Nope. There is just no other day to sell your iPad 2. If you had followed the iPad 3 rumors lately (well, since last June actually) you would have known that the speculated date of release of the third generation iPad is on March 7. Yes, that just a few days from now. While the confirmation for the release date is yet to come, retail stores are busily cutting off prices for the iPad 2. Even online gadget buying companies are busy these days quoting prices for people who would like to sell used iPad 2 units. This is because of two main reasons. One, the iPad 3 holds a lot of promise based on the rumored specifications sourced from Apple‘s foreign suppliers. Two, the value of the iPad 2 is increasingly becoming duller as time goes by. With a better iPad on the way, prices for lower generations of the iPad 2 are dropping fast.

Pricing trends for the iPads last year proved that the worth of Apple tablets usually dip a few days before the announcement of the newest iPad version. Previous reports and cases have shown that the original iPad‘s resale value decreased significantly two to three weeks before Apple‘s official unveiling of the iPad 2. And since there are a lot of reports about the iPad 3 having much more improvements than the iPad 2, we can safely speculate that the same price trend can happen this year once Apple releases its newest tablet. That being said, we can assume that if the release of the iPad 3 is indeed March 7, then the cost of the iPad 2 will begin to fall dramatically this week and will continue to fall until the iPad 3 hits the market, say by the second week of March. This is because rumors about the product‘s possible features and specs become more widespread in the weeks before its release and thus leave the predecessor with a lower value. We‘ve heard news about the iPad 3‘s superb Retina Display and better cameras; specs that signals a run for your money. 

As the speculated date approaches, Apple product trade ins and secondhand buying websites like Cashforipads.com are flooded with quotation requests for old iPad models which makes the prices drop even lower. If you are planning to sell used iPad models, the best time is now. Reports show that the resale price of the old generation iPad models can lose as much as a quarter of its value in trade after the pricing trends stabilizes. Last month, if you did sell used iPad 2 model in 16GB with Wi-fi and 3G, you would have earned about $400 especially if it was in mint-condition. If you sell used iPad 2 today with the same specifications and conditions, you can get as much as $380. Immediately after the announcement, the prices may drop to $100, depending on the condition of your iPad. If you want to get the best deal for your iPad 2, sell used iPad at Cashforipads.com or Cashforapples.com now!

It’s hard to believe but the iPad 2 has only been released for a year. It seems like it’s been with us forever already. Everyone’s been talking about it since the day it was released.

Even today, everyone is still drooling over the iPad 2. More and more apps are getting released each day and more and more people sign up for an Apple ID. Apple’s hold on the tablet market is tremendous. It seems like even if Apple does release the iPad 3, the iPad 2 will continue to sell well into next year. In fact, an iPad that has been refurbished or just well taken care of can have a resale value of at least $300! That’s an impressive price.

If you don’t remember, Steve Jobs introduced the iPad 2 to the world back in March 2011. Now, people are speculating that the iPad 3 is coming in March, to coincide with the first anniversary of the iPad 2.

There are many reports that say the iPad 3 will arrive in March. The news website www.allthingsd.com reasons that since Apple still isn’t holding an event this February, expect that there will be something in March. Here’s what they had to report on the matter:

“Sources say the company has chosen the first week in March to debut the successor to the iPad 2, and will do so at one of its trademark special events. The event will be held in San Francisco, presumably at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Apple’s preferred location for big announcements like these.”

There are plenty of rumored features of the iPad 3. One of the most notable rumors is that the tablet will feature a screen all the way to the edge. Other speculations to be included on the iPad 3 are a sharper screen resolution with Retina Display, 4G speeds, NFC connection and 3D features.

Will 2012 be the year of the iPad 3? We can only wait and see what Apple has to say. The March event might even be delayed, as the company has recently been under a lot of fire for their labor practices. When the New York Times reported the harsh working environments of Foxconn employees in China, the world took notice. CNN even interviewed an 18 year old employee, describing the working conditions there.

One group even campaigned against the cruel business practices of Apple. It garnered at least 300,000 signatures. Because of tremendous pressure, Apple’s current CEO, Tim Cook took action against these allegations.

He said that he would coordinate with the FLA to conduct audits on their Foxconn suppliers. This will show transparency for Apple, because they’re famously known for being a secretive company. We’ll see an update in the coming weeks regarding this matter.

If you’re waiting for the iPad 3, then it’s just around the corner. If everyone’s hunch is right, then Apple will announce something big in the following months. Expect the world to change again this year.

Samsung is well-known for making Android smartphones and tablets that are very effective, efficient and innovative. They’re very good products that are simply begging to be bought.

Probably Samsung’s most popular smartphone is the Galaxy S II. It has plenty of features that simply rival the iPhone in terms of functionality and features.

But the Galaxy S II has a bigger brother that’s even better – the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. For those who own an iPhone 4s, you know that the Galaxy S II is the definite iPhone rival, but now there’s something even better!

As you’d expect, the Skyrocket has even better features than the S II, which will be explained in a minute. If you think the Skyrocket is just a reiteration of the S II, think again. Samsung manages to offer more than what the S II has to offer.

Here are some defining features of the Skyrocket that will make you sell your iPhone 4S.

Design

You might think that the S II and the Skyrocket is just like the iPhone 4 and 4S – they look the same when put together side by side.

Fortunately, the Skyrocket looks different from the S II. In fact, it’s even bigger! Just when you thought the S II was one of the biggest smartphones, the Skyrocket edges it out.

