New Ipad boosts Apple appeal Shares in the computer giant Apple hit a record high after the latest version of their tablet went on sale and proved to be hot property. Pavements outside retailers throughout the world were jammed with thousands of fans - some of whom had queued for days - even though the third generation iPad has only a few new features compared to the last. Even so, some analysts believe this latest incarnation will outsell the iPad 2, which the company is keeping on the market but at a greatly reduced price. The new device boasts a better screen, camera and some high-profile enthusiasts. The CEO of Hugo Boss, Claus-Dieter Lahrs said: "The lines in front of the Apple stores are pretty long so I will wait." British Labour Minister Chris Grayling added: "I'll probably get one in April or May. I've got an iPad 1 but I'm probably going to trade up this time. Apple have led the tablet market since starting it in 2010 despite tough global selling conditions. Since then, the company has sold 55-million. The research firm Gartner expects global tablet sales to reach 326-million by 2015, with Apple largely maintaining its dominance.
