The iPad 2 features a new A5 Chip incorporating Dual-core processors and up to 9X faster graphics. While the specs have been bumped up, the device still occupies the same low power as the original iPad and the battery life remains the same 10 hours.

Another new feature is the HDMI video out which provides output upto 1080p. You can also charge while using the HDMI out.

Apple has also announced new apps such as FaceTime which will allow you to call other iPad 2 owners or even your iPhone 4 pals. iMovie and GarageBand were the other 2 apps to be revealed, each costing $4.99.

Despite all the changes in the new iPad, the price still remains the same at $499 for the 16GB WiFi model.

The new iPad will start shipping on March 11 in the US and in 26 countries or more on March 25.

Steve Jobs just announced the highly anticipated Apple iPhone 4. This latest offering from Apple brings in a slew of new features including a new design, high resolution display, video chat and much more.

The new design certainly looks great. The front and back are optical glass, which is far more scratch resistant. A steel band rings the phone around its perimeter. It is 24 percent thinner than the iPhone 3GS, making it the thinnest iPhone yet.

The 960-by-640 Retina display boasts a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution phone screen ever.

The iPhone 4 has a 5MP camera with HD video recording. It also has a LED flash. There’s also a camera on the front which is perfect for making FaceTime calls.

The latest iPhone will come with the iOS 4 which boasts loads of new features including multi-tasking.

The wait is over. The Apple iPad is finally here. Engadget recently reviewed the device and it seems to have impressed these guys.

Design:
The bulk of iPad’s surface is taken up by a 9.7-inch, 1024 x 768, capacitive, multitouch LED-backlit display surrounded by a glossy black bezel. There’s only Apple’s signature “home” button to interact with, and the back of the device is all aluminium.

Display:
Apple’s 9.7-inch LED backlit IPS display does not disappoint. Colors on the screen are vibrant and saturated, while blacks feel true and deep.

OS/UI:
iPad’s interface is nearly identical in every way to the iPhone or iPod touch UI. You have pages and pages made up of grids of icons, a dock for your favorite apps (up to six), and a persistent status bar which displays the time and other information.

Included Applications:
> Mobile Safari
> iBooks
> Calendar/Contacts
> Mail
> iTunes / iBookstore / App Store
> Video / iPod / YouTube
> iWork suite

Battery life:
The battery life is excellent and it turns out to be what Apple claims – around 10 hours.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently revealed MacBook’s updated version. The update brings new features to the laptop including Nvidia graphics, a glass multitouch trackpad, solid state drives, LED backlit display, a thinner casing, a bit of price reduction and more cool features.

1. Price Factor: The first-generation iPhone was for sure innovative. It also was an expensive gadget. The initial 8GB and 16GB models sold off for $599 and $699 respectively. The prices dropped as time passed but still many didn’t buy it. Now with the latest iPhone on it’s way, you spend significantly less money to get the device. The 8GB version will now sell for $199 and the 16GB will sell for $299. The price drop will put Apple’s smartphone into the reach of many more consumers.

2. 3G Capability: If you use your mobile phone for Web activities, then 3G is certainly an aid for you. The first-generation iPhone didn’t support the 3G connectivity but with the latest version coming, 3G is at your footsteps. According to Apple, 3G will enable you to load Web pages up to 2.8 times faster. That’s surely a big help for mobile web users.

3. Better International Support: From a user-removable SIM card to a multilingual keyboard that can be changed, new features in this model make it much more viable for international use. Wether you want to swap out your SIM card, or need to access the Web while you are abroad, this model proves to be better than the original.

The iPhone 3G eliminates some of the features and capabilities that were missing from Apple’s initial cell phone. But everyone will not want or need to buy an iPhone 3G as Apple will be realeasing an iPhone 2.0 software upgrade, which will be free to all first-generation iPhone users.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs had discussed about “Apple TV Take Two” at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco last month in January. The recent major upgrade to the software that takes care of Apple’s TV convergence device offers a wide array of new and exciting features, like the ability to buy and download music and videos directly from the iTunes store instead of having to access a Mac or PC first.

A new feature in the Apple TV now is that it supports movie rentals through the iTunes Store. This new service was even put forward last month. It permits iTunes users to download movies and watch them for $2.99 – $4.99 depending on the video quality and how fresh the movie release was.

Another new thing that this release brings with it is access to photostreams hosted on the leading photo sharing service Flickr, as well as photostreams hosted as .Mac Web Galleries.

The new features are available to the existing Apple TV users as a free upgrade. The new Apple TV units are coming with these updates already installed and are even being sold for $70 less than they were a few weeks ago. The price tag on the 40GB model is $229 and that on the 160GB version is $329.

This software update finishes the confusion regarding it’s release. Apple CEO told that the update would be available in February. An announcement by Apple later on 30th January made it clear that it would be “another week or two” for Apple TV’s new software.
