So is your cat jealous of you because you got an iPad 2? Here is a how to share the fun – Go to the App Store and download Paint for Cats for iPad.
The app starts with a blank screen and mouse running around. Your cat will, of course, chase the mouse and try to snap him and in the process leave her paw marks which, to your cat-friendly eyes, may look nothing short of a masterpiece from Picasso.

Use iTunes Home Sharing to play music from your computer on your iOS 4.3 device
A little know feature that iOS 4.3 brought with it was the ability to play media on your computer’s iTunes library on your iOS device. This is different from the popular remote feature which lets you control iTunes within your home share & the ability to transfer files between computers via iTunes within the home share.
This iTunes home sharing feature lets you play media from any iTunes library within your home share on your iOS device. Once you enable this feature, the shared iTunes’ media library is available in the iPod app on your iOS device and you can play whatever you want as long as you are in the WiFi network’s range. So, if you have an iPhone dock, and majority of your music is on your computer, you no longer need to transfer it to the iPhone. You can directly play it off of the iTunes library on your computer if you have it in the iTunes home share.
Glasses Free 3D on iPad2
While wearing 3D glasses to watch immersive 3D videos in an IMAX movie theatre is fun, it’s dorky if you need to do the same on your phone/tablet while you’re on the move. Glasses Free 3D is the perfect (till we have 3D holograms) solution till then. It was introduced commercially on the recently released Nintendo 3DS pocket gaming console and is now demoed on the iPad2.
The iPad 2 is here
Putting an end to all the rumors and speculations floating around the world, Apple announced the iPad 2 yesterday. As expected, the new iPad is thinner, lighter and much more powerful than the original one. Here is how it looks like:
What Not To Expect From iPad 2?
Tomorrow Apple will announce the iPad 2. Everyone is busy predicting how it will improve upon the first generation model and how Apple will try to match the army of Android tablets that all feature cutting edge hardware. We also did our bit and compiled a rumor list sometime back.
But I’ve been thinking that for two categories of potential buyers it’s more important to know what the iPad 2 won’t do. The first category comprises of the people who are eyeing an Android (or WebOS) tablet but waiting for the iPad 2 announcement. The second comprises of the people who are not so sure about getting a tablet but may consider buying the iPad 2 because, they saw the iPad and it was so cool. So here is a list of things that you should not expect iPad 2 to have.
