The New iPad vs. the iPad 2: Camera Head-to-Head

While there aren't that many upgrades coming with the new iPad, there are a few that geeks will love: a higher-resolution Retina display and a 5MP camera.

by Kristy Korcz

While there aren't that many upgrades coming with the new iPad, there are a few that geeks will love: a higher-resolution Retina display and a 5MP camera. Considering a purchase? There are some tempting features, and if the camera is a deciding factor for you, take a look here: a side-by-side comparison of the new iPad (on the left) and the iPad 2 (on the right).

You can see that the new iPad camera allows a better range of colors and the iPad 2 photo is more pixilated. It's an obvious upgrade, but one that I'm not sure is worth a purchase alone.

How To: Get Your iPad Ready For Resale

The iPad 3 (or iPad HD is being announced tomorrow, and if you're ready to upgrade from your first-gen iPad or iPad 2, now's the time to sell.

by Kristy Korcz

The iPad 3 (or iPad HD is being announced tomorrow, and if you're ready to upgrade from your first-gen iPad or iPad 2, now's the time to sell. But before you post a listing on Craigslist or eBay, get all your ducks in a row first. Here's a few tips on how to prep your gadget for resale, and get top dollar for your efforts.

Back up your data and do a clean sweep — First thing's first — make sure you connect your iPad to iTunes and back up all of your data. You'll be able to sync it with your new iPad after you bring it home. And just like a computer, before you sell your old tablet, you'll want to wipe it clean of any sensitive information, apps, and contact lists. Erasing all of your content and settings (go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings) is great, but go ahead and perform a full restore in iTunes as well.
Polish the exterior — Cleaning your old iPad is kind of like cleaning your LCD monitor — you don't want to use any harsh chemicals or, even more damaging, water. Using a tried-and-tested cleaner like iKlear ($30) will ensure you won't damage your iPad's sensitive bits. Use the included microfiber cloth (or one of your own) and shine that baby up.

To see the rest of my list, including tips on how to get your gadget sold quickly online, just keep reading.

DODOcase Unveils Second in Artist Series: OrkPosters

DODOcase took a turn from its classic iPad case back in May when it launched its artist series, partnering with Rex Ray to bring bold designs to DODOcase fans everywhere.

by Kristy Korcz

DODOcase took a turn from its classic iPad case back in May when it launched its artist series, partnering with Rex Ray to bring bold designs to DODOcase fans everywhere. The company just announced its second artist installment from Jenny Beorkrem (from OrkPosters), which brings a very San Francisco feel to the iPad case. Appropriate, since the City by the Bay is where DODOcase resides.

We've often said that the DODOcase can help disguise the iPad as a book, and the OrkPosters DODOcase ($90) takes that notion a step further — it comes adorned with an outline of San Francisco, which has been filled in with famous literary titles and authors. You can order your OrkPosters DODOcase online now, but if you need a closer look at the cases then take a guided tour in our slideshow.

Download of the Day: Snapseed

iPad users wanting the power of desktop computing software on the go have a new app to add to their mobile arsenal, the photo editing tool Snapseed.

by POPSUGAR Tech

iPad users wanting the power of desktop computing software on the go have a new app to add to their mobile arsenal, the photo editing tool Snapseed.

At $5, Snapseed offers photo editing beyond basic "enhance" settings with the fun of the iPad's multi-touch functionality. The basic tools include auto correct, crop, white balance adjustment, and selective adjustment, which allows for more precise corrections. The real personalization lies in the application of Snapseed's creative filters. Add vintage and grunge lenses to images with a minimalist border, the better for Facebook sharing! The center focus setting is reminiscent of tilt shift, blurring select parts of the photo.

With a user-friendly interface that includes swiping left to right to adjust an enhancement's concentration and swiping up or down to select a new tool, all your photos will easily transform to professional quality. Video tutorials and pro tips are included within the purchase price of the app. View a Snapseed overview at their YouTube page and take a look at the app's editing screens in the photo gallery.
