iOS 4.3 GM Can Be Jailbroken with PwnageTool 4.2 [Tethered]

Alex Heath ∙ March 4, 2011

We have released a detailed tutorial on how to jailbreak the GM developer build of iOS 4.3. Yesterday, Apple seeded the final developer build of iOS 4.3, and the public release of 4.3 will take place on March 11th.

People are wondering if Apple has patched the current jailbreak exploits in their latest version of iOS. Because the iPad 2 runs on different hardware, it will almost definitely need a new exploit for an untethered jailbreak. As far as the iPhone and iPod goes, we'll keep you updated...

Sébastien Page ∙ March 4, 2011

This was bound to happen. The folks that brought us the banned iPhone 4 promo video and the banned iPad promo video did it again, this time with the iPad 2. As usual it's just pure fun and mockery. I don't get tired of these videos for some reason. You?

Alex Heath ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Apple recently unveiled the iPad 2. Among other enhancements, Apple announced that the iPad 2 will be able to perform HD video mirroring through Apple's new HDMI adapter.

The adapter plugs into the device's 30-pin connector and automatically mirrors the iPad 2's screen to an external source in 1080p HD. Setup requires no configuration and works instantly when connected.

What Apple didn't say in yesterday's event was that their new Digital AV Adapter will also work on the iPhone 4, 4th gen iPod Touch, and original iPad.

Bought an iPad Within the Last 2 Weeks? Apple Will Refund You $100

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated November 12, 2019

If you're disappointed you recently bought an iPad and just realized that not only the new iPad 2 is coming out next week, but the first gen iPad also got a $100 price drop, then there is hope for you. According to Electric Pig, Apple will refund the $100 difference if you have your receipt and if you bought your iPad within the last 14 days.

Even better, and from personal experience, if you bought your iPad within the last couple days, you can return it to Apple once the iPad 2 is out and switch to the newer model. I did that with my iMac a few months ago when the new one came out while I had bought mine just days before.

When did you buy your iPad? Are you eligible for a refund or even an upgrade?

This is the New iPad 2

Sébastien Page ∙ March 2, 2011

After months of speculations and rumors, Apple finally unveiled the iPad 2 today. Almost surprisingly, Steve Jobs was here to lead the presentation. As usual the event started with some big numbers: 100,000,000 iPhones in the world, 15,000,000 iPads sold, representing a 90% market share which generated $9.5 billion in revenue for Apple.

Apple's message today was pretty clear, the iPad is not a tablet, it's a post-PC device. An indeed it is.

Here is a quick summary of everything worth noting about the iPad 2:

Steve Jobs was here to present the event iPad 2 gets an A5 chip iPad 2 new design iPad 2 to come in black or white iPad 2 keeps the same price iPad 2 available on March 11 Apple give the iPad 2 a new cover iPad 2 gets 2 cameras iPad 2 promo video

Apparently, you are not able to pre-order the iPad 2, which is kind of unusual. I sure hope Apple will let us do that prior to March 11 as I don't feel like standing in line for hours.
