Apple to Announce iPad 3 First Week of March?

An anonymous source inside Apple let slip to All Things D today that the company plans to unveil the highly anticipated iPad 3 at an event during the first week of March.

Of course, this is the hundredth time over the last few months that someone has claimed to know when Apple will unveil the third iteration of their famous tablet. So, who really knows?

EA Unexpectedly Releases Battlefield 3 iOS Game

The EA mobile division unexpectedly and inexplicably released a god-awful iOS bastardization of Battlefield 3 this morning. It’s apparently tied to some sort of advertising partnership with the producers of the upcoming war movie Act of Valor.

The game is called Battlefield 3: Aftershock and – no surprise, here – it’s terrible. Even free, it isn’t worth downloading.

The HoverBar iPad Stand

Because you can never have too many screens in front of you at once, there’s now an iPad stand that can clip on to the back of your monitor – or anything else, for that matter.

It’s called the HoverBar and although it doesn’t come cheap at $79.99, I could definitely think of a number of really awesome ways to leverage one of these.

If you’re interested, you can get one at twelvesouth.

iPad 3 Specs Leaked, A6 Chip Confirmed

A source claiming to have access to an iPad 3 prototype leaked screenshots of the device’s specs, which were measured using a development tool called iBoot, to the folks at BGR. It appears to be a legitimate leak. Perhaps the most interesting detail is that it will run on an A6 chip, making it several leaps and bounds faster than the iPad 2.

Untethered Jailbreak For iPhone 4S and iPad2

The guys at team Greenpois0n have finally done it: an untethered jailbreak that works for both the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. No more restrictions! Woo! It’s called Absinthe and it works on the iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1 and the iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1

The iPoo

Programmer and designer Milos Paripovic finally made it happen: an Apple toilet. He’s even gone and created a webpage dedicated to the fake (but hilarious) concept.

There is a critical design flaw here, however. It’d be mighty uncomfortable for a dude to sit on one of these. Unless, of course, you’re cool with hanging your junk over the front lip.

CES 2012: Day Two Summary

Although most of the biggest and best CES 2012 announcements were made yesterday, there was still some exciting news today. Here’s a summary of some of today’s highlights.

  • Nikon demonstrated their new D4 DSLR, a damn-near $6,000 camera that isn’t nearly impressive enough to warrant the jaw-dropping price tag.
  • LG demo’ed their new cloud gaming app, which is powered by Gaikai. The service will basically allow you to game on LG HDTV units without a console attached.
  • Nyko showed up with a pair of speaker stands designed for the PS Vita and the Kindle Fire. They also have a Kindle Fire case with an extra battery in the works.
  • Razer pulled out an updated prototype of their Blade laptop, which now features an SSD and a functional trackpad on the right-hand side.
  • Griffin Technology showed their ridiculously cool new MIDI and audio interface for iPad musicians. It’s called StudioConnect and will retail for $149.
  • Line 6 demo’ed an awesome looking new hardware MIDI keyboard for iOS devices.
  • Viewsonic unveiled three LED computer monitors with more bells and whistles than I can even list here – everything from 3D to touch sensitivity to wireless tablet support.
  • The Ubuntu TV prototype made its public debut, clunky and ugly as it is.

Apple Making “Education Announcement” On January 19th

As anticipated, Apple once again stole some of the spotlight from CES this morning with news that they’re planning something big in New York on January 19th.

Oddly enough, they’re billing it as an “education” announcement. We know that it’s not going to be an iPhone related event. Could this just be a clever disguise for the mythical iPad 3 that everyone’s been buzzing about over the past few months? My vote is, “Yes.”

The Waterproof iPhone 4S

A company called Liquipel has developed a method of completely waterproofing your cell phone such that you can actually use it underwater. They’ve even gone and proven it with a product demonstration video. (Warning: Do not try this at home, kids.)

Unfortunately, the only way to get your phone treated with the chemical used by Liquipel is to send them your phone for a few days. However, they’re trying to work directly with a handful of manufacturers to bring their product to market as a standard option.

Vimeo Teases New iOS, Android, and Windows Phone Apps

Video hosting site Vimeo intends to make a splash at CES with news of an updated iOS app that supports the iPad in addition to ports for Android and Windows Phone devices.

The iOS update includes full support for HD video streaming. Both the Android and Windows Phone versions allow you to upload directly from a device and gives you the ability to create a “watch later” queue. Huzzah! I’ve been waiting for this news for quite a while.
