iPad 2: 5 million for July delivery revealed

Apple is pursuing a broad flight of growth for the production of iPad 2 this summer, so wide as to arouse suspicion. A hardware vendor on behalf of Apple to have explained to the assemblers over five million touch panels for the month of July, as was done in June.

Production could be separated if the rumors about a third to be released in October iPad were true: the upgrade could gradually reduce the production of iPad 2 in favor of a transition to the newer model.

Several companies are involved in maintaining the pace dictated by Apple: TPK Wintek and make the lion's share, with 1.4 - 1.6 million units, followed by Cando, Chimei Innolux, and Sintek Photronic. If correct, the calculation may at outperform those made by Acer, which plans to deliver 800.000 Tabs Iconia throughout the summer, a time when Apple produces 15 million units sold.

Calculated that RIM is estimated to sell 2.4 million devices, however, significantly lower numbers than even the expected, Apple still can not sleep nights sleep.

JVC Victor Audio System is Perfect for iPhone and iPad Users

JVC Victor has announced a new audio system that will work with the iPhone and iPad that will hit Japan

first. The new audio system has some really cool features and comes in several colors. The device comes in two versions that share almost all the same features. The UX-VJ5 has a CD player built in and the UX-VJ3 lacks that CD player.

All the other features between the two systems are the same. Those common features include the ability to dock both the iPhone and iPad at the same time for charging. The system will play tunes from those devices and has a FM tuner integrated. The CD payer version hides the CD door behind the iPad.

The system has dual speakers each with 15W of power. Both of the products have audio inputs and video outputs to hook to your TV or larger computer screen. Another cool feature is that the VJ5 has a USB port and can rip your CDs to MP3 and shoot them to an external HDD. Pricing is unknown, but the devices will hit Japan at the end of July or beginning of August.

iPhone 5 To Be Thinner And Lighter Than iPhone 4?

We are expecting Apple to launch the new iPhone 4 at the same time as iOS 5, some time in September, and have heard a number of rumors on what the iPhone 5 will be like.

Today’s rumor comes courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, who have apparently received some information from Apple’s suppliers, and according to their information the iPhone 5 will be thinner and lighter than the current iPhone 4.

One other thing which they are reporting on is that the iPhone 5 will feature an 8 megapixel camera, this is something we have heard before, and we have also heard that the iPhone 5 camera may be supplied by Sony.

The above image is an iPhone 5 concept and not an actual Apple product, designed by Michal Bonikowski

Update: Austin wrote in to tell us about a new jailbreaking tutorial from YouTube user Duncan33303 -- head past the break to watch it for yourself.
