Tech Specs: iPad 2, Xoom, Touchpad & Playbook Compared

Tech Specs: iPad 2, Xoom, Touchpad & Playbook Compared

Steve Jobs was very clear, on Wednesday, that trying to compare the iPad to anything else, especially using only spec sheets, doesn't make much sense. He's got a point, as there is so much more to the iPad 2 than the raw specifications.

AT&T To Restrict iPhone 4 Hotspot Feature

We were all thrilled when AT&T announced that they will allow iPhone 4 users to take advantage of the upcoming iOS 4.3 Wi-Fi tethering feature (for $20/month).

Verizon iPhone Mostly Selling To Existing iOS Users?

Verizon iPhone Mostly Selling To Existing iOS Users?

We're still very much in the dark as to how well the recently released CDMA iPhone is selling on Verizon. We know it sold out on the first day, and that it beat Verizon's sales record in just two hours on pre-order launch day (between 3 and 5am EST). We also heard that it might be slightly underperforming. Apple has yet to release a statement on actual sales, and most importantly, we don't know who is buying the device.
