New iPad 3

The excitement built into a frenzy ahead of today's iPad3 launch event - now the wait is over. Yohoo! The live-blogs are still warm from the iPad3 announcement simply called "The New iPad". Apple stopped time while everyone waited to hear what the latest and greatest gadget will do for everyone that already wants one.

As the announcement, led by new CEO, Tim Cook progressed, it became crystal clear that Apple is still 100% focused on the consumer market. Missing from the features and specifications on the new iPad were any 'must have' features for the Enterprise Corporate user. Maybe this is because vendors are in the driver seat when it comes to the consumerization of IT in the Enterprise.

Specs for The New iPad: 4G LTE, Ax5 Processor, Retina "HD" Display and approximately the same form-factor size and weight of the current generation of iPad.

The name. Did you notice it? The name is not iPad HD. It's just iPad. Which demonstrates two things. First, that rumors are bullshit (but I always tell you that. All the rumors are when it comes to Apple. They just become true if you give them enough time).

Then, and most importantly, it shows that Apple has finally realized that this naming scheme was going nowhere. Does iPad 15 make any sense to you? No. Which is why they have just adopted the same strategy as they adopted with MacBooks and iMacs. Just call them by their name and attach a year number or some other descriptive string in your stock systems. It makes sense.

So much sense that I bet they will call the iPhone 5 just the iPhone. You heard that rumor here first, folks! BELIEVE IT!
