iPad 3 Cases and Covers… will the old iPad 2 cases be compatible?

By

Well, the iPad 3 is undoubtedly coming out sometime early this 2012 year. Reports and rumors are swirling all over the place about what it will feature. Here at iPadAccessories.com we are most concerned with what the iPad 3 will look like, and what cases and covers will work for it! There have been some rumors that indicate the iPad 3 will be thinner than the current version and will feature advanced IGZO panels which will allow it to be thinner, have a sharper display, and consume less power. However, more persistent rumors seem to indicate that the iPad 3 will be slightly thicker by 1mm to accommodate an extra light bar to power the display. What does that mean for us case and cover fanatics? Will our old iPad cases be compatible?
According to a recent report from Macotakara.jp:
Because this production line has started, detailed form-factor of next iPad were flowed to accessory makers, then some company confirmed that cases which fits for iPad 2 without gap can’t fit for next iPad. Though this source told “front rounding corner will be same with current iPad, then Smart Cover will be good companion with new iPad macotakara”, magnets for fixing Smart Cover will be placed on different position.
So, if you’ve got a tight fitting case right now, you may be out of luck if the next iPad 3 ends up being thicker after all. However, the smart cover and all the smart cover clones out there should still work with the next generation iPad regardless of the size. If the iPad 3 ends up being thinner…well then that’s anybodies guess!
We’ll keep you up to date on any new iPad 3 accessory related news as always! Stay tuned!

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...
