SAN FRANCISCO - Apple Inc took the wraps off a faster 4G-equipped iPad on Wednesday,hoping the latest version of its tablet can safeguard its dominance as rivals from Amazon to Samsung pile into the market.
CEO Tim Cook, presiding over his biggest product launch since 2011's voice-enabled iPhone4S, introduced the highly anticipated third iteration of the tablet, which commands upwards o ftwo-thirds of the growing market.
The newest iPad will be capable of operating on a high-speed 4G "LTE" or Long-Term Evolution network. At speeds roughly 10 times faster than current 3G technology, that may help banishthe sometimes shaky video quality of older devices.
Apple is betting a 4G-equipped iPad will tempt more US consumers to pay extra for higher-quality video on the go. That, in turn, should give Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc a revenue boost, analysts say.
