Wait, what? Yeap, that's right, the official Facebook app, the one everybody is waiting for an year and a half already was leaked apparently inside the new iPhone update released last week. So you can't get it unless you have a jailbroken iDevice and are willing to do some tricks.I'm curious why Facebook didn't code a special iPad app since the official launch of the tablet last year.  I'm sure they wanted to wait a little bit to see if there's enough momentum, but everybody knew a few mont...

Lots or rumors about tablets have been dismissed in the past months, and the ones about the iPad 2 were about 50-50 hit and miss, that's why the next rumor has to be taken with a little bit of caution: apparently Apple is working hard to bring the iPad 2 Plus to market at the end of this year. The 'proof' points towards sources in the supply chain, where Apple has requested quotes for different parts necessary for the rumored third generation iPad (more like two and a half if you look at the nam...

While we know the iPad is mostly used for playing games, searching for information, emailing, reading the news, accessing a social network, consuming music and videos, reading eBooks, and shopping online there are some folks finding new and exciting uses for their slate tablet. Reading this post I've come up with the idea of making a top of the most uncommon uses for the iPad, which proves the sky is the limit in finding new ways to get your money back after spending them on a tablet and maybe e...

I've seen many iPad cases, some with really intriguing double functionality like tablet stand or integrated keyboard, but none of them matches the iHome iDM71 iPad 2 case with NXT stereo speakers. That's right, external speakers inside an agenda style case that also acts as a stand with six inclination angles. Note that the iHome iDM71 case with external speakers is compatible with both the iPad and iPad 2 tablets, so if nothing major changes with the iPad 3 probably it will be compatible with t...

One of the biggest complaints people have with the iPad and iPad 2 tablets is related to screen resolution, which at 1024 x 768 pixels seems antiquated when compared with current Android tablets that feature 1280 x 800 pixels in 10 inch form factor and 1024 x 600 in 7 inch versions. It's a big difference that makes text and graphic UI elements look smoother.There were rumors about the iPad 2 going Retina Display, but that was in November, months before the official announcement. Now the rumo...

One of the things tablet won't ever be able to do better than PCs and laptops is typing fast and comfortable. That's at least my opinion, but the fact virtual keyboards are inferior to plain keyboards doesn't mean they're unusable. That's why I've decided to run a comparison test on the most popular tablet formats today, the seven and ten inch diagonals, so I took the iPad and the Playbook and shoot a video showing how fast you can type on them.It's not a comprehensive head to head test and ...

We've all concluded that tablets could to pretty much any task a regular user does with a computer, but tablets are the worst at typing. Investing in the best iPad 2 keyboard makes a huge difference in typing speed, improving tasks like writing long emails, documents, posting on your blog and even the occasional social status change. It's a lot easier to type on a hardware keyboard than rely on the virtual one found on all tablets. Sure the iPad 2 has one of the best on-screen keyboards, but it'...

Let's face it: the iPad 2 is a great mobile device (that's why it has more appeal than laptops for some consumers), but without the best iPad 2 stand is often hard to use, as most of the time you use your iPad 2 lying on a sofa or at a desk, and it becomes evident you need something to make it stand for itself, or your hands will get tired pretty soon. That something is a stand for iPad 2, one of the cheapest possible iPad 2 accessories out there, so no need to panic about adding cost to the iPa...

Could the third generation iPad be called iPad 3D instead of just iPad 3? Rumors seem to indicate that, but  we all know it's too soon to speak of the iPad 3 since Apple has just released the second generation and there's at least 12 months between generations. Anyway, there are pros and cons of using a 3D display on the third iPad and I'm going to try and make a list of why this rumor could be true and why not.Bear in mind that's only my own speculation, so don't jump on the conclusion to ...

As tablets are becoming more and more popular and accessible at the same time people started noticing the problem with text input, so they've started looking at ways to bring the convenience of laptops together with the advantages of mobility and touch control from tablets. The most popular option right now is a protective case with integrated keyboard.
