Latest Apple tablets will run on EE’s 4G network in UK
Rating: Older iPad 3 only worked on North American LTE networks
Much as predicted, Apple launched a new iPad mini tablet in California yesterday [October 23rd 2012], along with an improved version of the iPad. Significantly, both models will be compatible with EE’s 4G network in the UK – 4GEE, thanks to built-in support for Band 3 LTE. EE’s own web site here doesn’t yet make reference to the two new Apple devices. However, on Apple’s own web site here, it does say, “EE (soon to launch).” This will give EE another major boost for 4G sales in the run-up to Xmas sales. Continue reading

Industry reacts positively to Apple’s iPad 3 launch
Rating: Rumours of iPad mini prove false, though
It wasn’t exactly a well-kept secret. However, the industry’s reaction to Apple’s launch of the iPad 3 yesterday [March 7th 2012] has been pretty positive. According to Mike Anderson, CEO with Chelsea Apps Factory, “The new device is also certainly going to be a shot in the arm for the apps business.” Mark Watson, an evp for technology and engineering with Antenna, observed, “The apps that Apple demonstrated as part of their announcement as well as the improved integration of services like iCloud suggest that this device is going to reinforce Apple’s position as first-choice tablet and market leader.” Significantly, Apple still needs to do more Fred Huet, md with Greenwich Consulting, thinks. “While the iCloud is a good offering, further functionality is needed in order to up Apple’s game against the likes of Google and Amazon,” he argued. Lynnette Prigmore, head of product with Proporta, also praised the hardware. “We’re particularly excited to see the much awaited 4G LTE feature with a 9 hour battery life,” she claimed.

It seems that Apple hasn’t lost its flair for self-publicity one iota despite the loss of Steve Jobs. Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, has just presented his keynote address at MWC 2012 which has its origins in the world of GSM, of course. Schmidt appears to have maybe overlooked this point with his comments about mesh networks. But he’s primarily viewed as the public face of Android – the Google sponsored mobile OS. Android’s arch rival is, naturally, Apple’s iOS. Well, in a move almost certainly designed to steal Android’s thunder, Apple announced that it is holding a Press conference on March 7th [2012]. Even as Schmidt spoke. Continue reading
