Despite rumors having run rampant last week that Best Buy could possibly have been in the doghouse in regard to their iPad 2 sales strategy, the major retailer confirmed in a statement that such was not the case. What is instead transpiring is that Best Buy is actually fulfilling customer reservations first.

iPad 2: Which One is Right For You?

Posted 04/08/2011 at 3:30pm | by Ray Aguilera

Comment

The iPad 2 comes in an astounding 18 different configurations. But choosing the right model isn’t quite as hard as it sounds. Black vs. white? That comes down to aesthetics. Picking a 3G provider depends mostly on which one has the best service near you -- or if you need 3G connectivity at all. So the real question is, how do you choose the right capacity?

The A5 Processor: Double the Cores, Double the Fun

Posted 04/07/2011 at 11:00am | by Loyd Case

1

Comment

Apple bills the new A5 processor as “it’s fast, times two,” but at the same time, it suggests that the graphics are “up to 9x faster.” Those two very different claims aren’t contradictory. The A5 is a system-on-chip (SoC), so includes both the CPU, the GPU (graphics processor), and even embedded memory. The A5 is most likely a multi-chip module, combining several different semiconductor parts into a single package. Several sources have suggested that, in addition to the GPU and CPU cores, the A5 incorporates 512MB of fast DDR2 memory running at 1066MHz. If so, that’s double the RAM in the current iPad.

GarageBand for iPad Review

Posted 04/07/2011 at 10:16am | by Nic Vargus

Comments

How does the GarageBand that we know and love work on the iPad? Simple. It doesn’t. Instead of futilely attempting to replicate the experience of the Mac version, GarageBand for iPad plays to its touchscreen strengths and ultimately feels more accessible and less demanding. Is it stripped down? Definitely. Dumbed down? Anything but. Make no mistake -- GarageBand for iPad is not an inferior wannabe version.

iPad 2 Little known fact: The iPad 2 is selling well. Like, really well. Just how well, you ask? According to Digitimes, Apple shipped 2.4-2.6 million iPads in March, and according to a conservative source those numbers are set to almost double during the second quarter.

The Story Behind the iPad 2 Magnets

Posted 04/06/2011 at 2:30pm | by Florence Ion

1

Comment

Apple's Smart Cover case for the iPad 2 is unlike any case we've ever seen. Rather than gripping around the iPad 2’s svelte figure to keep the tablet device safe from scuffs and falls, there are magnets that fasten the case to the iPad’s chassis, which makes it feel like you’re carrying a soft-cover book. The true harmony between the tablet device and its multifunction outfitting is a definite step in a new direction for cases. It’s no longer about a piece of material keeping your product protected, but rather how it can interact with the device to perform more than one simple task. And if more case manufacturers follow in the way of the iPad 2, a simple folio may no longer cut it.

Everything You Need To Know About Apple's iPad 2 Accessories

Apple’s Digital AV Adapter provides video output from your iPad 2 in 1080p—although movies still play at 720p. But it works with any app, mirroring the display to your TV, projector, or other HDMI device. (Bring your own HDMI cable, of course.) It’s even got a 30-pin dock port so you can charge or sync your iPad while it’s connected to the TV. Bonus: it works with the first iPad (running iOS 4.3), the iPhone 4, and the fourth-gen iPod touch, although those devices all top out at 720p output. It delivers audio too! With this $39 dongle, you can “sneakernet” videos from your Mac to your TV via the iPad, instead of needing a $99 Apple TV. Smart.
