Foxconn, the manufacturer of all Apple products, is expected to manufacture 20 million iPad 2s in Q3.
This report, which originally surfaced from DigiTimes, comes after Foxconn released their financial earnings for the first half of the year. Their earnings were a whopping NT$27.38 billion, or about $945.93 million in US dollars...
Apple has launched another new ad to show off its iPad 2, with the theme this time around being learning.
Running just 31 seconds long, the new commercial runs through a variety of apps, with the common theme being that we can all learn something new, whether it be a new language, a new skill, or even mastering a skill we didn't know we had...
It seems the trend of discounted tablets isn't over yet. Word on the street is that HP is gearing up for another production run of its TouchPad slate, and even Amazon sounds like it wants to get in on the action.
But if the obsolete tablet or the rumored beefed-up Kindle haven't peaked your interest, you might be happy to hear that Apple's online store is now offering refurbished iPad 2s at a decent discount...
Every so often a story comes along that requires a second read. This story took three or four.
If we're fully understanding this, and we fear we might be, the council of one UK town is set to spend £9000 ($14,680) on iPads. iPads for what you ask?
iPads for garbage trucks. Yeah, really...
Elgato, the company well known for making TV tuners and the like for the Mac, is set to release an iPad accessory that will effectively turn an iPad 2 into a freeview television.
Aimed squarely at the European market, Elgato's tuner will come complete with a telescopic aerial and will receive the DVB-T frequencies. A companion app will also be available in the App Store, which promises the ability to record live television using the dock connector tuner accessory...
So I was messing around with Ryan Petrich's VoiceKeys tweak a while ago, and stumbled upon a revelation: The tweak's proximity sensor feature, coupled with my BookBook case makes for an almost iPad 2 imitating Smart Cover feature for the iPhone.
In a nutshell, I decided it would only be right to record the functionality that I inadvertently stumbled upon, with the hopes of coercing someone in the jailbreak community to take this project head on.
What we need, is jailbreak tweak that allows one to activate the proximity sensor anywhere, in any app, not just in the Phone app (or in this case, the Messages app). Check inside for a video demonstration of the iPhone Smart Cover concept in action, along with a call to arms to any jailbreak developer who wishes to take this project on...
Apple's iPad is starting to pop up in all kinds of places, from American Football clubs, to schools. Now, iPads are beginning to infiltrate schools in the UK.
According to The Telegraph, Longfield Academy in Kent is offering pupils the chance to use iPads during the coming school year, beginning in September. The move will see pupils using iPads as interactive learning tools, with tech support provided by the school itself...
Filed firmly in the 'great idea, poorly implemented' category, this Smart Cover addition provides a battery backup and protective cover for iPad 2 owners.
For those living under a rock, or perhaps beneath one of the Android-powered monstrosities entering the market these days, a Smart Cover is Apple's magnetic iPad cover. Offering protection for the iPad's screen while supposedly cleaning it at the same time, the Smart Cover is something all iPad owners should own. It's great, but a battery pack would make it better...
A new report from the New York Post claims that Apple is about to gain a new competitor in the tablet market, with online book store and music giant Amazon set to enter the fray with its own set of tablet devices.
Powered by Google's Android mobile operating system, Amazon's tablets are believed to be set to cost 'hundreds less' than the iPad's base $499 price tag. That pretty much confirms a $299 Amazon tablet...
RIM is set to finally put the finishing touches to its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet – four months after they released it.
Launched as a not-quite-iPad competitor, the PlayBook is a 7" tablet running the Canadian firm's new QNX operating system. QNX is, in fact, so new that it didn't have an email client at launch. Or RIM's unique selling point, BBM. That could all be about to change, as RIM begins to finally fix some, if not all, of the PlayBook's issues...
iPads find their way into all kinds of places, and they're going to be an integral part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' kit when the season begins. The team and its staff got sick of carrying around the old fashioned Yellow Pages-like playbooks of yesteryear. What could they replace them with? Well, iPad 2s of course!
Now, the 90-strong team will each receive an iPad 2 for referencing plays and NFL video archives...
