Apple’s new iPad hits stores tomorrow. Of this, you may already be aware. The thing is, while the Apple-doting fanboys assume the usual position outside the world’s many Apple Stores, you could do a lot worse than check out its competitors. They allow you to do more, work more effectively, are more easily portable or are a lot cheaper. Read on for our top five. Read more
UPDATE: The iPad 2 16GB Wi-Fi only model will sell for £329, Apple has confirmed. Trebles all round!
Looks like the rumours were true. The iPad 2 is sticking around despite the arrival of the new iPad with insane Retina Display. That’s great news for bargain hunters: say hello to the budget iPad.
We’re all on tenterhooks ahead of next week’s iPad 3 launch, waiting for a tablet with a much brighter screen, a buttonless bezel and a beefed-up processor.

This is not our first rodeo with the Amazon’s tablet line. Back in May BGR reported that Amazon was working on two prototypes: the dual-core “Coyote” and the quad-core “Hollywood”. Assuming this information is accurate, the “Coyote” would presumably launch first — corresponding with the September or October time frame.
