HP was painfully aware of the TouchPad‘s hardware shortcomings, insider sources have suggested, with ports of webOS running “over twice as fast” on Apple’s iPad 2. While initial reviews – ours included – complained of occasional sluggishness from the TouchPad’s 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon APQ8060 processor, webOS engineers within HP were also supposedly vocal in their complaints about the hardware, The Next Web‘s tipster whispered to them.

Apple looks to Samsung as LG fails to meet iPad 2 display demands, report claims
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungLGAppleiPad 2
Apple will turn to Samsung and Chimei Innolux to supply display panels for its iPad 2 after LG’s panels failed to meet Apple’s quality requirements. The quality issues with LG’s displays forced the company to miss its July monthly shipment goal by 1 million units, DigiTimes said. Reportedly, LG’s LCD backlight units failed during Apple’s drop tests. LG had hoped to ship 4 million LCD units per month during the third quarter, but only shipped an estimated 2.5-2.6 million units in July. Samsung, by comparison, provided the Cupertino-based firm with two million displays, or twice its monthly average. Chimei Innolux shipped 450,000 units during the month and the company has a new monthly shipmen...

iPad 2 orders from online Apple Store ship within one day for first time since launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 2
It took 145 days, but Apple’s supply of iPad 2 tablets has finally caught up with demand. Purchases made from the online Apple Store will now ship within 24 hours of being placed, and the new fulfillment time applies to all six variants of the iPad 2. Since the tablet launched in the middle of March, Apple’s iPad 2 instantly became the world’s most sought after tablet. Inventory at brick and mortar Apple Stores, retail partners and at Apple’s online store depleted as fast as Apple could replenish it, and order fulfillment quotes grew as long as a month. Now, four and a half months later, fulfillment quotes have dropped to 24 hours for the first time since the iPad 2 became available on March...

Skype for iPad officially released and then pulled
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 2
Good news for iPad 2 owners! Skype has released an official version for iPads, so you no longer have to rely on the iPhone app for your video calls. Of course the iPhone app would be a smaller video window, or an odd fullscreen option, but now Skype can be enjoyed on the iPad screen in its full glory.
Skype for iPad supports video calling, audio calling and chat on WiFi or 3G. Of course, in order to get two-way video calling you'll need an iPad 2, but OG iPad owners will still be able to receive video calls even though they won't be able to send video. The app also brings all the other features you'd expect in a Skype app, like push notifications for chat and communication histories.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Beats Apple iPad 2 In Display Contest
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleiPad 2GALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple’s iPad 2 has been carrying the torch for the best quality display, but a recent comparison test suggests that it may be ousted by the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The test was conducted by DisplayMate, comparing the iPad 2 display to that of various other Android tablets in addition to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, including the Motorola XOOM, Acer Iconia Tab A500, and the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.
The attributes that DisplayMate focused on were color accuracy, viewing angles, saturation, brightness and contrast, screen reflections, backlight power consumption, and battery life of the display. The worst of the bunch was the Motorola XOOM, which scored poorly across the board. In the middle ...

Just as Amazon revealed that it will be offering its iPad app Kindle users access to newspapers and magazines, rival Barnes & Noble has done the same with an announcement that periodical access for its iPad Nook app will come "in the coming days".
The app gives users access to 175 magazines and newspapers although, like the updated Kindle app, Nook has also refused to toe the line with Apple's in-app subscription guidelines. It has removed the Nook store link from the app, and is now offering purchases from the browser at www.nooknewsstand.com.

Jailbreakme registers over 2 million jailbreak attempts in mere four days after launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
It was just a couple of days ago when Jailbreakme released its latest 3.0 version supporting iOS devices like the iPad 2 and others running 4.3.x, but it's already got significant traction having registered over 2 million taps on the jailbreak button, according to a tweet by one of the main contributors to the service, Grant Paul. That translates into the impressive more than 500,000 a day.
Jailbreakme's popularity stems from the fact that the tool is the first to support untethered jailbreak for the iPad 2, but it's also easiest and probably the most secure one out there. It uses a yet unpatched hole in Mobile Safari, so the user can load Cydia and set their device free, but Apple engineer...

iPad 2 Shipping Times Drop To 3-5 Days
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
When Apple’s iPad 2 first came out back in March, there were massive supply shortages. The bottleneck was rumored to be light leakage issues with the LG supplied display panels, but whatever the problem was, it looks to be fixed. Apple plans to boost shipment numbers for Q3 and has just shortened iPad 2 shipping times to 3-5 days.
During the first month of the iPad 2 launch, shipping times were set to 4-5 weeks out. The iPad 2 continued to sell out in other countries with a worldwide shortage that resulted in disappointing shipment numbers for Apple during its Q1 earnings report. That was soon improved by April and has since remained at 1-2 weeks out. Today, the online Apple Store started sh...

Apple iPad 2 Plus coming this Fall with Retina Display?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
The rumors of the iPad 3 coming out this Fall have been bouncing around for a while now but an analyst is lending a bit more credence to the fact that we may see a followup to the Apple tablet soon and it may have a boosted screen.
“We hear Apple could migrate the iPad’s display resolution from a current pixel density of 132 (pixels per inch) to 250-300 ppi for the ‘iPad 2 Plus’ (note that the iPhone 4‘s screen is 326 ppi),” analyst Craig Berger wrote, according to AppleInsider.
According to this analyst, the iPad 2 Plus would have the major screen improvement, may include a storage bump but will have similar innards to the existing iPad 2. This way, Apple could bill this as an expansion of ...

iPad 2 owners can now enjoy the freedom of the easiest way to jailbreak their tablet, JailbreakMe 3.0. The tool, developed by @comex, works without the need to connect your iDevice to a computer – you just navigate to www.jailbreakme.com and install everything from there.
This way of jailbreaking differs from others like redsn0w and Pwnage Tool as it doesn't use the limera1n exploit, but rather works with a userland epxloit. It's also nearly completely safe – you can however mess up your device after you get root access. Jailbreakme is easily reversible by means of an iTunes restore and if you ever wondered whether it's legal stateside, you can rest assured that it is as the Library of Cong...

Apple may be shipping 5 million iPad 2s in July alone
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
Some leaked information from part suppliers for the Apple iPad 2 suggest that 5 million touch panels have been ordered by Apple in an effort to ramp up production and strengthen their grip on the still young tablet market.
There are multiple companies that are responsible for supplying these touch panels. Wintek and TPK handle the heaviest load and it is believed they shipped between 1.4 and 1.6 million panels just last month. To meet the demands of Apple they will need to step their game up as well as the smaller suppliers such as the company Cando, amongst others.
It is also possible these touch panels could be designated for the rumored LTE-capable iPad that many believe we will see at ...
