11 Fearless Forecast for the iPad

1. By the end of the year, the iPad which now costs $500 will drop to half the price. Steve Jobs goals is not only to earn and recoup his investment but to share, especially to people in the 3rd world countries.
2. It will have a  new feature that let's you watch TV live.The soon to be released version with the TV will be in 3D.
3. The current iPad lets you download and read ibooks. Afterwhich, a screen will display your whole library. The future model allows other ebooks to be freely downloaded and read in the net.
4. Newspapers will be outmoded. Most companies will connect with Apple. Daily news can be downloaded and sold at the usual price. Less waste, less carbon footprint.
5. If iPad is sold for its release price of $500, it will come with a free iPhone.

6. iPad will now act like your virtual personal assistant. It will not only display Day, Week, Month or List views of your calendar enabling you to see an  overview of a whole month, or the details of a single day. It will not only present your contacts and their numbers with ease. It has a new view that allows youto  see both complete contact list, and a single contact, simultaneously. But it will function like a true blue secretary, it will inform you of the tasks for the day, your meetings ahead with well modulated voice. You can even choose whether it will talk in a soothing feminine voice or a firm, masculine tone.
7.The current device lets you see maps with high-resolution Satellite and Street View images. You may even see topography with the new Terrain view. You can also search for a nearby resto and then tap on that business to see the easiest route and exact directions from your current location. The newer generation will have the old features plus an automatic program which can be attached to your computerized car allowing you to drive while you sleep. You will get to your destination safely and in no time.

8. Like an iPod, you can browse by album, song, artist, or genre, with a simple flick. To play a song, just tap it, and the now playing screen will show the album art at full size. You can listen to your music with either the powerful built-in speaker, or with wired or Bluetooth wireless headphones. But the newer version will offer so much more. It will not only play Beyonce or Madonna but will flash them singing and gyrating to the beat via a hologram. You will literally have Michael Buble or Celine Dion on the palm of your hand. 
9.The present iPad comes with  large, high-resolution screen makes it perfect for watching  movies and TV shows, to podcasts, you tube to  music videos. You can also easily move between wide-screen and full-screen with a double-tap. But these if these won't be enough for you, you can choose to go to projector mode in the future version. By just choosing projector, your movie will be flashed on any flat surface and you can enjoy it with a popcorn, just like in theaters. There will be no need of bulky projectors because the future iPad version comes with a handy one.
 10. In the current device, you can read emails in landscape and portrait view. In the former, you get a split-screen view, showing an opened email and the messages in the Inbox. To see only the opened email, just turn iPad to portrait, and the email automatically rotates and fills the scree. With both orientation, you can scroll throughthe mail, compose a new email using on-screen keyboard, or delete messages, with just a tap and a flick. If someone emails you a photo, you can see it right in the message. Photos in an email can be saved directly to the built-in Photos app. But with the about- to- be created version. Emails will read out loud by the iPad just like any messaging machine. You can chose to reply using the onscreen keyboard or if your doing kitchen chores or taking a bath by dictation.
11.The new Photos app in the iPad displays the photos in an album as though they were in a stack. Then you can flip through your pictures, zoom in or out, or watch a slideshow with just a tap or a pinch. It can be used as a beautiful digital photo frame while your iPad is docked or charging. But the better version will come with a 5 megapixel camera. Now, you can actually take pictures and videos with it.



Now, the 11 possible futures for the iPad is presented. Let's see which of them will first come true. I'm sure Steve is working on a newer version or better yet, the ultimate version now.
