Rumors of a mini iPad with a 7 inch screen have been floating around for quite some time now. Despite the late Steve Jobs being very vocal against a 7 inch tablet, citing hampered usability as a major concern, Apple is yet again rumored to have a 7.85 inch tablet in their labs. Of course a lot of companies have a lot of stuff in their labs that never really sees the light of day. But with more and more companies joining the 7″ tablet bandwagon, we might see a change of heart from Apple regarding this form factor.

Most of you social media bugs have been amassed by the issue of receiving unnecessary phone calls and text messages in the middle of the night, ruining your beauty sleep. Well, a developer on the iOS platform has come up with a solution to get rid of the problem. Yes there’s an app for that.

Ever since Apple announced the new iPad, it has been met with overwhelmingly positive response from reviewers and user alike. However just like any new product launch, some kinks always remain and this being an Apple product launch, those kinks are highlighted ever so magnanimously. One of such issues was regarding the heat dissipation of the new iPad compared to iPad 2. Because Apple is using largely the same chassis, the new quad core GPU along with the battery, which is also twice as large, some amount of increased heat output was to be expected. And before you knew it, the world wide web was littered with news regarding this. So much so that it seemed as if the new iPad was destined for failure. Not quite though, at-least according to this survey carried out by ChangeWave.

After making you work your fingers work to the bone with painful achievements on the PC and XBOX 360 Team Mate is taking their meat to a new frontier, while the idea of a mobile version was probably not in the head of Team Meat upon the games release it certainly seems that they have come around and realized that maybe Meat Boy on a handheld iOS device might not be the worst idea after all, And no this is definitely NOT an April Fool’s Joke.

Normally I don’t keep track of patents and trademarks, possibly because of the sheer amount of them and also because rarely does any of these ever see the actual light of day. However this new notification system Apple has filed a trademark for may well end up in your iDevice in the near future. The patent Apple has filed for basically attempts at giving your more information as far as your notifications is concerned.

Despite the heat and battery issues, the new iPad has seen the second most successful launch amongst all Apple products with nearly 3 million units sold in just four days. However there is a small country down under that goes by the name Australia, where a lot of people feel duped into buying the new iPad by Apple’s misleading advertisement. The issue relates to how Apple advertises the new iPad as being 4G compatible. While that is true for cellular networks in USA, it doesn’t quite translate that well for Australian networks, especially Telstra. Simply put it does not support Telstra’s LTE network due to whatever the limitations are. Users will obviously not get the speed they would have hoped for from a 4G compatible device and they’re quite rightly not that swelled with Apple regarding this.

The unveiling of the new iPad has certainly gotten the tech world buzzing. With comparisons being made against the top tier Android tablets, no one yet knows how much RAM the new iPad has and whether the CPU has gotten any speed bumps or not. Luckily someone in Vietnam has gotten his hands rather early on the new iPad and was kind enough to run Geekbench.
