MacTop Electronics claim crystal case for iPad 2nd generation

A Chinese company, Shenzhen MacTop Electronics, is claiming to have what could be the first second-generation iPad case for sale. Simply labeled Crystal Case for iPad 2nd Generation, the case is only available in bulk wholesale orders starting at 1,000 units. MacTop touts the accessory as "precision molded" to "perfectly fit your iPad," even though Apple has not formally announced the device, or likely even put it into production.
While mostly non-descript, the case has an unusual hole in the upper-left side. The placement is however consistent with camera holes in cases for the iPhone and fourth-generation iPod touch, indicating that MacTop assumes the next iPad will indeed have a rear-facing camera. The tablet is widely expected to at least have a front-facing camera, enabling FaceTime calls as on Macs, iPhones and Touches. Space for a front camera exists in the first-generation iPad's underlying frame.
The source of MacTop's design information is unknown. Shenzhen is home to the largest factory belonging to Foxconn, which is expected to continue building iPads with the second-generation model. MacTop could conceivably have acquired leaked data from one of the over 200,000 Foxconn workers based in Shenzhen.

iPad 2 is coming by the end of February 2011

The sources pointed out that the iPad 2 will ship as soon as the end of February in 2011. Apple originally planned to start mass production in January, but because the device's firmware is currently still in testing, Apple has been postponing the schedule. Since Foxconn's new plants in Chengdu are still in pilot production, iPad 2 will be mainly supplied by its Shenzhen plants, while the company's upstream component partners have all been notified of the shipments schedule.

Apple White iPhone 4 Will Come Spring 2011 Certainly

The wait for the hallowed white iPhone 4 is almost over. The above signage is apparently going up in Apple stores around the country, and most notably includes verbiage that says “Coming Spring 2011″ next to said iPhone color — white. While we were told back in October after the nth delay that spring was the next target, having actual proof is always reassuring.

It’s kind of funny when you think about it — the entire tech media world has been captivated by a simple color hue on a plastic casing for a phone…

iPod/iPhone/iPad Transfer & Backup Software Reviews

This Software reviews is about alternative software applications (besides iTunes) to manage iPod/iPhone/iPad contents. It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac). Although according to Apple, iTunes is supposed to be the primary manager of all iPods and iPhones, other software has been created that can be used to sync or update iPods and iPhones with different media, often to work around restrictions in iTunes - for example, if a user transfers music to an iPod using iTunes, they cannot transfer the music from the iPod to another computer (or even the same computer after reinstalling the operating system).

The worst limitation of iTunes is that it transfers data only from iTunes to iPod and iPhone, but not the other way around. Additionally, your iPhone is bound to one iTunes library and cannot be synchronized with another PC without deleting the iPhone's contents first. After a PC crash, data loss, or simply if you want to create a Backup of your iPod & iPhone it can be necessary to transfer music, videos and more from your iPod back to the PC.

To do so, you will need third party Backup Tools presented below.
