Apple launches iBooks 2 for digital textbooks on iPad

“What’s wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology,” Steve Jobs once said. It’s true that little can be done in tech field to make teachers, their school districts, and parents change the way in which they prepare a proper lesson plan. But they CAN take steps to nudge them in the right direction. Apple has focused on the consumer market for decades now, and with its appropriate household name, it hopes to be one synonymous with education reform and getting kids back on track to want to learn again by giving them, and their teachers, the tools needed to spark their interest. — More after the break!

Rumor - iPad 3 with retina display shipping in February 2012

When the iPad 2 came out some were disappointed to hear that they wouldn’t be getting that delicious retina display screen, as seen on the iPhone 4. And it also sucked for those same people who went ahead and picked up the second generation Apple tablet only to read just a mere few weeks later that the next version of the iPad would indeed host a screen with retina display. Well, stop the presses since a rumor has come out that iPad 3 will not only feature that high resolution display, but also is just right around the corner. — More after the break!

What exactly do people think of the iPad? - Survey

People seem to be foaming at the mouth for new iPads, I mean Apple can’t build them fast enough and they have recieved rave reviews. The fact is, people like you and I are in a bubble. We eat, live and breath technology and we have quickly fallen out of touch with the everyman and how the rest of the world looks at technology. We may see the iPad 2 as an underpowered verion of the Xoom, or a glorified netbook but the fact is, normal people (90% of the world) are going batcrap for iPads and no matter how much we bash it, it still sells like magic beans.
