Upgrade Apple Tablet - iPad with 128GB Internal Storage

Upgrade your Apple Tablet to the Latest iPad with 128GB Internal Storage: The Apple Surprise: a 128GB iPad - CashforiPads Asks, Will an iPad With Expanded Storage Erase Apple’s Recent Slips?
Since bursting into the scene, 120 million iPads have been sold. With the Apple new product introduction cycle increased to twice from once a year and the company introducing a smaller 7-inch iPad, CashforiPads asks, will a regular-sized iPad with expanded storage be a hit in the market and continue Apple's dominance?



This year,Apple not only announced a new version of the iPad with 128GB of internal storage way earlier than expected, but released it on February 5, only four months after the 4th generation iPad was introduced. We at CashforiPads think the closest and most plausible explanation behind this unexpected move would be the rather lackluster performance of the latest Apple releases, particularly, the iPhone 5. A report on January 14 by Reuters claimed that Apple has been reducing its component orders for the iPhone 5 from Japanese suppliers because, because according to Japan's Nikkei, the demand for the smartphone have not been as robust as expected, causing the company's stock to plummet.

The big question now is whether this enhanced version will something the customers would like. So far, CashforiPads thinks the only downside to the iPad’s additional storage is the steeper price for the unit. The suggested retail price for this new version is $799 for Wi-Fi only and $929 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. This is expensive for most users who do not have the extra cash. Other than that, the 128GB iPad is flawless because it is basically an iPad 4 with expanded storage.

Then again, the seemingly hefty price tag of the iPad with 128GB storage should not be a problem for those who want to upgrade their current Apple tablet. Refurbishment sites like CashforiPads.com give top dollar for old gadgets. The proceeds of the quick and convenient transaction, plus just a few hundred dollars could easily be used to buy that pricey iPad with expanded storage.

On the other hand, according to Apple, people are finding more reasons to use their iPads for work, school, entertainment or play. IPads are light, fast to boot up, and easy to use. The best thing about tablet PCs is that they offer the mobility many people find important nowadays.

As for the expanded 128GB storage capacity, CashforiPads thinks this is definitely a great addition to the already powerful iPad. With this extra memory, users can store as many movies, photos, music files, and documents they want without worrying about the processing speed of the gadget. Those whose work entails a lot of graphics or music will really be happy with this new iPad.

iCookbook Hit Tablet App for Cooks Now Available on HP TouchPad

iCookbook App Now Available on HP TouchPad - Publications International launches the latest version of their hit tablet app for cooks, iCookbook, onto the new HP TouchPad

The iCookbook app is now available on the HP TouchPad. The highlight app for anyone who spends time in the kitchen, iCookbook for HP webOS from Publications International includes more than 2,000 recipes from some of the top food brands in the world, and includes features that make it a great sit-on-the-counter meal planning and preparation app.

The unique capabilities of webOS, such as TouchPad’s enhanced navigation methods, enabled PIL to add custom experiences to iCookbook. For example, iCookbook leverages a multi-panel view in the “Prepare” display that makes access to information easier and more intuitive.

PIL has been publishing cookbooks for forty years and sells more than 9 million cookbooks each year. Its team of cooking experts have worked for more than a year on iCookbook and developed it from the perspective of a home cook. “We saw when we were creating iCookbook that many of the recipe apps were not well-suited for use in the kitchen. They were simply recipe and meal planners,” said Jerry Croft, President of the Cooking Division and Digital Media at PIL. “With iCookbook, we started from actual food preparation and worked backwards, looking at what the home cook would need at each step.”

Friend Me is a free application with no advertising, available for download now from Android Market.

Just like everybody else, I want apps that do what they promise, do it well, and without a lot of aggravation.”

With the breadth of applications for small/medium electronic devices, such as mobile phones, digital still cameras, portable and automotive navigation devices, as well as e-book readers and tablet PCs, the industry is currently expecting healthy growth by adding and improving features of the devices.

According the DisplaySearch Quarterly Small/Medium Shipment and Forecast Report, small/medium active matrix flat panel displays, including TFT LCDs, AMOLEDs, and AMEPDs, experienced strong growth for a variety of applications as a result of improved display technologies. 2010 shipments grew 23% Y/Y, to 1.89 billion, due to increased demand in applications such as smart phones, commoditized digital photo frames, as well as navigation devices and multi-functional displays in automotive monitors.

“The ability of smart phones to offer consumers more functionality is putting pressure on display manufacturers to incorporate more advanced features,” noted Hiroshi Hayase, DisplaySearch’s Vice President of Small/Medium Display Research. “As a result, the requirements for small/medium displays are shifting toward higher resolution and contrast, as well as wider-viewing angles, which are needed to enable advanced features for the transition from feature phones to smart phones, and from compact DSCs to high-performance detachable lens DSCs.
