Verizon to offer $20 1GB data plan for 4G iPad with free hotspot support

Cody Lee ∙ March 8, 2012

There was certainly some confusion earlier today regarding what the carriers' plans are for the new iPad's hotspot feature. The tablet, for the first time, will be compatible with high-speed LTE networks. And it will be to share the connection with up to 5 other devices.

As of right now, AT&T, one of the largest carriers in the US, has no idea when or if it will support the feature. But Verizon, on the other hand, has confirmed that its four data plans, starting at $20 per month, will all include free hotspot support...

iPad and Apple TV shipping estimates begin slipping

Jake Smith ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Yesterday, Apple announced its new iPad and Apple TV at a media event in California. Later that afternoon, both products went up for pre-order on Apple's Online Store. Apple said at the time both products would begin shipping to customers on March 16th. However, due to the excitement over both products, shipping times for both the Apple TV and iPad have slipped, as noted by 9to5mac.

Some models of the iPad have slipped back to March 19th, while the Apple TV has slipped back even further -- now delivering in roughly "1 -2 weeks" for customers that are just pre-ordering...

Oliver Haslam ∙ March 8, 2012

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...

Neither AT&T nor Verizon supporting 4G iPad hotspot yet [Updated]

Cody Lee ∙ March 8, 2012

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...

Watch the iPad 3 event in iTunes, or on your Apple TV now

Oliver Haslam ∙ March 8, 2012

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.

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...

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.

Sébastien Page ∙ March 7, 2012

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?
