Now that CES 2012 is over, the iPad rumor mill is getting into full swing. It’s pretty much accepted wisdom in the tech world that the Apple iPad 3 will need to pack a quad-core processor to avoid being wiped out by that 7-inch Transformer Prime when it arrives for $250 in Q2.

Also widely expected is a higher-res display, though whether Apple offers a Retina quality screen is not yet known for certain. One source at one of Apple’s manufacturing partners claimed last week that Apple aims to reach full output of the iPad 3 in February. Others wonder whether the new iPad will offer LTE support, which sources claim is more likely to happen before any LTE-enabled iPhone arrives thanks to the iPad’s bigger battery, which would be better able to sustain the high battery juice toll of LTE support.

Apple is reported to be considering starting streaming movies from the Cloud. Discussions are underway between Apple and some movie studios.

Ultimately users should be able to stream movies to their iOS devices from the iCloud, without having to store the content on their portable device.

Currently Netflix and LoveFilm offer apps for the same type of service. Until now, the Apple iCloud service has only provided cloud-based storage or streaming for music, photos and documents. The tier-based service offers 5GB of gratis online storage, but users can buy more space. Apple is known to be keen to get a foothold in the movie-streaming market.

Want to try a real challenge? “Last Chance” mode allows for no second chances. “Count Down” mode gives you 2 minutes to make your conversions count. Are you good enough?
