iPad tops in satisfaction among tablet owners
Owners of Apple's iPad are the most satisfied among all tablet owners, says J.D. Power.In a poll of 1,857 tablet users for Volume One of J.D. Power's "2013 U.S. Tablet Satisfaction Study," the iPad rated the highest with a score of 836 out of 1,000, outpacing Amazon's Kindle Fire with a ranking of 829.Conducted in February and released Thursday, the study was aimed at tablet users who have owned their device for a year or less. Customer satisfaction was measured based on the five following factors in order of importance: performance (26 percent); ease of operation (22 percent); styling and design (19 percent); features (17 percent); and cost (16 percent).The iPad scored high in four of the factors, namely performance, ease of operation, styling and design, and features. The Kindle Fire performed well in terms of cost.Other tablet makers on the list included Samsung with a score of 822, Asus with 818, and Acer with 784.The study also found that 94 percent of highly satisfied tablet owners are likely to buy more products from the same company. Further, 41 percent of tablet owners who share the device among four or more persons said they "definitely will" buy their next tablet from the same manufacturer.Apple scored the top spot in a similar J.D. Power study released in September. In that survey, the iPad grabbed a grade of 848, with the Kindle Fire again in second place with 842.

iPad to debut in 9 more countries on May 28
The iPad will soon be hitting more of the world.Apple's tablet is set to launch in nine countries outside the U.S., starting May 28. Customers will be able to pick one up in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.K. Preordering starts Monday, at which time the international prices will be revealed.People in those nine countries will be able to buy any model iPad--either Wi-Fi only or the Wi-Fi/3G edition, in three memory configurations: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB.The tablet debuted in the U.S. in early April and was initially slated to make its international debut in late April. But U.S. demand that was higher than expected and a large number of preorders in the U.S. led Apple to push back the global launch date by a month. Apple has sold more than 1 million iPads in the United States, according to recently released figures.In the U.S., the iPad's Wi-Fi-only version costs $499 for 16GB of memory, $599 for 32GB, and $699 for 64GB. The Wi-Fi/3G edition costs $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB, and $829 for 64GB.Continuing its world tour, the iPad is next scheduled to launch in July in another nine places: Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Singapore.

iPad suppliers upping efforts; iPad at Best Buy on Saturday
Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty told clients in a note Monday that suppliers have increased their forecasts for Apple iPad shipments from 5 million in 2010 to between 8 million and 10 million, according to a report on Fortune. Suppliers now expect to ship 2.5 million iPads in the first three months alone.Apple is scheduled to begin selling the Wi-Fi version of the iPad at its retail stores April 3. The iPad Wi-Fi + 3G version is scheduled to be available in late April, the company has said. On Monday, Apple said that in addition to be being available at its 221 U.S. retail locations starting Saturday, the iPad would also be available from most Best Buy stores, select Apple authorized resellers, and campus bookstores. The company will also hold iPad workshops at its retail stores Saturday to help customers learn more about the device.Huberty says her sales estimates for calendar 2010 remains at 6-plus million. She indicated in the report that the consensus among analysts for iPad shipments is 3 million to 4 million.Reports this weekend had indicated that any new iPad orders would not begin shipping until April 12, which suggested that Apple has already burned through its initial iPad inventory.While nobody really knows for sure how many preorders Apple has taken for the iPad, initial speculation has the orders in the hundreds of thousands.See also: All about the Apple iPad (FAQ)

iPad pushes Apple into top mobile ranks
iPad pushes Apple into top mobile ranks
So, how did this happen? Investors will begin to categorize the iPad as a laptop, according to a Fortune magazine blog citing Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore.Based on this and the fact that Apple has sold more than 3 million iPads since sales began back in April, Apple jumps to No. 3. from No.7 in laptop sales, according to Whitmore.IDC had Apple ranked No. 7 in laptop shipments in a July report. And market research Gartner dropped some pretty big hints last month when it said that the "surging popularity of Apple's iPad temporarily cannibalized mini-notebooks (Netbooks), as well as consumer notebook sales to some degree."That cannibalization theme will likely become more pronounced for Apple in the coming months.ABI Research is forecasting that as many as 11 million tablets will be sold this year. "Assuming that competing tablets from other vendors do arrive in the second half of the year as expected, we believe that the iPad will account for a significant portion--but not all--of the projected 11 million units," ABI Research said. Meanwhile, none of the top PC companies has brought out a product to rival the iPad.The clock is ticking. Updated on August 3 at 2:05 p.m. PDT: with correction about iPad shipment numbers from ABI Research.

iPad pricing- How low can you go, Apple-
iPad pricing: How low can you go, Apple?
"While it remains to be seen how much traction the iPad gets initially, management noted that it will remain nimble (pricing could change if the company is not attracting as many customers as anticipated)," Shope wrote. Now, it's a truism that most companies are open to price cuts on any product if they need to increase sales. That said, this is an interesting disclosure coming from Apple execs, particularly so far in advance of the iPad's actual debut. Certainly, it calls to mind the company's decision to slash the price of the iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale and the early-adopter rebate it was forced to issue afterward.It seems odd, then, that Apple execs would even hint at the possibility of an early price cut lest they give folks already on the fence about buying the first iteration of the device more reason to stay there. Unless they're planning a prerelease price cut to really juice sales. Remember, Apple reportedly stands to make about a 42.9 percent margin on the iPad, so there's presumably plenty of room for the company to hit an even more aggressive price point that would really put the device in the Netbook range.

