From the latest news to the most comprehensive tutorials, learn how to get the most out of your iPad with our step-by-step guides and expert tips.
If there's one thing that's guaranteed about an Apple hardware release these days, it's that all of us are going to wonder just what innards are hidden beneath that oh-so-gorgeous exterior.
The new iPad is no different, and while the rumors suggest that the new tablet will sport a considerable chunk of RAM, 1GB to be exact, it's not likely that Apple will be sharing the fact any time soon.
In fact, we doubt they'll ever share the iPad's amount of RAM with us mere mortals...
Among the slew of new features Apple announced in its latest iPad yesterday was the personal hotspot. Just like with the iPhone, you'll be able to use the new tablet to share an internet connection with up to 5 devices.
This becomes even more appealing when you consider that the new slate is capable of 4G speeds — which is up to 10 times faster than 3G. But don't get too excited. It appears that there is confusion among the carriers...
If you're anything like us, and if you're reading this you probably are, then you're the kind of person who likes to kick back with a coffee and enjoy a good Apple event in all its glory. That means on a big-screen TV, not hunched over a MacBook screen.
Now you can see the announcement of the iPad 3, sorry, new iPad, on a screen large enough to do it justice, with Apple now making the event available to download via iTunes.
That also means, dear friends, that you can also check the event out on your Apple TV. Like we did. Twice...
We've heard so many sad stories in the past about ones who accidentally lost their jailbreak, or thought they could go back to a previous firmware when they couldn't.
As jailbreak aficionados that truly saddens us. Hence, whenever we can help get out a warning, we're all about it.
The iPhone Dev Team, the folks responsible for tools like RedSn0w, PwnageTool and more, have sounded a loud warning about the iOS 5.1 firmware, and its implications on jailbreaking.
If you're at all concerned with jailbreaking, we highly recommend you listen up...

Don't have time to go through the 2 hour video of the new iPad announcement? We've got you covered. Here is today's event in 90 seconds...
The new iPad features a new camera system from Apple, who detailed the new camera at its media event that took place today. The iPad features a 5-megapixel camera, which includes advanced optics, auto-focus, and white balance. The upgraded iSight camera also features 1080p video recording.
While we're going to have to wait until March 16th to take our own photos with the iPad's camera, Apple has posted sample photos (and video) taken with the new iPad on its website. And of course, the photos look stunning...

Well, the fireworks are over, but the fun stuff is just beginning. Like always, Apple has posted the very first TV spot for their new product on their website, and it promotes the iPad's most compelling new feature.
Indeed, the Retina display plays front man in Apple's new TV spot, as it should; it looks stunning. I think they did a really good job of showing off how incredible the display looks.
iPad HD, iPad 3. Those were a couple names the tech world speculated about before today's announcement. All of them were wrong as we quickly realized when Tim Cook unveiled "the new iPad" earlier today.
But why is the new iPad simply called iPad? Couldn't they call it the iPad 3 as good common sense suggested?

This was developed exclusively for the new iPad Retina display. Looks good, don't you think?
Apple's iPad event ended three hours ago, and things are just now starting to quiet down. As most of you know, today was a big day for the Cupertino company, who made a number of big announcements.
Apple introduced two new major products, along with some new software, and dropped some interesting info. And for those of you who had trouble keeping up with everything, we've created a nice little roundup...
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...
While we've already heard about Apple's new iPad and Apple TV, a few more things are trickling out after the event that just wrapped up in California. Along with iOS 5.1 and the new iPhoto for iPad, Apple will also launch iTunes 10.6 this afternoon.
There's no word on new features, but it will of course feature support for iOS 5.1...
