Everyone knows that the next generation iPad is coming, but will Apple skip past the iPad 3 and go straight for iPad 4G?
The Wall Street Journal has reported that the newest iPad will feature 4G LTE technology, which will enable it to the faster networks on Verizon and AT&T.
It’s still speculation at this point, but it seems rather likely that Apple will capitalize on its carrier’s 4G networks.

Sources say that Apple has scheduled an event in early March to unveil the newest iPad, and many are speculating that it will be available for purchase a week or so after the event.
The iPad has definitely been a game-changer in the home automation field, and it’ll be exciting to see what changes have been made in the newest iteration.

Amazon certainly seems to have the right idea on how to sell their new tablet, the Kindle Fire, in the age of Apple: a $199 price tag. A year ago, Jeff Bezos stated that he felt people would buy the Kindle e-reader because it didn’t have Angry Birds. He reasoned that Kindle customers want books and iPad users want to throw cartoon canaries at pigs. Completely different audience.
Turns out, a lot of people want both, and the Kindle Fire delivers in that respect and more. The device’s full specs and feature list are up on Amazon, and I predict that it’ll make a big splash this holiday season as once tablet-weary consumers decide to take a chance on it.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any touch screen designs so I thought it was time to share a couple…
We have had a lot of requests for the Paradise theme below. This is a clean and calming design that puts the features you use right on the home page. This eliminates many of the buttons and options and boils the interface down to the buttons you will use everyday.
Here’s Paradise:

Our other creation, Glow, takes the same idea but gives it a totally different spin. The bright neon colors and frosted glass panels make the touch screen irresistable to touch…
Here’s Glow:
