Apple is preparing its new TV called iTV to be released later this year. New technology IGZO (indium, gallium, zinc, oxide) display, made by Sharp, is to be implemented on this new iTV as well as other Apple products.

All of the major mobile platforms are covered, since the app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. This includes the likes of the iPhone and the new iPad, the latter of which received its very own updated version of the app in recent weeks.

In just three weeks the new Apple iPad has risen to account for 10% of total iPad net traffic. The New iPad 3 seemed assured of success after selling 3 million tablets in its first three days on sale, and according to Chitika iPad tracker, the new iPad now accounts for 10% of all iPad use on its network.
The figures are great news for Apple, who were selling this year's version on the strength of a much-improved Retina quality display and superior graphics processing compared with the earlier models. If the current sales trends were maintained, Apple would be looking at selling as many units of the latest iPad 3 as they sold of both iPad and iPad 2 just six months after launch. Read more [...]
