We're undoubtedly nearing the announcement of whatever Apple has up its sleeve for the next generation iPad, and now new claims suggest we're just a few short weeks away from the big day.
John Paczkowski of AllThingsD now believes that Apple will hold a press event first week in March, with the iPad 3/iPad 2S/iPad Super Epic Edition being made available for purchase soon after. If the iPad 2 release is any kind of indicator, we wouldn't expect to have to wait any longer than two weeks from the announcement before queuing up to buy one.
As is always the case, Apple refused to comment on the speculation, though it is an open secret that the next generation iPad is very much on the horizon...
The ability to split up the iPad's keyboard is one of my favorite lesser-known features in iOS. I don't use it all the time. But it really comes in handy when I need to rattle off an email or conjure up other large bodies of text.
Apple obviously put a lot of thought into getting the split keyboard just the right size for its tablet, and it shows. In fact, there are even some elements of the keyboard that you can't see. Did you know there are hidden keys on the iPad split keyboard?
Springtomize 2 — the ridiculously in-depth Springboard tweak package — was updated today to include native iPad support among other things.

New figures released today by Research firm Strategy Analytics suggest that Apple's iPad is still very much the top tablet for most, with Android's share growing thanks to a newcomer to the scene.
Releasing figures based on worldwide shipments of tablets during the fourth quarter of 2011, Strategy Analytics shared that 26.8 million tablets were shipped during the quarter, a 150% increase over the same period the year prior.
Apple's iPad saw 15.4 million units shipped during the fourth quarter of 2011, with Android sitting second with 10.5 million shipments...
After missing expectations during the third quarter last year, all eyes were on Apple in 2011's Q4. Tim Cook and company made seemingly impossible projections for the three month period, and everyone has been watching to see if Apple could deliver.
Well the results are in today, and not only did Apple meet its own lofty expectations, but it blew every metric out of the water. For example, it predicted it would sell 30 million iPhones. And it actually sold 37 million. Keep reading for the full report...
On Friday, the first ever iPhone 4S-compatible jailbreaking utility, Absinthe, was released to the public. And although it bears the Chronic Dev Team's moniker, a lot of folks contributed to the app's development including pod2g, Saurik, MuscleNerd, and others.
Recent Cydia data shows that more than 1 million people jailbroke their A5 devices over the weekend, thanks to the work of the above-mentioned hackers. Can you imagine if they would have charged $1 to download and use their software? They'd all be rich!

Earlier today, we told you that the Chronic Dev Team was reporting that Absinthe, the first iPhone 4S-compatible jailbreaking utility, was downloaded more than 1 million times last Friday. That's huge.
And the Dev Team seems to back up that theory with a new blog post entitled "Welcome new A5 jailbreakers!" The post breaks down how many people installed Cydia over the weekend, and on what devices...
