If you're not worried about your jailbreak, we're assuming you've already installed the iOS 5.1 update that was just released this afternoon. iOS 5.1 adds some great features like Siri support for Japanese users, a new camera app for iPad, and a new camera shortcut.
The new update also adds a 4G indicator to the AT&T version of the iPhone 4S. While it doesn't truly support 4G, AT&T can call the iPhone 4S a 4G device because it supports HSPA+ networks up to 16 megabits per second...
Apple's online store is slowly creeping back online, and as we go to purchase the new iPad, AT&T and Verizon's LTE data plans for the LTE iPad have been revealed. Nothing has changed from the old 3G data options. Both carriers are still offering similar pricing, but have different options available.
AT&T is offering the lowest amount of data, offering only 250MB per month for $14.99, while Verizon offers the highest of 10GB per month for $80...
One week folks, that's all the waiting you'll have to do before getting your hands on the new iPad.
You can pre-order the new iPad starting today, with availability on March 16th — the same day as the new Apple TV.
Thankfully, the prices for the devices have remained the same as the current generation iPads, with Wi-Fi only flavors going for $499, $599, and $699 for 16, 32, and 64GB respectively. LTE models will go for $629, $729, and $829 for the same amount of storage space.
As with the current generation, there will be both black and white versions, with separate LTE models for both Verizon and AT&T...
The rumors were true. The new iPad will come equipped with a 4G LTE option for speeds much faster than current 3G speeds.
Even better is the fact that almost everyone in the United States will be able to benefit, because LTE is for both Verizon and AT&T, just as we expected.
But folks in other countries won't be left out. Verizon, Rogers, Bell, Telus and AT&T are all featured LTE partners.

Apple is expected to unveil its iPad 3 tomorrow. Finally, we'll get to see the tablet that the company has been working on for the past year. And perhaps best of all, we'll finally get to put these silly iPad 3 rumors to rest.
But for now, they're still fair game. And the latest report comes from Reuters. The publication is throwing its hat in with a list of other credible sources in claims that Apple's new tablet will feature 4G LTE technology...
One of the big questions about Wednesday's iPad 3 announcement isn't really the Retina display, which now is almost a given, but rather if it will support LTE or not.

The news outlet says that its source has also confirmed several of the slate's new features, including a quad-core processor, LTE 4G technology, Siri, and a high resolution [Retina] display...
Opponents of the rumored LTE-flavored iPad have argued that Apple will avoid the 4G technology again this year since it's still not widely available. Why would the company complicate its manufacturing process with multiple 3G/4G models?
But what they don't understand is that chips already exist that work with both LTE and 3G networks. Case in point, Qualcomm unveiled a new all-in-one chip today that could very well be what Apple is using in the upcoming iPad...
Right, I'm going to come right out and say this before I go any further: I'm going to get a lot of stick for this, and the rest of the iDB team thinks that I've lost my mind, but I'm going to write this anyway. I don't think the iPad or iPhone is going to get an LTE radio. At least, not yet.
Now I know this flies in the face of what we are being told by just about everyone, including a very recent article by the Wall Street Journal. The general consensus is that Apple will indeed bring an iPad 3 to market during the coming weeks, and that said iPad 3 will be the first Apple device to come packed with an LTE radio for hooking up to super-fast 4G networks.
I, however, think you're all wrong. Here's why...
