If the evidence stacking up wasn't enough to convince you the new iPad will be available for sale on Friday, at 8am, maybe this official announcement from Apple will.
In a press release sent earlier today, Apple confirmed that the new iPad will be available in the US and nine additional countries, on Friday at 8am...
My go-to camera, Camera+, has been updated to version 3 today. Among the new features that were added, the most notable ones are:
Improved sharing (Twitter, Facebook, etc...) Multiple photo library import Focus & exposure locks Improved Lightbox UI VolumeSnap setting in menu Improved performanceThe app is currently on sale for only $0.99, so it might be the right time to buy it. For a full review of version 3, I suggest you read Frederico Viticci's review on MacStories.
And speaking of cameras, we have something really neat coming up on iDB for all the iPhoneography fans out there. That's all I can say for the time being.
In a blog post published today, T-Mobile CTO confirms what we already heard last month: the company is working hard on upgrading its network to fully support the iPhone:
A nice side benefit of the refarming effort is that our 4G network will be compatible with a broader range of devices, including the iPhone. The other important benefit of our network modernization effort is the coverage improvements it will deliver, especially when it comes to in-home coverage.
It would sure be a welcome gesture for the one million T-Mobile customers who currently have to use their iPhone at 2G speeds.
As expected, the new iPad will be available for sale at your local Apple Store this Friday, at 8am. The confirmation comes from 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman who managed to get a photo of one of the marketing materials that will be hanging on the windows of Apple Stores around the country this Friday.
If the date doesn't come as a surprise – it was officially announced by Apple last week – the time was kind of an X factor until now...
Tinhte, the Vietnamese tech blog who got its hands of the new iPad and released the first unboxing video earlier today, put Apple's new tablet to the test and posted the Geekbench benchmarks of the device.
The results confirm earlier reports that the new iPad would sport 1GB of RAM, double that of the iPad 2. The benchmark also reveals that the new iPad has the same 1GHz CPU which can be found in the A5 chip...

I'm really, really not a fan of Conan but I have to say his latest spoof ad for the new iPad Retina display is quite funny, and pretty much spot on.
Ever since iOS 5.1 was released last week, we started looking for new features that would have been quietly added to the iPhone or iPad. Two major ones were quickly found, both related to the data settings of your iPhone.
The first one unofficially turns your AT&T iPhone 4S into a 4G device, and the second one brings back the 3G toggle in the settings of your iPhone, assuming you are not using AT&T.
And now, a subtle new feature has surfaced to...
AT&T is still lagging behind Verizon when it comes to 4G LTE coverage – the real 4G – but it's coming to 12 more markets:
AT&T plans to roll out 4G LTE soon in Naples, Fla.; Bloomington, Lafayette and Muncie, Ind.; Baton Rouge and New Orleans, La.; St. Louis, Mo; Akron, Canton and Cleveland, Ohio; Bryan-College Station, Texas; and Staten Island in New York City.
These launches are scheduled for April, May and into the early summer.

I've been trying to update my iPad over the air to iOS 5.1 ever since it was released this last Wednesday. Unfortunately, it kept throwing an error saying "Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred while checking for a software update."
At first, I assumed that Apple's servers were being slammed, but it's now been two days and I still couldn't update, constantly getting this "unable to check for update" error.
So I decided to plug my iPad in to update it the good old way, you know, using iTunes. But iTunes was not very cooperating either as it kept throwing this error: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could not be established."
After a bit of googling, I found the solution to my problem:
Yes, you guessed it even before reading the end of the title. According to Electronista:
Apple now has the top-selling cellphone of any kind in Japan, IDC Japan determined late Thursday. The iPhone 4S launch helped Apple claim 26.6 percent of all cellphone shipments in the country this fall. It may have been the first non-Japanese company to top local ranks, ending a longstanding emphasis on local makers.
