Pre-orders for the iPad mini have gone live moments ago in a number of countries but most people are still bewildered about Apple’s move of discontinuing the ‘new’ iPad that was launched only earlier this year in favor of another ‘new’ iPad but has retained the iPad 2, which is already more than a year old. The fourth-generation iPad has minor changes over the model it replaces and will be casually called the iPad 4 in the market just like the previous generation iPad was called ...

Apple’s new iPad was launched on March 7 and is currently available in 10 countries – US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia. While people from other countries have to either wait for the device to get launched in their country or can get it from some other place where its available, of course in a legal way. But it seems a few folks in China were opting for the illegitimate way out and were trying to smuggle a few units of the new iPad using speci...

The new iPad goes on sale in about 24 hours across 10 countries and the first reviews have been extremely positive across the board.

Well it’s that time of the year again. You know iPad leaks time. This time around the guys at RepairLabs are reporting that the iPad 3 will have a larger battery compartment, a different logic board, possibly a different camera all in the same form factor not even a millimeter thicker. Previously it was reported that the iPad 3 could be slightly thicker, so that it could encompass for the new components, but the guys at RepairLabs don’t believe so. The RepairLabs team also mentions that the screws for the...

Apple is apparently planning a big media event in New York City post CES, according to an AllThingsD report. The report also mentions that this event will most probably have nothing to do with the rumored Apple Television or even the iPad 3. The event will focus more on interactive publishing and advertising and Apple’s VP for services Eddy Cue will be involved. Previously Eddy Cue took the stage when the iPad exclusive ‘The Daily’ Newspaper/ Magazine was launched by Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp....

Seems like Steve Jobs’ dream of a phone with no buttons whatsoever is about to come true. The latest iOS 5 beta 3 firmware released to developers today adds a new ‘AssistiveTouch’ accessibility feature, which brings up on-screen controls for common actions associated with the home, power and volume keys.
