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.
Apple just released iTunes 10.2 which will be required to install iOS 4.3 which will be released next week. Not much has been added to this new version. iTunes 10.2 is needed to allow you to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 4.3.
iTunes 10.2 also brings improved Home Sharing. It will let you browse and play from your iTunes libraries with Home Sharing on any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 4.3...
Today, Apple announced the next generation of the iPad. The iPad 2 is the next stage in Apple's tablet evolution, and the device boasts a significant redesign from its predecessor.
There's a lot that's new about the iPad 2. It's thinner, lighter, and 2x faster than the original iPad. It also borrows elements from the iPhone 4, including dual cameras for FaceTime.
Let's take a closer look...
Following Verizon Wireless CEO, Dan Mead's remarks regarding the short lines on Verizon's iPhone 4 launch day, Mead also indicated that Apple will eventually offer mobile products that can use Verizon's Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G network.
This lines up perfectly with the speculation earlier this month that Apple was working on an LTE iPhone...
Apple recently introduced a new connection technology dubbed "Thunderbolt." In Apple's MacBook Pro refresh, the Thunderbolt port has been added as a new wired connection architecture that Apple hopes will unify its connection technologies.
The key feature for the Thunderbolt architecture is speed. Thunderbolt promises to be lighting fast (pardon the pun) and offer incredible speeds for data transfers. The need for Thunderbolt is evident for the desktop, but it's not a stretch to imagine that Thunderbolt could eventually make its way to iOS devices.
With Apple's iPad 2 event officially kicking off next week, the folks over at Engadget have been tipped additional details regarding the event.
According to Engadget, not only will Apple announce the iPad 2, it will also preview iOS 5 at the media event, which will be held Wednesday, March 2nd, at the famous Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco...
Apple will be holding a press event next week at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Fransisco. The event is supposed to be focused on the iPad 2.
There have been reports that Apple's iPad announcement would be delayed, but multiple sources (including Apple) have recently confirmed that Apple will in fact hold an event next Wednesday.
Not much information has been leaked about the approaching Apple event besides specs for the next version of the iPad. Apple might update iOS as well, but there is no hard evidence to support that claim.
In a surprising move, Apple has launched its App Store subscription service without a co-release of iOS 4.3. In-app subscriptions will allow content producers to easily deliver content with a reoccurring purchase model, instead of a one-time, à la carte purchase system.
It was assumed that Apple would introduce its subscription service during a press event, but apparently a press release on Apple's website was all the announcement deserved.
Rupert Murdoch's "The Daily" news app was the first official peek at what Apple's subscription service would look like, but The Daily has been offered for free since its release. At the end of this month, The Daily will begin its paid subscriptions with Apple's new infrastructure...
If you've been trying to impress a significant other with your iPad, it probably won't work. According to Retrevo's Gadgetology study, using an iPad is lower on the list of things men and women find attractive. Actually, it's even less attractive than reading a book.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Retrevo asked consumers whether they notice other people's gadgets and how someone’s gadgets affect their opinions of them. The results show that using an iPad is the least likely thing a person would be attracted to...
MyWi is an incredibly popular Cydia app that allows jailbreakers to have a heavily customizable mobile hotspot with their iPhone's 3G connection. We here at iDB love MyWi, and it's definitely been a staple of what the jailbreak scene has to offer for quite some time.
Intelliborn, the company behind MyWi, recently added a new feature to the popular hotspot app called "OnDemand." The purpose of MyWi OnDemand is to create a smarter mobile hotspot on the iPhone.
MyWi OnDemand will study the behavior of the devices connected to your hotspot, and connect or disconnect when you need it to...
All signs have been pointing to Apple releasing iOS 4.3 in the very near future, with speculation that Apple's 4.3 announcement could even come next week. Most speculation is centering on an Apple announcement taking place within the next 10 days.
Besides an iOS 4.3 announcement, Apple is rumored to be announcing the iPad 2, the Verizon iPhone's "Personal Hotspot" feature on AT&T, and an official release of in-app subscriptions.
Whether or not all of the speculation is accurate, it's evident that Apple will be holding an event in the near future...
Finding good themes for a jailbroken iPhone has never been that easy. Themes are usually posted by designers on forums and portfolio websites, and it can be difficult for the average jailbreaker to discover all of the great themes that are out there.
Cydia recently added the "Theme Center," which aims to help users find the plethora of Winterboard themes for jailbroken iDevices. The Theme Center is a great addition to Cydia, but there is plenty of room for improvement.
"Theme It" is a new jailbreak app that aims to be the "Theme Store you've been waiting for." It does look very promising...
You mad? Toshiba's teaser site for their upcoming tablet line looks like any regular Flash website on a normal desktop web browser. Visit that same website from an iOS device such as the iPhone or iPad, and not so much.
While it's obvious that the Flash aspects would be omitted from the iOS versions of the website due to Apple's well documented lack of support for the plugin, it's not the lack of Flash that has people talking this time...
