A few days ago, when Steve Jobs announced the availability of the 6th gen iPod Nano and 4th gen iPod Touch he also hinted at the iOS version 4.2 upgrade for iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone that is set to arrive sometime in November this year. It's not the first update to come, as iOS 4.1 is scheduled to hit upgrade servers pretty soon, but it's the upgrade most are waiting for as it will give the iPad new 'powers', allowing it to catch up with the iPhone 4 in terms of functionality, plus adds a few ...

I still remember like it was yesterday the Terminator 2 movie. The T1000 liquid metal robot made me dream of a nearby future where we could mold liquid just like plastic, but in a more peaceful way, not end of the world kind of way. Apparently things moved faster than anticipated, as Liquidmetal Technologies is already producing such a metal with twice the durability of titanium and which is extremely hard and strong, resistant to corrosion, scratching, and staining, and highly conductive to hea...

How expensive can an iPad case be? I've presented you in the past quite a few interesting (and some expensive) iPad cases but none of them compares to the Parabellum Kevlar iPad case, one that can literally bulletproof your beloved tablet. Maybe you haven't heard of Parabellum, but they're some of the craziest hand made cases manufacturers I know. All their products are military grade reinforced to withstand any kind of punishment you throw at them. But protection is just one thing, the rest ...

You know that one of the things that make users think again before buying the iPad is not the lack of Flash support, but the diagonal of the screen, a put off for many because they can't figure out why a tablet with limited computing functionality needs a 10 inch screen. Add to this the higher price of the larger screen and you have a clear picture on why the rumor of a 7 inch iPad coming down the road in early 2011 seems plausible. Apple might shrink the current iPad to a more pocketable siz...

Believe it or not Apple really is patenting everything, from the shape of their chargers to the design of their official cases. The latest product to get this treatment is the iPad official case that got the design patent from the US Patent Office. If you're wondering what's that special about the official Apple iPad case then you don't understand how Apple's mind works: they claim that putting a microfiber interior together with reinforced panels and making the case also act as a stand for medi...

Now that the Library of Congress make Jailbreaking legal in US, there's nothing stopping people unlock the full potential of their Apple iPads/iPhones or iPods, plus it's legal for you to host the programs that do just that. JailBreakMe is the latest tool that's even easier to use the previous versions thanks to the fact that is web browser based, so all you have to do is point the Safari browser inside your device to this URL: http://jailbreakme.com and follow the instructions. Unfortunately...

Apple already sold 3 millions iPads, but I bet they're not resting on their laurels and are working on the iPad 2 (actual name not disclosed yet and will never be till launch time). But that doesn't mean we don't know anything about it, as a recent report from Digitimes brings small clues about the second generation iPad, a device which will sell in multiple screen sizes, with 5.6 and 7 inch model options, all of which will be OLED in nature. Personally, I doubt Apple will launch a 5.6 model ...

We know a lot about the iPad, but we don't really know why people are buying it, and especially how they are using it. That's the key to understand why the iPad is so successful and how it will impact sales of other gadgets, which the iPad replaces to some extent. A recent sturdy by Resolve Market Research sheds a light on this matter and what they reveal is pretty astonishing, at least to me. When asked which one of the following, portable gaming console, the iPad and smartphones, are better...

If you ask me, the iPad is anything but a business device. This shows that I'm not a good judge, as the business world is welcoming more and more the iPad in their daily lives (read daily work). That's not me saying it, but an article published by Bloomberg where various business people spell out their work experience with the Apple tablet. What strike me is that the simplicity of the iPad and its inability to multitask or run serious programs is it's most important strength to the business w...

We've told you about the video demo of the iPad running flash a few days ago and now it's time to actually show you how it can be done. So after all that was not a joke, but a really working scenario, one which can be replicated right now on any jailbroken iPad, so if you're like me and can't stand all the limitation imposed by Steve Jobs, all you have to do is follow the step by step guide provided by Engadget. The thing is called Frash and can run flash games with ease, but no flash video s...
