    When Apple introduced the New iPad on the 7th of March they also unveiled iPhoto for both the iPad and the iPhone, an application which allows you to browse, edit and share photos from your tablet or phone. According to unofficial information allegedly coming from Apple, the Cupertino company's new application hit the 1 million user mark in less than ten days -- probably by March 17. The numbers represent unique users and not downloads and, given the fact that the app goes for $4.99 in the iTunes App Store, the figures are quite enchanting. If you want to experience gestures on pictures ...

    A bold move from Apple back with the release of the first-generation iPad, was to allow iPhone apps to run on it. Apps would box-into the display and allow you to even zoom into them to take over the iPad's full screen. Sadly, the problem was that zooming-in would turn any app into an old Nintendo 8-bit game show full of pixels. Apple's launch of the New iPad has changed that. You'll notice in our following video that if your iPhone apps have been enhanced to support the iPhone's Retina Display, zooming them into the New iPad's Retina Display will give you an image that's just as sharp. ...

    One of the most persistent rumors surrounding Apple's next-generation iPad is that this release will mark Apple moving up to a much higher density Retina display for the tablet. Supposedly, the display would have a resolution of 2048x1536, doubling both the horizontal and vertical pixel counts of the iPad 2's 1024x768 screen for an effective quadrupling of the total number of pixels. Now, that aspect of the tablet's design seems all but confirmed, upon the discovery of a screen component matching the rumored specs. MacRumors got its hands on what was supposed to be an iPad 3 display panel. ...

    With Apple's next generation iPad just a couple of hours away, one of our biggest sources of speculation has to do with its biggest part – the screen. Some believe that the device will double its pixels in order to provide a similar "retina display" experience that we found on the iPhone 4, and others feel that Apple will simply bump the screen resolution to support 1080p. Sadly the only tool we have against speculation is history, and so far Apple's move in doubling the pixels of the iPhone 3GS from 320x480 at 163 ppi to 640x960 at 326 ppi with the iPhone 4 says a lot. It's important to ...

    Apple's March 7th event is currently rolling and we thought you'd like to know that they've just confirmed the availability of iOS 5.1 to users starting today. It's kind of weird to see Apple roll the update without ever reaching a developer GM candidate, but after so many weeks in beta, it was about time. At the moment we've got details about Siri now being able to speak in Japanese to all iOS 5.1 customers. Sadly Apple's keynote didn't provide any additional details on what iOS 5.1 will bring. With so many battery life complaints on the iPhone 4S, this update most likely deals with ...

    The New iPad is already out there and if Verizon is your favorite carrier you are able to grab one. The Amazon Kindle Fire is one of the most popular Android tablets on the market and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Samsung is also a 4G LTE-enabled choice on Big Red. We're putting the latest Android addition to Verizon's tablet line-up, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, against the aforementioned alternatives. We're taking a look at form factors -- whether you want to go with a large, 9.7/10-incher, a smaller 7.7-inch dimension or the smallest size of 7-inches on the Fire -- usability, user interface ...

    Apple has a conference call scheduled for today, March 19, 2012 starting at 6:00AM PDT (9:00AM EDT) where Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, and Peter Oppenheimer, the company's CFO, will "announce the outcome of the Company's discussions concerning its cash balance". Apple has a lot of money; according to the last earning's report, somewhere around the $100 billion mark, but the Q4 report should give you more details in case you missed it. With the New iPad, upcoming exciting products like the new iPhone or even computers (desktop or notebook) as well as the incredible buzz around all things Apple, ...

    Apple's next iPad is finally here, and for those of you Apple users who prefer living outside the walled garden, work's already well underway on the first public jailbreak for the tablet. The iPhone Dev Team recently put up a new blog post outlining where current efforts lie, and the situation is definitely looking promising. Right now, only Apple gear based on older chipsets has an iOS 5.1 jailbreak available for it, and even that's semi-tethered. As for the iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and 2012 iPad, there's no public solution available; what about private? At least two, and possibly three or four ...

    $445 Amazon credit is what the giant is willing to offer you if you trade in your old iPad 2 with 64GB of storage but the offer differs from one model to the other. However, if you want to keep it Apple-only, the Cupertino-based company's Reuse and Recycle Program could also interest you. Suppose your iPad 2 is in top condition, no scratches, dents or engraving and the battery is still in good shape, you'll get anywhere between $205 and $320, depending on the model you own. As with the case of Amazon who will give you Credit, Apple is going to send you an Apple Gift Card in exchange for ...

    Those who pre-ordered the New iPad on the keynote day, March 7, should get their devices this week but those who were not that quick will have to stand in line on March 23 to grab one. However, if you want to get rid of your old iPad, Amazon is giving you a great chance. If your old iPad 2 is in excellent condition, the giant is willing to give you as much as $320 in Amazon credit for the 16GB variant. If you have an iPad 2 with 64GB of storage, it will get you $445-worth Amazon credit even if it's the WiFi only version. Check out the source link below to see how much yours would bring you ...

In the Not So Cool section, we talk about all the iPad 3 predictions that didn't happen, and why these features mattered.

    You are already probably familiar with the i4Siri project; at the end of last year we told you to keep your fingers crossed for a port if Siri is the only reason you'd consider purchasing an iPhone 4S (despite the improved camera and processor). If you're rocking an Apple iPad and want to use Siri, this might be a good chance to consider it, since Apple failed to bring the personal assistant to the New iPad (and iOS 5.1). In order to get it up and running you will first need to jailbreak your device (regardless if you're on an A4 or A5 device, regardless if you are running iOS 5.0.1 or iOS ...

    Apple's recent release of iOS 5.1 is anything but surprising. It took very little spotlight at Tim Cook's recent Keynote, but that doesn't mean it isn't important. The update has a full list of the updates that current customers are looking for, like improved performance in battery life for the iPhone 4S and the ability to delete unwanted images from Photo Stream. Obviously, if you're enjoying all the benefits behind a Jailbreak, upgrading to iOS 5.1 can prove to threaten your freedom. If you're asking yourself if this update is worth your time and lock-down, have a look at our following ...
