When the original iPad was released back on the 3rd of April 2010, there was around 3000 native apps available for it. Exactly 453 days later, that figure has grown to over 100,000 in the US App Store, and the UK App Store isn’t too far behind at 98,874.
Previously, Apple have brought us iPad 2 adverts titled ‘We Believe‘ and ‘If You Asked‘ – the latest, which was uploaded to their YouTube channel earlier today is simply titled ‘Now’.
Last month we reported how a display created by Samsung could pave the way for a retina display iPad 3, now a TechUnwrapped tipster has discovered some images in iOS 5 for iPad that might just lend more weight to the rumours.
Although the introduction of apps such as Garage Band, iMovie & iWork have helped to turn the iPad into a content creation device, I tend to use mine more for content consumption.

I’ve been thinking of adding a new category to macsessed for all the slightly unusual or quirky news & apps I discover, and HumanClock is the kind of app that would fit perfectly in such a category. Available for the iPad and iPhone, it’s a clock that shows you the time via a random selection of people holding up numbers.
I love using my iPad to surf the web, and while I’m fairly happy with Safari, sometimes I miss the advanced features and options that you find on most desktop browsers. Thankfully there are a number of excellent third-party browsers available for the iPad that have those features, and I’ve picked out five of the best.
Prior to it’s release, many people were hoping that the iPad 2 would feature the same retina quality screen as the iPhone 4 & fourth generation iPod Touch. Although they were left disappointed, a new display produced by Samsung may just pave the way for a retina screen on the iPad 3.
Earlier today Adobe released three Photoshop Touch Applications for the iPad. Developed using their Photoshop Touch SDK, they demonstrate how touchscreen devices like the iPad can be used in conjunction with the latest desktop version of Photoshop.
A month on from the last one, Apple released a new iPad 2 advert today. Like the previous one, the focus is on what you can do with the iPad, and the different types of people it appeals to.