Report- Apple asking labels for unlimited music downloads
Report: Apple asking labels for unlimited music downloads
Apple is reportedly in talks with music labels to give its customers unlimited downloads of music they've purchased.Citing "people with knowledge of the plans," Bloomberg reported today that if an agreement is reached, people would have access to purchased music from all of the devices associated with their iTunes account. If the deal goes through, customers would basically be given access to an online backup of the music purchased through their iTunes membership.Companies reportedly in talks with Apple include Universal Music, Sony, Warner Music, and EMI.The report from Bloomberg echoes earlier ones that Apple would allow people to store more of their content online, transforming MobileMe into more of a storage locker and making people's content more accessible.Bloomberg speculates that the move by Apple and the music labels would also be a way to offset the growing popularity of online services like Pandora.Music isn't the only media Apple wants to put in the cloud. Last year, sources in the film industry told CNET that Apple executives discussed building a cloud service for content, including video.

No 3G music downloads for iPhone
No 3G music downloads for iPhone
According to Apple's iPhone 3G product page, the mobile version of the iTunes music store will remain accessible only over the phone's Wi-Fi connection, and will not take advantage of the new 3G capability. I guess it shouldn't come as a shock that the wireless version of iTunes (dubbed "iTunes Wi-Fi") should remain a strictly Wi-Fi service. Still, it does seem like Apple has missed an obvious opportunity to allow users more ways to purchase music.With services such as Napster Mobile and Rhapsody already allowing wireless music downloads over 3G networks for many iPhone competitors, Apple's reluctance to jump on board likely comes down to an unwillingness to share per-track revenues with AT&T. After all, when you own the music service and the hardware, why concede any profit to a wireless carrier if you can help it?Only Apple knows for sure why music downloads have been locked out of the iPhone's 3G capability, but personally I'm disappointed to not see it included. The iPhone is so close to becoming a great music discovery tool, but limitations such as this and lack of Flash audio support are big barriers for online music fans. Oh, and don't get me started about the lack of streaming Bluetooth audio.

JVC rolls out second-gen iPod-friendly TVs
JVC rolls out second-gen iPod-friendly TVs
In 2008, JVC became the first company to offer TVs with built-in iPod docks. For 2009, Panasonic is joining the fray with its own line of iPod-friendly TVs, but JVC is looking to defend its turf with a second generation of models. Among the array of purported feature improvements in the so-called TeleDock line for 2009.These TVs offer better iPod integration (multiple aspect ratios for iPod video playback; iPod charges whether TV is on or off; song and artist info displayed on TV during song playback; photo slide shows from iPod or USB drive can be displayed during music playback) as well as better integration with connected PCs (sync iTunes with a docked iPod via USB; powering up the PC will automatically activate the TV). As for the TVs themselves, all are LCD models that support 1080p native resolution and control of the iPod from the TV remote.The line includes five models ranging in screen sizes from 32 to 46 inches: the LT-32P300 (32-inch screen); LT-42P300 (42 inches); LT-46P300 (46 inches).If the idea of having your iTunes content on your TV is appealing, just remember that you can achieve the same result on any TV for under $250 by connecting something like a DLO HomeDock HD or an Apple TV.

iPhone 3G battery results- Music and video
iPhone 3G battery results: Music and video
Our CNET Labs team has unveiled their battery performance results for music and video playback on the iPhone 3G. We've completed talk time testing and we'll be doing another round of audio and video tests with 3G disabled--but at least we have another piece of the puzzle to add to our review. To give the test results some context, we also retested the first-generation iPhone, and simultaneously tested a comparable 3G multimedia phone, the Samsung Instinct. Apple's public tech specs claim the iPhone 3G is capable of up to 7 hours of video playback and 24 hours of music playback. Surprisingly, with 3G switched on the iPhone sailed past 24 hours of music playback, but tanked when it came to video. Further testing with 3G disabled may yet redeem Apple's claim of 7 hours of video playback. Enough talk--here's the numbers:Music playback battery drain Apple iPhone 3G (Wi-Fi off, 3G on): 25.5 hoursApple iPhone (Wi-Fi off, EDGE on): 31.4 hoursSamsung Instinct (3G on, Wi-Fi unavailable): 18.2 hoursVideo playback battery drain (same settings as audio)Apple iPhone 3G: 2.68 hoursApple iPhone: 5.99 hoursSamsung Instinct: 4.28 hoursFor good measure, we also threw in a data transfer test, which measures the time it takes to transfer a single 500Mb file to the phone from a PC. Files were transferred in iTunes 7.7 for both the iPhone 3G and first-generation iPhone, and Windows Media Player 11 for the Samsung Instinct.File transfer speed Apple iPhone 3G: 1.35 minutes Apple iPhone: 1.6 minutesSamsung Instinct: 7.71 minutes
