Apple's iPad 2 sales for tablets
Apple's iPad 2 sales for tablets - Apple's iPad 2 Turning lead into gold may be little more than a dream, but Apple seems to have mastered the alchemy of turning an iPad containing components reportedly worth a little more than $300 into gold. With the release of the iPad 2, consumers lined up outside of Apple Stores waiting to get their hands on the company's newest tablet.
Apple's continued ability to move iPads is nothing short of impressive. Although it's easy to forget, prior to the iPad being released, skeptics questioned whether there was a need for tablet computing devices altogether. Even many who are less skeptical wondered where tablets would fit in.
But the iPad 2 number worth looking at most may not be total sales. More important, perhaps, is the number of sales to new iPad owners. Global Equities Research sees 60% of the new iPads being sold to owners of the original device, yet a 236-person survey conducted by Piper Jaffray found that 70% of the buyers polled were new iPad owners.
Clearly, only one of these figures is accurate, and which one is incredibly important. Despite the phenomenal adoption of the iPad, which is currently 'the' tablet, the overall market for the devices is still relatively small in the overall scheme of things.
With billions of computers/laptops and mobile phones in circulation, one has to ask: just how big can and will the tablet market grow?
If the iPad 2 is being snapped up primarily by existing iPad owners, the pie of tablet owners may not be growing as rapidly as one might expect given the media hoopla. On the other hand, if Apple's breakneck sales of the newest version are driven by strong demand from first-time owners, it would appear that the tablet pie is growing nicely.

Infinity Blade 2 (iOS) Review
Infinity Blade 2 (iOS) Review - The 3D duel-fest is back, and attempting to answer some of the questions left over from its first installment (and a few major updates). Infinity Blade has had a huge effect on promoting the iPad and iPhone as valid gaming options, with high quality visuals and intuitive touchscreen controls. Well, Epic hasn't tampered with the formula too much, but has tried to instill some considered expansions and pour even more eye-honey all over it. Will it stretch gamers beyond the original? We've now spent a fair bit of time slashing away at those pesky immortals and their underlings -- see what we thought of this little big adventure after the break.
I am eager to play Infinity Blade 2 on my iphone 4, and i just get the ios 5 update. Is it available to download Infinity Blade 2 on ios 5 now? if yes, where should i go to download it?
I just tried playing this on my iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.3, everything seems perfect, but there is no light shafts Infinity Blade 2 iOS 4.3.3? Any fix?
Journeying around the stages of Infinity Blade 2 will take you from oriental temples with plenty of eastern style licks, to what appears to be the increasingly ruined locale of the first game. They've cranked up the light effects here, so expect to be impressed all over again if you were wowed by the original. Granted, it can't stun players with the same "a phone's capable of this?" sort of way, but the game is noticeably sharper, taking full advantage of the high-resolution screens of the Apple hardware.
Galaxy Nexus for Verizon LTE
Galaxy Nexus for Verizon LTE - Galaxy Nexus for Verizon LTE unbolting and speed test. The Galaxy Nexus has landed on Verizon today and I have been using one for a few hours. While the phone has been available in the EU for a while, the Verizon version is the only one currently available in the U. S. It is state-of-the-art in every way, including operating on the 4G LTE network of Verizon. I haven’t had it in my hands long enough to offer a detailed review, but have formed some first impressions about the Galaxy Nexus that are worth sharing. The Verizon Nexus arrived with Android 4.0.1 pre-installed, but prompted us to update to 4.0.2 just a few minutes after we added a Google account.
The elusive Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus is finally here. We dropped by a New York City retail store to try out Google's first Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone in the flesh, before bringing one home for a proper unboxing and LTE performance test. Don't get me wrong: Verizon's Galaxy Nexus is still a sleek and attractive phone. It's just slightly less sleek than its non-LTE sibling.
