the iPad it's still number one in tablets but way down from the ninety percent market share it once enjoyed clearly apples not going to rule the tablet market like it did the mp3 player biz but what does it do to at least keep iPad at number one I'm Brian Cooley with the top five things to expect in ipad 3 number five a thinner faster longer sounds at the Six Million Dollar man's resume for a porn movie but i'm referring to thinner size faster cpu and longer battery life incremental improvements on most or all of these counts that's virtually a given number four is siri the world's best-known digital parlor trick it'll finally come to the ipad partly because that will now have the hotter cpu i just mentioned and that's an important part of being able to get Siri to understand you and do her voodoo thing I don't understand now Siri has huge halo value to Apple it's a real set them apart kind of technology though it's not that different from the voice command tech found on Android and in cars number three is a better camera correction a decent camera I've always been shocked how bad the camera is on the iPad 2 especially since the one in the iphone 4s is so good if you're gonna ask folks to hold up an ipad as a camera and look that stupid they better get a good photo out of it number two is a better display now the ipad 2 is currently 1024 x 768 resolution and a 43 kind of squarish aspect ratio both are kind of pedestrian by modern standards so look for the resolution to climb to full HD or a thousand 80 or more lines measured vertically but still remaining at a 43 aspect ratio you see apple's always believed that a widescreen 16-9 display while good for movie viewing is weird for reading or browsing plus it would raise hell with all those ipad apps already written for 43 ratio before i take into the number one thing to look for an ipad 3 here's a tantalizing rumor that doesn't make the list a smaller iPad The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Apple is shopping for a supplier of 8 inch LCD screens hmm that's either for one really big iphone one really small iMac or one very tasty kindle killer but there's no indication such an iPad will arrive anywhere near the March 2012 date we're looking for her iPad 3 the number one thing I'm looking for and ipad 3 virtually a lock is 4G introducing a mobile wireless device today without 4G is like offering one with a small screen well that describes the iphone 4s and it seems to be selling okay but anyway 4 g's the kind of technology that almost makes more sense on a tablet than a phone since the tablet begs for more high res full screen data like streaming video so consider this a virtual certainty but of course a Wi-Fi only version will also still be available for more top fives like this go to top 5 cnet com I'm Brian Cooley thanks for watching you
