You bought an iPad 2 last week, and then all of a sudden Apple dropped the price and announced a shiny new model. No fair! Sure, you maybe could’ve seen it coming, but you shouldn’t be penalized. And depending on where and when you bought your suddenly obsolete tablet, you might not be. Update on…

Where and When to Sell Your iPad 2 for the Most Money

As of 1 p.m. EST, though, they’re all going to plummet. So get selling! The iPad 3 is almost here, and even though you don’t know for sure what…

Apple Pulled iPads from Amazon China, But Won’t Face Total Ban (Yet)

Apple’s asked the Chinese Amazon store to stop selling iPads because of its not-going-so-well legal mess with Proview Technology. Proview’s also trying to get all imports and exports of the iPad banned. So if neither side wants iPads sold in China, why are they still on shelves? Local customs officials, of course, who have responded…

Samsung Galaxy Note: Truly, Freakishly Large

For a while Samsung couldn’t decide whether to call its Galaxy Note tablet or a phone. Considering that its 5.3-inch screen splits the difference between an iPhone and a Galaxy Tab 7, that’s not surprising. But why get caught up on labels? Let’s just call the Galaxy Note what it is: A giant hulking mammoth…

Is the Prizm a Multi-Function Stand Or a Klingon Ceremonial Weapon?

Hub’s flat-packed Prizm iPad stand is designed to be as light and minimal as possible, separating into two pieces of precision cut thin aluminum that can be easily slipped inside a bag or case alongside your tablet. But it looks more to me like a ceremonial weapon that I swear I’ve seen Worf brandish on…

Apple Will Worry About iPad Competition When It Exists

When asked today about how Apple was handling the competition from lower-priced tablets—specifically the Kindle Fire—Apple CEO Tim Cook said, effectively, that it isn’t a competition at all. Which would sound like hubris, if the numbers didn’t back him up so strongly. While Amazon did sell millions of Kindle Fires last quarter, it’s highly unlikely…

Magnus Is One Beautiful Low-Profile Magnetic iPad Stand

If Apple had designed an iPad 2 stand that didn’t double as a protective cover, I’m inclined to believe it would look exactly like Ten One Design’s Magnus, which uses a strong neodymium magnet to make the iPad appear to float. The stand is machine-crafted from pure aluminum, finished by hand, and adorned with rubberized…
