If you’re getting a new iPad, consider a warranty

As a little public service announcement, I wanted to point out that you can get a warranty for your new iPad 3 for cheaper than Applecare.  Squaretrade is currently offering warranties for as low as $59.

Applecare has been $79 (slightly less at Amazon) BUT Apple has just raised renamed it Applecare + for iPads and raised the price to $99.  My advice–pick up a copy of Applecare from a retailer while you still can before the stock runs out.  Apple will honor the extended warranty and you’ll get a good deal while supplies last.

The New iPad, the (old and) new camera

The internet is buzzing with anticipation of the newest (generation three) iPad. This site is primarily focused on Facetime & video chat technology, so let’s hit this highlight first. The big news from Apple in relation to the new iPad is that they have specified that the front-facing camera is officially the “Facetime” camera, while the back-facing (higher-quality 5 Megapixel) camera is now called the iSight camera.

Although the new iSight camera is the same super-awesome camera in the iPhone 4S, the Facetime camera is still the same old VGA (low-res) camera we’ve become so accustomed to.
