We had already informed you earlier about the availability of iPad on 30th April for those of you who have already placed an order for the 3G version. A reader today sent an email to Steve Jobs asking about the availability of iPad 3G at Best Buy stores on the launch day. Jobs reply was as usual quick and short: “Yep”.
The physical keyboard of the iPad Keyboard Dock is for sure much faster and more comfortable for creating long documents than the onscreen virtual one. The biggest problem with both the iPad Keyboard Dock, and the regular Dock is that it is designed in a way that forces you to attach the iPad in portrait mode.
Wi-Fi Sync is an upcoming app for the iPhone which lets you sync your iPhone or iPod touch (and possibly iPad too) with iTunes over a Wi-Fi network like Zune. The concept of the app is great! Check out the video after the break.
I have just been tipped off on twitter about Limera1n.com – a domain which has been registered by the infamous iPhone hacker named George Hotz (aka geohot). The domain whois record for both blackra1n and limera1n shares same record and confirms that it has been registered by geohot on March 27. Whois record also reveals that it was last updated on April 13, almost effectively the same date when geohot successfully jailbroke iPhone OS 4 which makes it even more authentic. Though there is no confirmation about this by geohot himself.
Most of you must have heard about the thunderst0rm team who claims to have got an exploit+solution to jailbreak and unlock all device (iPhone, iPod and iPad) on iPhone 3.1.3 with 05.12.01 baseband. Today, they have posted a new video which shows the final test build in action. According to them, if everything goes fine, they will release the program Tomorrow.
Due to its large screen size and space, iPad is extremely comfortable to work with in most cases. However, there are times when you feel awkward holding it from one hand, and typing from another in the landscape mode. Your one hand here becomes nothing more than a dock, whereas the other one remains hanging in air - used only for on-screen typing. Not so cool right?.
According to a recent report from Digitimes, Apple has started developing the next-generation iPad and that it will be using OLED screen technology for the display panels. The panels used are said to be same as the ones used in next-gen iPhone 4G. Apple is planning for a 2011 launch date, which shouldn't be too surprising considering all major Apple products like iPhones, iPods and Macs have a one-year release cycle.
Good news for those of you who were waiting for the 3G model of iPad. Apple has updated its online store to add shipping date for iPad 3G. Yes, they are going to ship it in US on May 7.
Believe it or not! You can get a Sprint 4G iPad case with Overdrive and your iPad will be 10 times faster than it is right now. After the iPhone 4G commercial (with Sprint Overdrive) last month, this is yet another very well executed ad for Overdrive by Sprint for introducing their 4G Case for iPad.
Similar to the ones found by BGR last month, the iPhone hacker named iH8sn0w has found more references to next-gen iPhone, iPad and iPod touch in iPhone OS 4 Beta which was released last week. So are we in for something exciting coming up from Apple in the near future? Well only time will tell, for now, check out this screenshot below.
