Yesterday, we told you how a Vietnamese website (Tinhte.vn) had already managed to get hold of the new iPad. The website posted an unboxing video and a number of images of the iPad itself. Now, a series of photographs allegedly taken using the new iPad's camera have hit the website's forums, and as you might expect the quality of the images is pretty good.

New signage suggests the new iPad will officially arrive this Friday at 8 a.m. local time. According to 9 to 5 Mac, Apple is in the process of putting up artwork saying as such at each of the company’s US retail locations.

Apple is in the process of doubling-up the resolution of the many images and graphics on its website, ahead of the availability of its third-generation iPad on Friday. Currently, only the home page and the iPad section of the website have received the treatment, though the company is expected to work its way through the entire website in time.

In a recent Twitter update, Stefen Esser (better known in the jailbreak community as @i0n1c), noted that he'll have Apple's third-generation iPad jailbroken in five days - suggesting that he plans to at least start work on jailbreaking the iOS device as soon as he has one in his hands.

After launching preorders for its third-generation iPad last week, shipping estimates for the new iOS device have been pushed back twice - Apple has sold out of its preorder stock, and new orders are now estimated to ship in two to three weeks.

These diehard fans are a tad early getting in line for the new iPad.

The Retina display is the new iPad's number-one feature, but it's bigger battery may be the most important.

If you want a new iPad by next Friday, you'd better get that preorder in!
