Apple Pushing Developers Into “Crunch Mode” To Finish iPad 3 Apps

iPad 3 rumors keep coming. In just the last couple of days, we heard several about the next gen iPad featuring a larger battery, a redesigned Retina display which an Apple employee descibed as “truly amazing”. We have heard about the somehow disappointing rumor of the new tablet supporting a dual core processor instead of a quad core, and the latest was an expected early March release.

Today,a new report by TheNextWeb claims that Apple is pushing its key developers to finish the iPad 3 apps  so they can show them off whether at the iPad 3 launch or the following iPad 3 advertisments.Apple is known for hand-pickig apps to show off the hardware of a device during iPad presentation.

If you remember, Apple showed off its own Garage Band at the iPad 2 announcement and last year at the iPhone 4S announcement,Apple demoed a high graphics game” Infinity Blade2” to show off the graphic capabilities on the new iPhone 4S.

Usually, Apple;s pre-event weeks are busy picking apps and preparing apps demos for the big event and sources have it the selection process is at its highest now as the company finalizes it’s the lineup for the iPad 3. There is also emphasis on a high graphics apps display which line up with the Retina display rumors.

Sources also claim that some of the apps Apple is impressed with are forwarded to its advertising partner TWBA/Chiat/Day to include in the initial iPad 3 commercials.

Like we always say, these are still rumors. Nothing official yet.
