Apple released their latest tablet, iPad 3

The new iPad, iPad 3^rd Generation or simply called by many as iPad 3 was the latest tablet released by Apple, Inc. which was manufactured by Foxconn. The iPad 3 boast its retina display which is supported by Apple’s new A5X chip with quad-core graphics processor. It also upgraded the camera to 5 megapixel with full HD 1080p video recording compared from its predecessor, iPad 2 which only have 0.7 megapixel.  The iPad 3’s connectivity supports 4G (LTE) capabilities.

It was initially release to ten countries last March 16, 2012 which garnered positive reviews with its improved specs and performance from Apple’s last generation of tablet.  In just the first three days of Apple’s release of the iPad 3, it already sold for over 3 million units. 

Right now, websites that are offering online shopping in the Philippines are jumping on the “were selling the new iPad 3” bandwagon. It can’t be helped since the moment it got released in the Philippines, iPad 3 already internet trend.  From a business standpoint, it’s a shame not to actually take advantage of  the iPad 3 buzz.

Personally, if you ask me the iPad 3 definitely is the latest most powerful tablet that Apple has released yet. I just don’t like the fact that Apple didn’t upgrade its physical look from the last generation, iPad 2. Any person wouldn’t recognize the difference between the iPad 2 and iPad 3 when they see it. But seeing how Apple does it with their computer products, I don’t see them changing this trend were 2-3 generations of an iDevice will look similar physically before they actually upgrade the look. Despite this, Apple still manages to keep Apple products enthusiast to keep anticipating and supporting whatever new iDevice that Apple rolls out so far.

Benefits of Consumers shifting from Traditional Offline Shopping to Online Shopping

Online shopping had made a big splash for both business and consumer side. What’s great about shopping online is that it’s more convenient and most cases cheaper than when you buy them at our local offline stores.

The key component for the convenience of online shopping  to customers is because they are given the option to shop from wherever and whenever they wish to do so. Online shopping malls truly helped consumers to avoid hopping from different stores just to get the best price for a specific product they want to buy. With online shopping, all they need to do is grab a computer with internet connection and visit different e-commerce websites.

The shift from shopping offline to shopping online also meant for consumers to actually have an overview about a product before actually purchasing an item through online reviews. This can reduce disappointed consumers for a product they just bought only to realize the cons of the purchased item later on. Fortunately, online shopping websites are encouraging their customers to actually post reviews on their actual product webpages. This way, new customers can be sure of what they will be getting based from previous actual buyers.

The Convenience of Online Shopping

In this modern era, technology has become part of our culture in the society. As the scope of technology widen, so as our lifestyle like shopping thru online. Prior to the explosion of the internet, when we need something like home appliances, we usually go to an appliance store at the local malls. Good thing for our generation we can actually purchase just about anything in the comforts of our own home.   

Today, shopping can now be done online! All you need is an internet connection and a computer. We can always opt for a computer-for-rent shop if you don’t have your own computer at home. So there’s no reason for anyone not to actually experience online shopping. What’s great about online over offline shopping? 

Online shopping can offer you products that are not available in our country. Plus, given that offline stores usually pays rent on their store location, products they sell are usually higher, plus tax. With online, it’s just tax plus to some online shopping malls they offer free delivery right to your home.  If you ask me, I prefer online shopping rather than offline shopping. the question now is, which do you prefer?
