Ten features which you can't find from ipad 3 anymore

Apple’s announcement of its upcoming tablet, the iPad 3, is right around the corner. While it’s easy to speculate about what Apple will include with the new iPad 3, it’s also useful to focus on what consumers and business users won’t find in the iPad 3. Sure, there will be several improvements coming to the tablet that everyone likes, but users should expect to find some omissions that might make you take pause.

So, with Apple’s big event just hours away, the question is: What will Apple not include in the iPad 3?

Pricing matters greatly in the world of tablets. It’s why the Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet from Barnes & Noble are so popular. And yet, any hope that the iPad 3 will be any cheaper than its predecessors should be tossed out the window. The iPad is designed to be a premium product on sale for a premium price.

For years, consumers and enterprise users have been hoping for everything from a Secure Digital (SD) card slot to a USB port in the iPad. But time and again, Apple has balked at providing such options. Those hoping for the same in the iPad 3 will be sorely disappointed; like it or not, extra ports and slots won’t be coming to Apple’s tablet anytime soon.

Considering the iPad 2 comes with a dual-core processor, it’s highly unlikely that the iPad 3 case will, as well. Apple will almost certainly bundle a quad-core processor in the iPad 3, keeping it ahead of the iPhone 4S and drawing a clear distinction between its latest tablet and that device’s predecessor. Expect the dual-core tablet processor to go away.

Have you seen the announcement for the iPad 3 event? Interestingly, it seems to show an iPad that doesn’t come with a home button. Such an idea isn’t out of the question. For months, rumors have been swirling, saying Apple has created a new gesture for getting back to the home screen. Will the iPad 3 be the first device to come with that feature?
