Do you play a lot of games on your Apple iPad? Did you find any difficulty using the touchscreen? If so, here is a good news for you.
ThinkGeek, major geek toys maker has launched a "Joystick" which you can attach to either your Apple iPad or any Android tablet and play games. An interesting note is that it will work with any game in any graphical control pad.
Only thing you need to do is attach the Joystick to your tablet touchscreen and play the games. You can also remove it at anytime by simply pulling it out, without any damages to your touchscreen.
This new innovative Joystick from ThinkGeek is available for $24.99 (single) and $39.99 (double). So instead of buying a single Joystick for $24.99, you can buy two at a price of $39.99 which is very reasonable.
iPhone Passcodes aren't that secure and so several users are trying to create secure passcodes for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. If you're using the most common passwords, then you should be worried if your mobile or tab gets stolen.

Browse to Settings on your Apple device.
Tap on General option and then open "PassCode Lock" menu which will ask you to enter your current PassCode. Enter it and Click Done.
On the next screen, click on "ON" button beside the "Simple PassCode" and change it to "Off". Now, you'll be asked to enter your current passcode again, immediately followed by the option to create a new passcode. Here, you can create a strong and secure passcode using the combination of alphabets, special characters and numbers.
Ex: Aft3rI$w1m
That's it! You've now created a very secure and strong passode which is more better than the default 4 digit PassCode.
Apple iPad 2 is the most purchased tablet all over and many people tried to imitate or make fun of iPad with different tricks (simply to be in news). And in such an attempt, a magician has done some crazy tricks with iPad.
The magician is Simon Pierro, hailing from German.
Apple iPad 2, no doubt, is the king of all the Tablets in the present market. However, there are a few other tablets that are raising their significance with additional features that Apple iPad 2 doesn't have. Some of them are...
Motorola Xoom : A 10.1" tablet that runs on Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) operating system is the top competitor of iPad 2. With Nividia Tegrs 2 duo-core 1GHz processor, it facilitates the user with fast accessing of applications. Motorola Xoom has two camera, front (2MP) and Rear (5MP). The most attracting feature is that, unlike iPad and iPad 2, Xoom supports SD Card which is to be appreciated. It costs around $799.
Samsung TX100 : Samsung, which is well known for its android mobiles, is the next competitor of iPad 2. Samsung has launched a new 10.1" tablet "TX100" with QWERTY keyboard which slides out from bottom (you don't need to buy an extra keyboard case like with iPad 2). Interestingly, the TX100 is powered by Windows 7 Phone OS. The Samsung TX 100 comes at an affordable price of $700 (single version)
Blackberry PlayBook : Blackberry is number one in terms of Smartphones and now it entered the tablet market with its new "Blackberry PlayBook". It is a 7" touch screen with thickness of 10mm and supports 4G technology. There is no doubt that it stands top among the competitors of iPad 2 with its exciting features. It costs around $699.
LifeBook T730 Tablet PC : LifeBook is a 12.1" tablet that runs on Windows 7 operating system with 2GB RAM and Atom Z670 processor. It has a dual-mode (convertible to either PC mode or Tablet mode). With this unique functionality, the cost will obviously be higher ($1200).
Toshiba Tablet : Toshiba is one of the most recognizable brands when it comes to Laptops. However, Toshiba is now keen in marketing its latest tablet in to the market. The Toshiba tablet is an android based tablet with 10" touch screen and rugged surface. It runs on Android 3.0 operating system. Toshiba states that "the features provided by it will definitely attract the users", which is true. It costs around $580.
All the above tablets have the scope to compete against Apple iPad 2. Though there are other tablets apart from these, we're just listing a few. Hope you liked it!

As stated by many geeks, iPhones and iPads are silently tracking our locations and logging info while we sync our gadgets or backup the files. Another scary thing is that this tracked information is not encrypted and can be accessed by anyone who gets their hands on our devices or laptops (where the data is saved).
The only solution in-front of us is to encrypt the backup and location information with a hacker-proof password so that a third-party person cannot view our details even though he'd got the files.
How to Encrypt iPhone/iPad tracking locations and backup info?
Plug in your iDevice into your computer using the cable and connect to iTunes.
Open the iTunes Menu and select your device.
Scroll down a little until you find the button that says "Encrypt iPhone (or iPad) Backup" and click on it.
Next, enter a strong password.
That's it! Do share your opinion about Apple tracking your information!
iPad being a successful product from Apple has got many excellent apps at Apple App Store. And here is an interesting and useful Apple app for iPad, "Pushme.to HD", the first ever Real-time messaging app for iPad users.
The Pushme.to HD is also useful to exchange free text messages and images with other Pushme.to users. However, iPad 3G versions with iOS 4.2 or later are preferred to use this service.

But if you don't like a particular application and wanted to delete or remove it from your iPad or iPhone or iPod Touch, then follow the steps to do so.
Tap and Hold the application (until it starts to wiggle) that you need to delete.

Apple has released its much awaited iPad 2 yesterday @ San Francisco which was a big success and most of the people watched it online from the Apple website. However, for those who missed the event, Apple has uploaded the entire video streaming on its Youtube channel.
The Apple iPad 2 Launch Event is about 1hr 12Min and it will for sure keep you hooked to your screen.
Finally, the launch of Apple iPad 2 is held at a grand scale in San Francisco. The new iPad is designed in such a way that it fits your hands more easily as it is 33% thinner and upto 15% lighter than the previous model of iPad. Powered by Dual-Core A5 Chip, it has become more powerful in terms of both graphics and battery life. Unlike iPad, the iPad 2 comes with two cameras (front & rear) for FaceTime, HD Video and lots more.
Above all, one great idea of Apple is, introducing iPad Smart Cover which can be easily attached magnetically and aligns perfectly to make it easy to open and close. You can also use it as a Stand for watching movies and typing text by simply folding it.
No USB ports (If no WiFi and 3G is available, then you cannot connect USB Modems to access internet.)
Apple iPad2 will be available in US from March 11, 2010 while it will be made available outside the U.S starting March 25, 2011. Don't expect it in India too early as Apple is using India just to get rid of their Inventory.
iChair is a lightweight, slim and durable 2-in-1 iPad case which doubles as stand. The iPad case offers dual-layer protection. It also can be rotated to adapt to provide the best viewing angle in both landscape as well as portrait modes. Most interesting thing is that it has a pull-out tab for easy typing.
The iChair iPad Case comes with a screen protector, extra slider, squeegee board and also a dust cloth. It is now available in two colors, White and Blue and comes @ $49.
