The creative marketing gurus over at Cupertino HQ’s have done it again. No one can doubt the impact the iPad has had in numerous industries. Ranging from healthcare, education, business and leisure, the iPad has countless applications and many more yet to be discovered.

The recent ad featuring the iPad 2 is entitled ‘Learn’. It focuses on learning, curiosity and learning whilst displaying some of the limitless applications of Apple’s Tablet. With that, I will let you watch the video and let the advertisement wash over you.

In order to meet the expected surge in demand for Apple’s coveted tablet in this holiday season, Foxconn is said to te reportedly ship an enourmous 20 Million iPad 2 units in the coming quarter.  The mentioned figure seems huge, especially if you take into account the fact that in the last quarter, Apple had said that it had shipped a whopping 9.25 million units alone.

When the iPad 2 was first launched, Apple struggled to meet demand and its production suppliers faced many struggles to manufacture the required number of units. Apple has since then learnt from its mistakes and so has its production suppliers, and shipments for the coming quarter appear to be set for record breaking levels. Sales of the Apple Tablet have enjoyed constantly surging demand throughout the year and continue to do so till the anticipated launch of the 3^rd Generation of the iPad.

Elgato is a well-known manufacturer of TV tuner cards for your Mac ecosystem at home. It has recently also launched an app that allows you to stream TV content to your iPad but that is only if the content is being broadcasted online on your home network. So basically if you are away from your home network, you cannot view the broadcasted channels on your iPad. To work around this problem, Elgato has created a mobile dongle that attaches directly to your iPad’s dock connector and pulls live TV through its miniature telescopic aerial, they call it the Elgato Eye TV Mobile. Essentially, the benefit of using this accessory is that you will not need an internet connection to view live TV. You get unlimited live TV on your iPad 2 without touching your data plan.

To use the Eye TV Mobile Dongle you will need to download an app from the Apple App Store, for free of course, which will allows you to access live TV channels through the dongle. You also have the ability to record the live streams and save them to your library to view again at a later time. The EyeTV Mobile will be available by the end of September and will set you back roughly $163.

iPad keyboard combo cases have been around for quite a while now. To be frank, not all of them are very well thought out and just do not match up to the premium build and feel of the iPad, until now.

One look at this premium keyboard case and you will realize that it was meant to create an illusion of a unified product with your iPad, making the combo feel like an exquisitely build netbook.

Rumor has it that following the recent strings of legal spats between Apple and the Korean electronics Giant, there is a very strong possibility that this time around, Samsung will not be a part of Apple’s supply chain.

The much anticipated iPad 3 is anticipated to go into production as early as October and most probably without Samsung. Prior to the seemingly endless lawsuits, several of which have been won by Apple, Samsung was a key supplier to Apple and provided iPad displays.

Apple has reportedly lined up a deal with LG, which currently is providing displays for the iPad 2, to be one of the display suppliers for the iPad 3. Also, Apple is in the process of finalizing a $1 billion deal with Sharp, which we anticipate is a prepayment for the iPad 3’s display.

The guts of the iPad 3 will most likely feature the new A6 chip, developed by Apples in house production. Assembly for the iPad 3 will most likely continue with Foxconn. However, a second assembler, Pegatron Corp. will also reportedly pick up production of the iPad 3. Looks like Apple has learnt from its past mistakes and this time around will make sure to have a healthy supply of iPad 3 units available to meet the enormous demand.
