With the release of the new iPad, AT&T ended up setting a new sales record for Apple’s Tablet. Rod and I were invited to check out the new iPad 3 with AT&T which we both liked. It was easy to see that there was a lot of buzz going on in the store as even news reporters were showing up as we were leaving and now we know why.

After checking out in person the new iPad 3 we are prepared to guide our readers into whether or not they should get Apple’s latest tablet. AT&T invited Chris and I to check out the Launch of the iPad 3 at their Bethesda location and we are glad we went as we were able to determine that the iPad 3 is a great device however so was the 1 and 2.

Going along with our summary of Apple’s iPad announcement we just posted, is the iPad 3 press release. In the press release, Apple discusses not only the new features but also the price point for the old and new tablets. One of the nice things to note is that the AT&T version will support HSDPA as well as LTE, which means you will have a fast mobile internet connection even when not on LTE.

Today Apple announced their new iPad, which really confirms most of the rumors about their new tablet. The iPad 3 features a new quad-core A5X processor, 4G LTE radio, and an HD capable video camera. Apple is touting that the iPad 3 has a battery life of 9 hours on 4G and 10 Hours on 3G, which is very impressive, based on all the 4G battery woes that Android devices have seen.

Today Apple is scheduled to announce their iPad 3 and we will be checking in with our thoughts on the announcement. There are many rumors floating around about what will be announced today so it will be nice to see what is true and what is complete bunk. We are however expecting to hear confirmation that the iPad 3 will have a bigger battery and a higher definition screen with it also running the latest version of iOS.

Apple has released the much awaited iOS 5.01, which should address the battery issues many users are experiencing. Hopefully it also covers the recent security exploit highlighted by Charlie Miller. Additionally this update should address multi touch gestures on the original iPad, bugs with iCould documents, voice recognition for Australian users using dictation.
This is the first time you are able to update your iOS device OTA (over the air). Over WiFi this update took about 1 minutes from clicking the button until it rebooted and started the install. The install itself was completed in 3-4 minutes. I remain connected to power, just in case. If you have not received and update you can force a check by going to Settings | General | Software Update.

It was bound to happen… So many BlackBerry users have stated that would never leave the BlackBerry because of BlackBerry Messenger that you knew it was only a matter of time before Apple came out with their own proprietary, iOS only, instant messaging application. Today at WWDC Apple introduced iMessage which will be available to all iOS 5 or later devices.

There is a look of anticipation you see on a kid’s face when you say we are going to Disney World, and then there is the giddy joy of two adults when they unbox and play with an iPad 2. You can cross the threshold of any Apple store and there is bound to be someone making funny faces at the camera as they play with Photo Booth. The iPad 2 includes Photo Booth, which is an application that can be hours of fun.

I hope you got up early this morning and went to the local Best Buy or Apple Store to purchase your iPad 2. Currently on Apple.com the estimated ship time is 2-3 weeks on all iPad models. This is one time I suggest not shopping online. RIM might be able to release the BlackBerry Playbook before Apple catches up with demand.

The iPad 2 is exactly what everyone was expecting except it is going to release earlier than expected. Over the next 30 days lets see if anyone talks about the HP TouchPad or RIM PlayBook.
