The first gen iPad is still a formidable tablet, even after Apple improved it with the launch of the iPad 2. While you can't officially get a new iPad 1 from Apple anymore, the company still sells refurbished models, and since they're always in stock it means you can still get a good tablet for a bargain price.Now Apple has sweeten the deal even more, as for a limited time you can get a refurbished iPad 1 for $100 less that it was before. Details of the clearance event are here. So if you wa...

Even if the iPad 3 was not officially announced yet, people are talking about it quite a lot, including us here at All Touch Tablet. Since the first and second generations of the Apple tablet were a huge success it's normal for everyone to turn their heads towards the next reincarnation.Since Apple is not used to give a heads up for any of their products before the actual official announcement we'll have to rely on rumors, backed up by various reports, insider info and studies the press and ...

Yesterday we've talked a little bit about iOS 5, just launched by Apple, about how you can backup, update and then restore your iPad (or any other iOS device). Now it's time to take the most important features piece by piece and see how to enable and use them.This post is about the initial procedure for iCloud setup and the options under the settings menu regarding iCloud, as well as the available purchasing options if you want to acquire more space on Apple's servers.The first time you ...

iOS 5 is by far the biggest software update Apple has ever released for its mobile devices. It brings more than 200 new features (see our initial coverage here with all the new functionality) including iCloud, WiFi iTunes sync, a new notification bar very similar with the one on Android devices, iMessage (a Blackberry style messenger), Newsstand, Reminders, Twitter integration and many other smaller features.As of today, iOS 5 is ready to be downloaded and installed on your iDevice (iPhone ...

After last year's launch of the 1st gen iPad tablet a few rumors have started to run around about a mini iPad, but were quickly dismissed by Steve Jobs, who said Apple didn't believe in a smaller form factor tablet. 10 inches is perfect and you don't want to mess with perfection, right?Apparently they're going to stick with that, but will offer a mini-iPad version meant to counteract the cheap $199 Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. In this case the 'mini' refers to pricing, not the size of the tabl...

We've got quite a few rumors here about the iPad 3, and now we'll add a new one to the queue as recent words have spread regarding the new battery inside the third generation Apple tablet. It seems a new battery power pack supplied by Dynapack International Technology Corp. will be thinner and lighter, last as long as the previous generation (or even slightly more), all with increased durability when it comes to the number of times you'll be able to recharge it.All sounds good on paper, but...

The iPad 2 can do a lot of things but up until now watching over-the-air TV was now an option. Sure you could get TV channels streamed over the Internet, but a true TV watcher needs an iPad 2 accessory like the Elgato EyeTV Mobile dongle which connects on the charging/sync port of your iPad 2 and brings DVB-T radio transmissions directly to your tablet's screen.Elgato EyeTV Mobile dongle costs only 99 EUR (possibly $99 in US and Canada when the ATSC version is ready) and features a small bod...

We had quite a few rumours here at AllTouchTablet about the iPad 3, most of them pointing towards the huge 2048 x 1536 pixels retina display that's supposed to arrive with it. Now Wall Street Journal confirms this story, saying Apple is already sampling the iPad 3 with its display partners (LG and Samsung) to make sure they can build the impressive displays at the required standards and volume at the same time. This time Apple is making sure they'll have enough iPad 3 stocks at launch, early i...

It might seem odd to you, but up until yesterday I haven't owned an iPad 2. It didn't felt necessary to me, since I already had the 1st gen iPad and people kept sending me case for it. Only in the past couple of weeks seeing that I have acquired quite a few iPad 2 cases I've decided to get the second generation. I have to admit it's becoming less and less thrilling to unpack a new gadget, especially those I own. Hope I'm not getting tired of computers (that was a joke!).This post is not a la...

We all know that people use tablets for gaming, a lot, but we didn't knew the iPad was such a good mobile platform for gaming, until we've heard Electronic Arts' CEO saying they're putting new software every 90 days on the iPad platform which didn't exist 18 months ago. That's because consoles, who used to account for 80% of the gaming industry are now down to only 40%. Ouch, that's got to hurt Nintendo, Sony and even Microsoft, the trio that makes the most popular gaming consoles on market....
