Apple update: IPad 3.

Interesting to read some of the views on IPad's and the tablet computing sector which suggests that the IPad 2 has very few competitors in the market at the present time (although things can change very quickly).

"With HP is giving up its TouchPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is stuck with patent issue, the tablets by MMI and RIM are disappointing and Sony’s tablet lacks the refinement of the iPad— Moskowitz points at the lackluster competition for Apple’s iPad. ( J.P Morgan’s Mark Moskowitz)

As a result the article goes on to suggest that any upgrade ie. IPad 3 will not now be unveiled until 2012.
Interesting because it leaves the field open for IPad 2 sales to be maximised.

More importantly, Apple shares continue to move ahead as investors begin to anticipate 4th quarter results. 
And yesterday the shares breached the $400 level finishing the day at $411.90. Which means that, with the added benefit of a strengthened dollar (£1.5678 : £1), the shares have gained 116.80% over 21 months whilst being held in the virtual portfolio (27.03% year to date).

Apple @ $411.90, +$11.40 (+2.85%).
