iPad 2 'to launch next month'
The iPad 2 is to be released next month, according to a report, for IT contractors and other professionals who could find the device useful.
Dan Grabham, deputy editor of TechRadar.com predicted that the device will set a benchmark for other such technology for the rest of 2011.
He added that there is still room for more competition in the market, with the Blackberry Playbook and the Motorola Xoom both set to make a splash.
"I don't necessarily think they will topple the iPad in terms of numbers, but they could certainly all have a share of the market. There's still plenty of room for other players - Apple have had it good so far," he added.
This comes after IDC's latest worldwide quarterly found that the e-reader market grew by 40 per cent in the third quarter of 2010 on the second quarter.
In addition, media reader shipments increased by 45.1 per cent during the quarter, with the iPad accounting for almost 90 per cent of the market.
