Second generation iPad may include gyroscope

Second generation iPad may include gyroscope According to EE Times, the second generation of the iPad is going to get something that it was meant to have the first time. Like the iPhone 4, the second gen will most likely be fitted with a three-axis gyroscope. The current iPad even has a space for the gyroscope chip, but not the same one that is in the iPhone 4.

That's what you got your iPad for in the first... Read more »

Apple lands rights to special alloy; stronger, lighter iPads on the way?

Apple lands rights to special alloy; stronger, lighter iPads on the way? According to a report by Apple Insider, Jobs&Co have just secured the exclusive rights to an incredibly light and durable metal alloy. (Any comic nerds hoping for Adamantium may be disappointed, I don't think it really exists. Plus I'm sure it's taken from ore and not formed out of more than one pre-existing metal.)