The Skyrocket is 0.5 mm bigger and 0.1 mm thicker than the S II. The Galaxy S II has a 4.3 inch screen, but the Skyrocket comes in at 4.5 inches! It also has the same Super AMOLED Plus screen used in the S II. That makes the colors of whatever your phone is displaying come to life.

Surprisingly, the smooth edges of the Skyrocket make it easy to hold, making it comfortable despite its size. It’s also fairly light, weighing at only 4.7 ounces.

User Interface

For those who are familiar with Android phones, the Skyrocket will certainly feel at home. It comes in with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. It has everything you’d expect from a top-of-the-line Android smartphone.

It comes with 7 home screens to choose from, and resizable Widgets. Also, there’s a pull-down notification menu where you can toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other features.

What’s impressive is that the Skyrocket also has a task manager, showing you all the active apps, downloaded apps, and memory used. That’s great for those who want to manage the phone and close apps they don’t need, preserving battery life.

Features

The smartphone doesn’t have the ‘Skyrocket’ name for nothing. It’s because the Samsung Skyrocket offers 4G connectivity, while the S II only has 3G. That means you’ll even get faster download speeds. Theoretically, you can have speeds of 21 Mbps. But of course, those speeds depend on where you are right now and what carrier provides 4G services. This service alone is good enough to sell your iPhone 4S.

Google services are also included. Standard apps like Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube and Google Talk are all included. You also get the Google search bar with voice support.

Another Samsung standard included in the package is the Media Hub. You can purchase or rent movies and TV shows and watch them all through your smartphone.

Camera

Just like the S II, the Skyrocket also features an 8 megapixel camera. It takes crystal clear photos. There are also color effects, image editors and other settings that help make your pictures look more beautiful.

It also has the ability to shoot in 1080p HD video. You’re sure to have high quality images and videos to share with your family and friends.

There’s also a front 2 megapixel camera, allowing you to have video chats.

Performance

The Skyrocket features a powerful 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. That definitely makes the touchscreen fast and responsive. Zooming in and out, multitasking and watching videos and other tasks are simply quick.

Conclusion

Sell your iPhone 4S for the Skyrocket instead. It has plenty of features that simply dwarf Apple’s smartphone.

What’s even better is that you can upgrade from the Android Gingerbread to the newest Ice Cream Sandwich! That means you’ll get all of the newest stuff Google has to offer!

            We know that the online world is wild and merciless, and it is now time to assess how the Apple iPad has fared. The latest bits about it say it is already ‘trouble in paradise’.

            Online forums and discussion boards are filled with iPad users complaining about everything from WiFi issues to charging headaches and crashing apps. We have made a compilation of these iPad issues and let the major online publications to give their verdict.

            Now the bashing commences…

1.      Weak Wi-Fi- Product View reports:

"Apple forums and the official support site are jam packed with user complaints all related to weak WiFi signal problem. One user, Andrew79, wrote in to an Apple forum with a typical complaint, saying, "My signal keeps fluctuating from strong to weak, while my MacBook and iPhone show a consistent signal at the same location."

2.      Charging issues- The Times explains:

“New reports suggested that the iPad may not power up properly when connected to some USB ports. Users also complained that the iPad would only charge if turned off or in sleep mode." Yahoo's tech blogger shared his personal charging woes, explaining, "when I plugged my new iPad into my MacBook Pro and saw the "Not charging" message next to the iPad's battery icon." (MacWorld offers tips on how to charge your iPad.)”

3.      Crashing Apps- The Times elaborates:

“iPhone apps are frequently crashing when loaded onto the iPad. Yahoo's Ben Patterson adds, "I've been hearing a series of complaints about iPad apps crashing repeatedly; the culprits run the gamut, ranging from games and the Netflix and ABC streaming video players to apps for the New York Times and TIME magazine."

4.      Typing Headaches- Gizmodo opines:

“The iPad can be clunky when it comes to writing with the device. Dave Winer writes on his blog, "None of my writing tools are there. Not just the ones I use to enter keystrokes into the computer, and edit and revise them, but also the tools I use for finding information I want to reference in my stories. ... It's definitely not a writing tool. Out of the question. It's pretty clear that typing is a secondary function for the iPad."

5.      Sluggish Syncing- PCWorld explains:

"Time spent syncing is ridiculously sluggish. Some users say that syncing their iPads gobbles up 30-plus minutes -- others claim four or more hours, with one user saying they lost seven hours. This begs the question: what's the point in buying a tablet that won't let you play with it?" Users on the Apple forum report that syncing the iPad often freezes iTunes: "iTunes recognizes the iPad fine, but as soon as I click the sync apps check box, iTunes freezes.”

6.      A College Kid Disappointed with the iPad

“Overall, the iPad is way more of a letdown then anybody in the media has been reporting it as. Pretty sure they were all paid off.
I got one of the iPads with a defunct Wi-Fi chip, so my Wi-Fi has been crappy.
Also, I bought it to ready content (mostly pdfs) from my classes as they move to being more web based. Viewing pdfs is horrendous. It's slow, you can't save them, take notes, highlight, and you have to be online to view them for the most part.
I hate the iphone app emulator! It makes apps barely usable with the emulated keyboard.
I also bought it for the netflix app, which crashes and navigates poorly. Awesome!
Not a fan, probably just going to return mine and turn my MacBook sideways.”

I bet these testimonies convince you that your iPad no matter how beautiful it is, is anything but perfect.
