In the US, people with absolutely no need to go from the iPad 2 to the “new iPad” will still wait in line for hours to get their hands on the device that is improved in many ways but not enough to make it noticeable to most. The retina display is something that most will have to compare side-by-side with an iPad 2 to really see the difference. 4G LTE is a nice feature, but those of us on 3G are likely already getting the speed that we require. The better cameras, faster processor, and additional features all add up to make the new iPad a necessary buy for many who already have an original iPad, iPad 2, or no Apple…

While rumors of an iPad 3 coming out later this year bouncing between yes, no, maybe, and we don’t know, the latest rumor seems to make a little more sense. An HD variation of the current iPad 2 is being considered as “likely” with double the current resolution of 1024×768. The idea is that it would be available as either a pro version or one that would allow HD mobile apps. The folks over at TechFast match our own speculations. Would it be useful? Maybe. Would it sell? Obviously. …

Despite selling out quickly and showing no signs of slowing, Apple released an ad that is geared towards expanding the brand and bringing a human touch to the technology. Everything about the ad is psychologically intended to promote the device as a lifestyle-changing element of daily existence. It’s brilliant. Is it necessary? No. The iPad 2 will sell what the iPad 2 will sell, which will likely break records over time, depending on how long it takes to get to the iPad 3. Still, it’s good to see the company continuing to press its domination in the tablet segment by attempting to go beyond the tech-oriented…

Sometimes, processor speed isn’t everything. Sometimes you want something kitschy and slow, that moves at 8 or fewer frames per second. You know how hipsters listen to cassette tapes for no other reason than they suck more than MP3s? This is like that, but more iPad-y. Ukrainian artist Svetlana Shokhanova has done a bang-up job of recreating the iPad experience with nothing but plasticine and a cute, shuffly indie tune, and the result is something I honestly wish we could see without the aid of stop-motion technology. honestly, tactile screens can’t come fast enough….

We’re willing to bet you’ve never seen a tech toy meet its end with such beauty. Remember in Jet Li’s Hero, where everyone kind of pirouetted all pretty-like when they died? This is like that, but with, like, iPads and bullets and stuff….

What happens when you take an iPad 2, an iPad game, and a 50-inch HDTV and put them together? You get a mobile gaming experience that never looked so good. And when we say good, we mean really, really good! By utilizing the HDMI out potential with the iPad 2, a gamer is now enjoying the iPad 2 gaming experience on his 50-inch display. Not only that, but it looks so good. It’s all thanks in part to Infinity Blade, which is considered one of the best looking games on iOS. Considering the difficulties console makers and game developers have been experiencing lately, it must be even more disheartening for them…

I believe it was poet William Smith who once quipped ‘you can’t stop the bum rush’. Then, I believe, he invited us to the wild, wild west. The bum rush (a term the definition of which I have yet to truly divine) in question here is oft-noted iPhone hacker and developer Comex, who has (perhaps predictably) already jailbroken the iPad 2. You might remember Comex from such helpful jailbreaks as JailbreakMe and Spirit – then again, as figures so far suggest 70% of all iPad 2 buyers are first-timers, maybe you mightn’t. Anyway, no word on when the hack will be released into the wilds, but while you wait, here’s…

As the rush to get hands on the iPad 2 starts, there are still some who want to make a decision based upon reviews and opinions before jumping for another Apple product. While their track record has been exceptional, it hasn’t been perfect and there are definitely competitors who may or may not be better buys. The Motorola Xoom is one such competitor, one that many consider the only one around right now that could put a dent (even if only a minor one) in the iPad frenzy. Below, you will find several videos and links to reviews on other high-quality tech sites. If you want to make the smartest decision, take…

So, today the entire tech world was postively shocked to find out that the iPad 2… was exactly what we expected. About the only things we didn’t expect were HDMI and those slick, if generally unexciting, cases. Still. Given all that, the iPad 2 will be a huge success. The reasons for that are myriad: Apple’s design, ecosystem, marketing and technical prowess are all factors. But there’s another aspect that people forget about, and it’s crucial: owning an Apple product is simply easier than those from its competitors. A Different Cost of Ownership Often, when we think of the cost of owning a product,…

It’s pretty safe to say at this point that the white iPhone 4 will never see the light of day (the fact that the light of day is, in fact, the reason it hasn’t been released yet notwithstanding) Everyone who really wanted an iPhone 4 – even the stragglers clinging to hope of a white model – already has one. The white iPhone is a dead horse, and no one’s getting a ride. How would you like to relive the tale of the white Apple product all over again? You wouldn’t? Well, you’re SOL, because here it comes! Courtesy of 9to5 Mac comes this photograph of an alleged white iPad 2 front – meaning, of course, that come April,…
