What do you mean now going? You need to reread the article for dates.

It's not new either, didn't they go after android? Which is why it's called google play?

Ohh sweet the html5 version of the groove shark website finally works on my iPad. For some reason it didn't work on iOS5 for me.

And I can browse away from the page and safari and still hear the music


No mobile subscription needed either

If Apple wins that stupid 'app store' lawsuit, I'm going to trademark the term 'car dealership' and sue every car dealership out there.

So which dealer out there is using the term "Car Dealership" as their store name? Most use the name of the dealership and the make of the cars they sell.

ie..., Browns Nissan... Sheehy Ford...

if I try viewing a 1920px image on a Ipad3, what happens to it? Does it upscale the image to 2048px or keep it 100% size (black border around it)? thanks

yea i just checked, it scales it up. a 667x444 image gets scaled up. does not look good.

so just save your images as 2048-by-1536 to avoid the problem

or whatever ratio you want, just keep the big end as 2048. it will show a black bar if the ratio is wider than the iPad ratio.

well from 1920 to 2048, i dont think it would make that much of a difference. should still look nice.

that pic that stunna posted looks ok on it and that is 1280x960.

anyways yea, you should look at it in person and judge.

I'm wondering if the iPad mini is worth the wait. I'm was about to buy a Nexus 7, but decided not too just because of this.

iPad mini rumored to be priced at $329

At thy price (depending on the internals) why not spend $70 and get a new iPad 2?

The iPad 4 would have be really tricked out to get me to buy another one anytime soon.

iPads are too expensive to swap out every year.

It will be very tempting if the updated iPad has the guts of the iPhone5.

Apple releasing lighting to USB/Sd card reader and VGA/HDMI adapters.

Also a 12 watt power adaptor for the iPad to charge faster.
