One of the biggest frustrations that iPad owners have had is that with the latest OS upgrade Apple has completely done away with the ability of the device to display stored lyrics from iTunes in the music player when playing music (not to mention that the music player generally now sucks – more on that in a moment). What do we mean by display lyrics stored in iTunes? What, you didn’t know that you can add lyrics to your songs in iTunes, and have them display when you are playing your music? Well now you do (by following that link)! And here’s how have those iTunes stored lyrics display on your iPad while you are playing music.

By now you may already know that the iPad 3 is out, but what you probably really want to know is how it’s different from the iPad 2. Is it really worth spending the money to buy an iPad 3 when you have a perfectly good (and still relatively new) iPad 2, or even iPad 3G or original iPad? Well, that depends on what you use your iPad for – for example, the dictation software is incredible, but that may not be that important to you. So, to learn the major differences, read on.

Believe it or not, nearly two weeks after the iPad 2 launch (release date was March 11), many Apple stores are still out of the iPad 2! Or, more correctly, they are getting them in in dribs and drabs, with long lines queueing starting at 6:00 a.m. (!), and any new supply of iPad 2s selling out within minutes of the Apple store opening 3 hours later. Here is our experience being in the Apple line, and getting our iPad 2, and our first thoughts and observations on the iPad 2, the “Smart Cover” (hate it!), and the iPad 2 case that we love.

If you are wanting to buy an Apple iPad2, and want to get your new iPad2 from an authorized dealer of the 2nd generation iPad (and avoid paying the extortionist prices that some individuals are charging for a new Apple iPad 2 – we saw one person on Craigslist selling a white iPad 2 for $1800!), then you may be frusted that every single iPad next generation authorized dealer is out of the new iPad 2, and that nobody can tell you when they will get their next shipment (and if you want to order your new iPad 2 from Apple, online, they are quoting a 2-3 week wait). What’s more, nobody will hold one for you. Or, will they? Here’s a nifty little secret to secure yourself a new iPad 2, whether you want a black iPad 2, a white iPad 2, a wifi-only iPad 2, or a 3G AT and T or Verizon iPad 2.
