New iPad available in Stores

The new, third- generation iPad , over-viewed in this Gadgetator article, will hit store shelves tomorrow, March 16th. If you need to have your hands on 1 as early as possible, waiting in line at an Apple store, as Mashable says, may perhaps not be the most choice. Apple stores will begin selling the new device at 8:00 AM, local time, though 24-hour Walmarts will start to hand out the device at 12:01 AM. Probably the most Buy at Union Square in New York City will also have the iPad at midnight. It looks exciting that Apple would permit retailers to begin to market the iPad prior to they themselves do, but it may perhaps just be one more noticeable difference in Apple during the write-up Steve Work era. Will you be waiting at a Walmart or Best Purchase at midnight for your latest iPad? Share your thoughts in the comments.

The New iPad

We've all been waiting for the next generation iPad. Rumors about it have been floating around basically since the launch of the iPad 2 , and now those rumors are all either confirmed or denied. Mostly confirmed. With the new iPad , Apple is really focusing on graphics and images. The new iPad sports a Retina display, Apple's proprietary term for a display that, when viewed at a normal distance, the pixels are not discernible. The Retina display is also found in the iPhone 4 and 4S, as well as the iPod touch 4th generation. Although the iPad has less pixels per inch (PPI) than the iPhone and iPod touch, it has a 2048x1536 resolution, making it a higher resolution than even an HDTV. The A5X Chip The graphics are also greatly improved, as the new iPad boasts the Apple A5X chip, a dual-core system-on-a-chip with quad-core graphics.

iPad 2 Jail broken 2 Days after Launch

Cydia running on a white iPad 2       The iPad 2 has only been out two days, but yet it has already been hacked. An iPhone developer and hacker called Comex has apparently been working on a jailbreak ever since he got his white iPad 2. According to his Twitter stream (@ comex ), the jailbreak could have been ready yesterday, but he had to search for a whole new exploit.       This jailbreak allows the user to run Cydia, an alternative app store, which also allows many more features, on his or her iPad. Engadget says that Comex is apparently hard at work getting this jailbreak out to the public and available as an easy process as soon as possible, so, iPad 2 owners, expect to be able to hack your new device very soon.

iPad 2 Announced

     The original iPad was, like Apple said, a magical and revolutionary device. It was the first majorly successful tablet PC, and started the 2011 "Tablet Rush".      At an event earlier today, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs announced the next generation of the iPad: the iPad 2. Steve Jobs was, or maybe still is, on medical leave. There had been reports that he had only six weeks to live, and pictures of him walking out of treatment very thin, so everybody was relieved when he walked on stage, looking just like he did a year ago.      The iPad 2 is thinner, lighter, and has a faster processor than it's predecessor. It comes in WiFi only and 3G models, both of which are 9.50 inches high, and 7.31 inches wide. They are also both only 0.34 inches thick, making it easier to hold than the original iPad. Also, the WiFi version weighs 1.33 pounds, with a the 3G  version weighing in at 0.1 pound heavier. Both the WiFi and 3G models come in 16, 32, and 64 gigabyte versions.
