Wehave found so countless rumors concerning the March 7th announcement for the new iPad3 release concerning the level, mid-range and high-end market divisions. Maybe an 8 inch iPad, 8GB iPad2 or iPad3, iPad2s or iPad2x and the new iPad3 with dual processor...Quad core A6 CPU or Logic Board with A5X?
The rumor mill is endless!
The competition with the new Kindle Fire's and Nook Color, size and price seems to be key. Rather than rehash these rumors in this blog, click on the links below that interest you and review the rumors. Let's see which ones come true. We will be on Spring Break at Palm Beach State College the week of the big announcement and we will get back to this blog the week of March 12.
Feb. 29th Apple rumored to release 3 different versions of iPad3.
From CBS News "techtalk", we find the latest 'new' rumors surfacing of three possible models of iPad 3. The link below reports that 9to5Mac is claiming sources close to Apple revealed this information. This also cites earlier speculation by DigiTimes that Apple gave two versions of the new tablet to "upstream partners for development," code, called J1 and J2.
These are the new titles below that we have purchased to help students, faculty and staff cast their vote for the 2012 Read Together Palm Beach County Campaign. Vote by Feb. 24.

Dr. Richard Shepardson is Palm Beach State's EAP Cluster Chair. He is working with our library this semester to promote reading using eReaders in his EAP 0420 classes, with approximately 25 students in all. Students will have the opportunity to use a Kindle Fire and/or a Nook Color this semester. We hope to receive a lot of feedback from students concerning their likes and dislikes about each device.
Tech Services added a new book, The Appointment, to each Kindle Fire and Nook Color, to start off the semester. If students find other books they would like to read, with Dr. Shepardson's approval, we will download these requests. We are very excited about these new devices and hope this program will bring many excellent books to our fiction collection.
The Year of the Flood isassigned reading by one of our teachers. Students are very pleased that they can check out a Kindle Fire to take home for this assignment.

The Kindle Fire Wi-Fi connection is easy with our college system. Students sign in with their Panther Web ID and password. Off campus they can connect using any Wi-Fi system at their disposal without their college sign in information. For students assigned or approved reading, once the book has been purchased and downloaded by our library staff, students can read anywhere without Wi-Fi.
We are unpacking boxes of Nook Color devices today in Tech Services and processing these new devices for students in Dr. Shepardson's class for check out.. We will post more information about this remarkable semester project very soon.
