Old Apple Smart Covers Don't Work With New iPad
The Smart Cover, unveiled concurrently with the iPad 2 in 2011, is a thin case that snaps magnetically to the iPad's side and covers the iPad's display without hiding its back. When the Smart Cover is over the screen, the iPad's display automatically goes dark; when the Smart Cover is removed, the display turns back on. Now, on the day that Apple was awarded a patent for this technology, some iPad 3 owners, like Chris Taylor of Mashable, as well as multiple posters on the Apple Discussion Forums, are reporting that their older Smart Covers cannot shut off the display nor illuminate it on their new iPads.

Walmart to begin selling new iPad at 12:01AM tomorrow
Walmart on Thursday announced that while Apple Stores won’t open until 8:00 a.m. local time to hawk what little launch-day inventory they manage to obtain, Walmart stores across the country will begin selling new iPads eight hours earlier at 12:01 a.m. Stock is likely to be extremely limited if history has taught us anything, but heading over to your local Walmart at midnight is definitely better than the alternative.

Apple’s new iPad have 1GB of RAM, 1Ghz CPU speed
Tinhte.vn ran a Geekbench benchmark to test Apple's new iPad, the test confirmed that Apple’s new tablet has 1GB of RAM and an ARMv7 dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz, the same speed as the iPad 2. The new iPad earned an overall Geekbench score of 756, similar to its predecessor, with its strongest results coming from the “Floating Point” and “Memory” tests, which were 915 and 815 respectfully. It should be noted, however, that the Geekbench test merely tests the CPU and does not examine the device’s graphics capabilities. Apple’s A5X chip features a quad-core GPU, which Apple claims is four times more powerful than NVIDIA’s Tegra 3.
Adobe announced Photoshop Touch for iPad $9,99
Adobe on Monday announced the latest addition to its iOS software
lineup. The company’s Photoshop Touch app for the iPad hit Apple’s iOS
App Store a little early over the weekend before being pulled, but now
Adobe’s highly anticipated image editing software is back for good.
While the iPad version of the app isn’t nearly as robust as Photoshop
for Windows and OS X, Photoshop Touch does feature a number of advanced
capabilities similar to those found in Adobe’s desktop software,
including layer support, a variety of editing tools and even the ability
to extract objects from within an image. ”People will be amazed with
what they can create on the iPad using Photoshop Touch,” David Wadhwani,
SVP of Adobe’s Digital Media Business Unit, said in a statement.
“Photoshop Touch combines the magic of Photoshop and its core features
with the convenience of a tablet, bringing image-editing power to the
fingertips of millions of people.” Photoshop Touch for the iPad is
available in Apple’s App Store immediately for $9.99.
Chinese firm looks to block iPad sales across the globe
On Monday, Chinese officials seized 45 iPads in response to a trademark complaint from Proview International, the owner of the “iPad” name in China. Proview has now asked the Chinese government to block the import and export of the popular tablet, reports Bloomberg. “We are applying to customs to stop any trademark- infringing products from imports to China and also for exports,” said Roger Xie, a lawyer representing Proview. “Apple wants to postpone and continue infringement of the iPad in China.” Apple maintains that it has purchased rights to the iPad name in 10 countries from Proview, including in China. “Proview refuses to honor their agreement with Apple in China,” said Carolyn Wu, Apple’s Beijing-based spokeswoman. “Our case is still pending in mainland China.” The iPad is manufactured by Foxconn in Brazil and in China, so an export ban on the popular tablet would have significant ramifications for Apple.

iOS 5 already jailbroken using Limera1n
Everyone’s favorite muscle-bound nerd brought iOS fans great news on Tuesday: iOS 5 has already been jailbroken. The Dev Team’s “MuscleNerd” posted on Twitter that he has successfully jailbroken Apple’s iOS 5 software using Limera1n.
