After pioneering the tablet market two years ago, Apple is counting on the new model to beat back competition from newer devices running Google Inc's Android software. The company has sold more than 55 million iPads, generating at least $34.5 billion in revenue. Amazon.com Inc's Kindle Fire, which uses Android, emerged as the iPad's biggest rival over the holiday shopping season last year. "
The article states: ""We have something you really have to see. And touch," Apple said today in an invitation, which features a picture of an iPad screen. The new device will sport a high-definition display, run a faster processor and work with speedier wireless networks, people familiar with the product said last month.

In some respects the "Tablet Wars" haven't really taken off. It is the Apple iPad versus the other tablets. At this stage (third iPad), the market is all Apple. The Kindle Fire and the Barnes and Noble Nook are mostly e-readers and the newer versions are approaching the multitasking nature of the iPad, but are not there yet. There is the Samsung Galaxy tablet - which approaches the website of the iPad, but really doesn't complete.
Still tuned - tablets will continue to be hot news for a long time!!!
