is shown by the fact that apple claims that multitasking functions are a test and will not be available in the final build of iOS 4.3 . This would definitely mean that the Home button still exists. It does, it doesn’t , we wont know until it’s finally released.

The Apple iPad 2 – What we know So Far
Apple has its devices on a yearly refresh, every year around the same time, you get an upgraded version of the iPhone, the iPod, Macbooks etc. Just like that the iPad will also see a refresh. We started hearing rumors of iPad’s redesigned structure and obvious design changes in November 2010.
Now the iPad, was announced in the last week of Jan 2010, we can expect a similar time frame for a refresh of the Tablet. Something has to be new and the Rumor mill has been running haywire over it.
Here are a collection of images over the past month and our thoughts on what the new iPad may be like.
New Structure
Images like the one above are renders of the carbon fibre patent that Apple had filed on May 18, 2009. This incorporates a liquid metal structure with a carbon fibre back. This would not only make the iPad extremely nice looking, But, also give it a lighter yet solid construction, immensely improving the antenna.
The likes of this happening are however, very- very low. We still have our hopes up.
Cases
The second wave of iPad 2 rumors came with iPad 2 cases. These cases started showing up at manufacturers across the china market, showing cutouts for the back camera and an new speaker cutout.
This shows us that two things that might come are the Camera on the back and a improved speaker on the next gen iPad. We feel there is a very high chance of this happening.
Facetime and Retina Display
Since Apple has been adding front cameras and retina displays to all its products in 2010, it wouldn’t be false to guess that the iPad 2 will have at least a front facing camera and a higher res display, if not a retina display. The new iOS 4.3 beta revealed some interesting information on the next release. A bunch of people snooping around the new files found wallpapers for the iPad that have the resolution . – 1536 x 800px compared to the existing 768 x 400 px that is approximately 4x the resolution (2x both ways).
We also believe, looking at Apple’s trend that the new iPad will definitely have a front facing camera and a Higher resolution display.
Gizmodo posted a good sketch of what the iPad 2 may look like, including resolution enhancement.
Engadget got hold of a dummy of the iPad 2 during CES at one of the case manufacturers booths. this showed a new design- with a flat back and a potentially larger capacity – 128 GB to be precise. This would be just brilliant for the iPad
New Rumors
After a series of breakouts, a whole bunch of new information has come into light. There is news of a new A5 chip, this will be used in the new iPhone this year and apparently the new iPad as-well. Whats the A5 chip? well the heart of the A5 is the multi-core ARM Cortex A9. Which will also be the heart of Nvidia Tegra processors that will be in the series of Android devices slated for this year, along with the Ti-omap processor in the Blackberry Playbook.
AppleInsider claims that Apple is moving to dual-core SGX543 graphics, up from the A4’s single SGX535 GPU. This would enable it to process graphics at 4x times the capability – and the 4x resolution included. We can also expect 1080P hHD video output, and an improved experience along with higher ram and overall enhancement of hardware. But, hey that what we want anyway.
Some more interesting pictures of cases have also shown up. this ones have to new cut-out – claimed possibly for Sd-card slot and a display out. We are highly skeptical that Apple may add a memory card slot to increase memory size, may only act as a camera card reader, But, nonetheless the SD CARD slot would be a great addon. The Video out port may be a possibility, But, then again Apple can use the dock connector for that and dont really need a dedicated video out port, Unless its HDMI.
So here is a a Final List of features that may or may not come to the iPad
- Facetime Camera – High Possibility
- Rear Camera – High Possibility
- New Liquid Metal design + carbon fibre – Unlikely
- 4x Graphics – Possible
- More Ram – High Possibility (and much needed)
- New A5 Chip – High Possibility
- Sd Card Slot- Unlikely
- Mini Display Port – Unlikely
- Larger Capacity 128 gb – Possible
- Retina Display – High Res Display is more likely
- 4G – No rumors on that – our guess – Not happening

Steve Jobs takes leave of absence for Medical reasons – Assigns Tim to take over.
This may not be technology news, But, he is our favorite CEO. This time around a memo from Steve states that he will be taking leave of absence to “focus on his health”. read the full memo below.Apple CEO Steve Jobs today sent the following email to all Apple employees:
Team,
At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.
I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.
Steve
It’s unclear whether this leave of absence is related to his 2009 liver transplant or his earlier battles with pancreatic cancer. Here is hoping that he is fit and well soon enough , else the new iPad 2 launch may not be as exciting as we would want it to be.

Want Blackberry messenger on your iPhone or Android – RIM just might allow it!
Looks like Research in Motion, the big company behind Blackberry the device that has revolutionized the youth market of India and many developing countries, Along with the more serious corporations and business segment, realizes that the market for blackberry services can be expanded an that might just be very true. They are talking about offering BB services cross platform, in an attempt to monetize the iPhone and Android market in their favor.
RIM SAYS:
BlackBerry is and will continue to be dominant in most corporations, [but] it’s not going to be the only device given the fact that consumers have the choice to bring in their own devices and IT departments are often letting them in. So there’s a question there. Do those corporations have to manage those devices differently or is there the possibility that RIM might extend capabilities to make it easier for those corporations to manage those devices as well? … If the right thing to do is to extend a subset of those [BlackBerry] capabilities to be able to manage other devices, it’s worthy of a conversation
While it still may be just talks for the time being, we wont be surprised if we see Mr Lazaridus with Steve at the iPhone Update this year, bbm on iPhone- whoopitiy woo.
