iPad 3, iPad HD, what will it be?

*This entry is based solely on rumors.*

Tomorrow Apple is supposedly announcing the new iPad during a press conference. This new device will be available March 16, or maybe another day. We don’t know for sure.

The rumors were that it would be called the iPad 3 but, as creative as that name is, that might be wrong. As rumors tend to do, they’ve changed and are now that it might be named iPad HD, or maybe iPad 2S.

What’s going to be different on the new iPad? Well, we really don’t know. But the rumors are that there’s a display that’s better than the 1024 x 768 version found in the iPad 2. It’s said to have more pixels that some high-definition televisions. The insides are to be “better, faster, stronger.” Wouldn’t that be appropriate to say about most next generation devices?

With the exception of the new iPad being 1mm thicker than its predecessor, it’s said to look almost exactly like the old version from the back. So if you’re walking down the sidewalk and see the back of an iPad laying in the street, you might want to flip it over before thinking, “Eh, it’s the old one. I shouldn’t even bother picking it up.” The 1mm difference does mean that old iPad cases may not fit on the new device. But if you’re spending the money for the new one, you might as well get a new case (and matching shoes and accessories).

Speaking of spending money, how much is this new one going to cost? Well, a lot more than the current one. I guess we’ll have to wait to find out that, and the truth behind the rumors tomorrow.

Technology in Construction & Manufacturing: Why It’s More Than Just Device Management

January 20, 2026

Modern construction and manufacturing sites are no longer just about heavy machinery; they’re digital ecosystems. Tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and mobile apps are now essential for everything from blueprint access to production monitoring. These tools enable real-time collaboration, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. But when your workforce is spread across remote job sites or large facilities, keeping these systems connected and secure becomes a challenge. Construction Blueprint & Plan Access: Crews use tablets to view updated plans on-site, reducing errors and rework. Safety & Compliance Reporting: Mobile apps allow instant incident reporting and safety checks. Equipment Tracking: IoT sensors monitor heavy machinery usage and maintenance needs. Manufacturing Production Line Monitoring: Tablets and IoT devices track throughput and detect anomalies. Quality Control: Mobile devices capture and share inspection data in real time. Inventory Management: Connected devices streamline material tracking and reduce downtime. These tools keep projects moving, but only if they’re secure, updated, and accessible anywhere. Why Remote Access Is Critical Construction sites and manufacturing plants often operate in remote or rugged environments. Workers need secure, reliable access to company systems, whether they’re in the field, on the shop floor, or traveling between sites. Without proper management, connectivity issues and security gaps can lead to delays, data breaches, and compliance failures.
