Well, not exactly. In a video released by iFixYouri.com today, the iPad 2 glass display was put through the ringer. Despite being thinner than the original, the second generation materials appear to better, faster and strong — a classic dose of Mr. Kanye West. Ready to take a look at what it takes to break the iPad 2 glass?

The Xperia Play launch scheduled for April 1st has hit a roadblock for the UK’s O2 network. The carrier confirmed software issues will delay the release on the company’s official blog this morning. According to Stuart Hibber, head of O2’s testing team, “sometimes we discover bugs and issues on a phone… we’ve been working with Sony Ericsson to get these bugs ironed out”.
Independent telecoms analyst Ovum released forecasts showing the global smartphone market will double in size by 2016. Leading the market will be Android, driving growth as the dominant platform with more than a 20 percent market share lead over number two, Apple’s iOS. Where will Windows Phone and BlackBerry fit in the picture?
Today, RIM reported their fourth quarter financial results for fiscal 2011.

If you find iPhoto a nightmare and just want to fling images between your iPhone and Mac/PC/iPad/another iPhone, you really need PhotoSync. It’s easily one of the best iPhone apps for handling photos we’ve ever come across. Hook up both devices via WiFi and PhotoSync lets you sling photos back and forth and directly import them into Aperture or iPhone.
PhotoSync lets you send images directly between iPhones, iPod touches and iPads via WiFi or Bluetooth and direct Flickr uploading’s baked in there too. The Mac App Store and PC versions of PhotoSync are free. See today’s best iPhone apps entry in action after the break…
Square Enix RPG classic Final Fantasy 3 has hit the iPhone App Store, so you’ll be able to get your turn based combat grove on on the go. Unfortunately, it’s accompanied by an eye watering price tag of £9.49, which is almost four times the price of the iPhone versions of the first two Final Fantasy outings, which we reviewed last year.
