The advent of GarageBand and iMovie will undoubtedly change the minds of those few remaining skeptics who still irrationally cling to the idea that the iPad is solely a content consumption device. Not only is the iPad a content creation device, but its portability is having a profound affect on how content is created in […]

As Will Ferrell’s Zoolander character Jacobim Mugatu might say, the iPad 2 is so hot right now.

Comments Off on iPad battery and glass display most at risk in wake of Japan disaster
iSuppli writes that while most of the iPad 2 components can be outsourced outside of Japan, the glass display and the battery may prove more challenging to swap out. The glass used in the iPad 2’s touch screen overlay could present another supply problem for Apple. While the supplier of this glass cannot be confirmed […]
