at its developer conference. Codenamed “Telluride�, the iOS 5 is designed to run on almost every mobile device that Apple produces, and it features, amongst other things, improved messaging and photosharing capabilities. There are also reports suggesting that the visual design of the device could be different from iPhone models. The iOS 5 upgraded with cloud integration, music streaming and voice interface comes with 4G connectivity along with social networking too. A new report from International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that this year Apple is projected to account for 18.2 per cent of the global smartphone market, and this is way below the market share of 38.9 per cent that devices running Android are expected to account for. Apple is also working towards incorporating a few improvements in its third tablet device, the iPad 3. The screen resolution in iPad 3 could be few times higher than what we have in iPad 2, similar to what we currently have in the iPhone 4. There is also strong buzz about Apple finally making an entry into the TV space. Reports indicate that the Apple TV will be integrated with FaceTime and iTunes, and it will have many compelling possibilities for playing video games. Users will be able to pipe their iPad games directly into their Apple TV and enjoy a larger screen experience. Connectivity with the Internet, and availability of large number of apps, will also be a plus point.
