Looking to get the iPad 2 on launch day, but are dreading standing in line for hours, or even a whole week ahead of time just to get one? Well you don’t. Unfortunately Apple is not having any pre-orders for the iPad 2, due to their servers getting overloaded with the launch of the iPhone 4. Here’s a list of numerous Apple retail partners that will have the iPad 2 on launch day. Read More
With the iPad 2 announcement now behind us, it’s time to start focusing on Apple’s next big release – the iPhone 5. Over the past few months, rumors surrounding Apple’s next-gen iPhone have been few and far in between, but the rumors that have surfaced are quite intriguing. From an NFC capable device to an entirely new form factor with a 4-inch screen, Apple appears to have something big in the works come June. Indeed, even publications like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times – papers Apple often uses to ‘leak’ information – have intimated that the iPhone 5 will be a significant departure from the iPhone 4.

The rumor that the iPad 2 event was happening on March 2nd has been confirmed by Apple. They have started to send out the following rsvp to the press:
Please join us for an invitation-only event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco on March 2 at 10:00 a.m. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. Please arrive early. RSVP to rsvp_media@apple.com.
The rumored specs are already enough for me, but I am guessing they will have something different to surprise us with. The scripture at the bottom of the image pretty much says that 2011 will be the year of the iPad 2, and we’ll see.
This is not proven yet, but All Things D is saying that Apple will be announcing the next iPad at their upcoming event in San Francisco next week, on March 2nd. The rumors so far on what the next iPad 2 is going to have is a bigger speaker, front and rear facing cameras, dual core CPU from Qualcomm (maybe be called the A5), a boost in physical and temporary memory, a better display, and to be thinner that its predecessor. But I wonder if there will be something that surprises everyone.
So if you have a first gen iPad and are planning on getting the second gen, I would start thinking about selling it while it still has its high value.
Apple has hired an entirely new DC lobbying outfit to exert influence on the federal government in regards to investments dealing with innovation.
Apple spent a little over $1.6 million in lobbying the government in 2010 for instance,
where as Microsoft spent over $7 million.
As the launch of the Verizon iPhone looms, Verizon is going to jab AT&T anyway that they can to make sure anyone buying an iPhone soon doesn’t go to AT&T. Here’s Verizon’s new Commerical “Yes, I Can Hear You Now!”, which leaves AT&T right where they stand. Let’s see if AT&T gets back up to fight back.

Since we are seeing a lot of iPad dummy units lately, it is expected that the device might be launched soon.
The latest rumor says that the release will happen on April 2nd or 9th in the US, and the device will be sold exclusively in the US for a few months before being launched in other countries in July. There is a possibility that Apple might follow this launch plan, since it is similar to how the original iPad was released.
The rumor also says that the device will be sold by Apple directly for the first six months. After that period, the iPad 2 will also be offered by the company’s retail partners such as Walmart and Best Buy.
Engadget is claiming that the iPad 2 will come equipped with a Retina Display,SD card slot and front- and rear-facing cameras.
We have also added a video which was leaked from CES. The video shows a dummy version of the iPad 2, and it has a front facing camera for FaceTime video calling, flat back, and a much large speaker at its bottom.
