The pieces are slowly coming together about Apple’s Fall plans, as a new report from Thisismynext suggests that we will see a new iPad in a few months that will be called the iPad HD. If this sounds familiar, it’s because we just heard another report which suggests that an iPad 2 Plus will be…
There are now doubts in my mind Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer is one of the best tablets out there.
