Along with its products, Apple is well known for its trendy accessories. With the original iPad, there were the foldable iPad cases. And with the iPhone 4, there were bumpers. Now, with the iPad 2, we have Smart Covers.
The Cupertino company seemingly hit a home run with its magnetic snap-on covers for its latest tablet. But 9to5Mac is reporting that the accessory that was designed to protect the iPad 2 might also be harming it as well...
Last week we broke the news that jailbreak hacker iH8sn0w was actively working on bringing Siri to iDevices like the 4G iPod touch and iPhone 4. This got a lot of people excited at the possibility of getting access to Siri's artificial intelligence without having to upgrade to the iPhone 4S.
This morning, the Dev Team's MuscleNerd sent out a tweet saying that porting Siri to the iPhone 4 or any other iDevice would most likely require piracy, something that the Dev Team has always refused to do...

When you are talking about slim, modern day tablets, the iPad was the first to market. Before Apple's slate, the "tablet" category was filled with clunky devices that ran desktop software and carried price tags over $1,000.
Obviously, being first has paid off for the company in dividends. I don't think anyone would argue that the iPad has dominated the tablet market over the last two years, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon...
Are things not looking so bright for Apple? A report by JP Morgan this morning claims that the company has been cutting iPad orders from vendors. Several of those supply-chain vendors indicated that Apple cut iPad orders for the 4th quarter of 2011 by 25%.
This cut could translate in a drop from 17 million to 13 million iPads, something unheard of so far with Apple. Why such drastic measures?
I consider myself to be fairly savvy when it comes to iPad accessories and peripherals, especially so when it comes to stands and cases.
I've had stands that have acted as cases, cases that have acted as stands, portable stands, stationary stands, and more. In other words, I've see a lot of good, and I've seen a lot of bad.
The UpStand from Just Mobile, is fortunately, one of the good stands to add on the list; dare I say it's even great? Check out my full video review of this beautiful iPad stand after the break...

The Loop points to some interesting findings in a recent report by Interpret, a marketing research firm. The work explores the iPad's popularity among both traditional and non-traditional gamers in the United States.
We've known for awhile now that Apple's iOS platform was making the gaming industry nervous, but I don't think we knew how much. Interpret is reporting that the iPad's gaming base has grown to over 8 million in the US alone...
P0sixninja and iOPK took that stage at MyGreatFest earlier today to talk about the Chronic Dev Team and jailbreaking. Chronic Dev frontman Joshua Hill (p0sixninja) had some important announcements to make, including the news that the team has found a record breaking 5 new exploits for an iPhone 5 and iPad 2 jailbreak.
The Chronic Dev Team is ready to jailbreak the iPhone 5 with the new exploits that have been discovered, and the exploits already work on the iPad 2...
What ever happened to those rumors that claimed Apple would be releasing an iPad 3 (or iPad HD/Pro) this year? For a while there, pundits were claiming that the company was going to unveil a new tablet this Fall, alongside the iPhone 5.
But as with most tech gossip, the new iPad theory eventually lost traction. And then out of no where, TiPb kickstarted the debate again this morning by reporting that Target has been marking the iPad 2 as end of life...
The iPad's attempt to single-handedly revolutionise, well, everything, took another step to completion after Australia's crown jewel airline, Qantas, announced that it will use iPads as in-flight entertainment systems.
Beginning in October, according to The Register, selected Qantas flights will sport the tablets as entertainment for passengers, with movies and television shows and music pre-loaded by the airline...
