Apple has announced that sales of their third-generation iOS tablet have reached three million since Friday, making this Apple's best iPad launch to date. It was also Apple's biggest launch ever, encompassing 12 countries/regions. While that's insane and awesome -- and it's impressive they could meet the demand given past constraints -- there's still a lot of the world that has yet to get in on the action; this Friday, the new iPad goes on sale in Spain, Belgium, Mexico, Italy, Norway, Sweden and another 18 countries.

"The new iPad is a blockbuster with three million sold-the strongest iPad launch yet," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "Customers are loving the incredible new features of iPad, including the stunning Retina display, and we can't wait to get it into the hands of even more customers around the world this Friday."

In the US, this morning's announcement from AT&T previously reported that they had busted sales records of the new iPad on launch day as well. It'll be interesting to see Verizon's numbers.

For better or worse, I can't even imagine other tablet manufacturers coming close to this kind of success in the near or distant future. Here's the press release.

How To Print From Your New iPad Using Airprint

Tweet

Whether you just happen to be surfing the web, reading a news article, or viewing a document on your new iPad and you want to print out, or you're doing actual work, for work, and need a hard copy, AirPrint makes is easy to print just about anything right from your iPad -- as long as your printer is compatible.

HOW TO SEE IF YOUR PRINTER IS AIRPRINT COMPATIBLE

To be able to print from your iPad you'll need a Wi-Fi enabled printer that supports AirPrint. To see if your wireless printer is supported, you can view the following list on Apple's website -

* List of AirPrint enabled printers

Apple adds new printers to this list regularly. If your printer shows it's compatible but your iPad doesn't find it, make sure your printer is running the newest firmware version. In order to upgrade your printer, you'll need to check your manufacturer's specifications. Most of the time it's as easy as checking for an update straight from settings and letting it update.

HOW TO PRINT FROM YOUR IPAD USING AIRPRINT

Once you've got your printer configured to support AirPrint, you can print straight from your iPad.

* Navigate to the document you'd like to print.
* From the navigation menu, choose the additional options menu which looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it. It may be located in different positions based on what app you're trying to print from.
* Choose PRINT.
* Now you'll need to choose the printer you'd like to print to.
* Adjust the number of copies you'd like to print and then tap PRINT.

That's all there is to it. Your content should print directly to the printer with no computer required.

TROUBLESHOOTING AIRPRINT ISSUES

If you run into issues printing something from your iPad, try performing the following steps and see if they resolve your problems -

* Make sure your printer is updated to the latest firmware and supports AirPrint (you can refer to the list above provided by Apple or ask your manufacturer).
* Check to ensure that your printer is connected to the same network as your iPad is. Your iPad won't recognize your printer if it isn't wirelessly connected and on the same network.
* Make sure you are selecting the correct printer name. If you have more than one printer in your home by the same manufacturer it can be hard to tell which is which so check the exact model numbers.

Once you've got your new iPad and printer paired up you'll be able to wirelessly print documents without ever touching a computer. It's a great feature to utilize when you aren't in a position to hop on a computer or don't want to boot one up just to print something. I actually find myself printing from my iPad and iPhone more than I do my actual computer these days. What have your experiences been with AirPrint?

Apple Releases iOS 4 3 Software Update

Tweet

Apple released the iOS 4.3.3 software update today, iPhone 4 (GSM model), iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), and iPod touch (3rd generation) just like they had promised. This update was released due to a bug in Apple's location tracking system which saved locations in the cache whenever iTunes was synced. The following changes have been made to iOS 4.3.3:

* Reduces the size of the cache

* No longer backs the cache up to iTunes

* Deletes the cache entirely when Location Services is turned off

iOS users can update their iOS Device to iOS 4.3.3 through iTunes. Apple also plans to encrypt the cache in their next major iOS update, which is iOS 5.0.

Apple Is Allowing Under-age Workers To Be On The Factory Floor

Tweet

In January, the radio show This American Life had hosted an a performer called Mike Daisey to talk about his experience talking to Chinese laborers who assemble iPads, iPhones, and other Apple products. Apparently Daisey had straight-out lied to TAL fact-checkers about many encounters, according to Rob Schmitz, a writer for Marketplace who investigated his claims. Daisey had created a one-man show called "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" (PDF transcript) about his experiences. After being outed, he openly admitted that he's not a journalist and that he takes creative license with his work. Here's one excerpt that Daisey made up about one factory worker who had mangled his hand while on duty at Foxconn, and was trying out the iPad for the first time.
He's never actually seen one on, this thing that took his hand. I turn it on, unlock the screen, and pass it to him. He takes it. The icons flare into view, and he strokes the screen with his ruined hand, and the icons slide back and forth. And he says something to Cathy, and Cathy says, "he says it's a kind of magic."
Other parts of Daisey's commentary alleged that Apple is allowing under-age workers to be on the factory floor, which Apple has admitted to in their own audits, though they say it's much more rare than Daisey makes it out to be. While it's great to see stories from Nightline and the like uncover what working conditions are like in Chinese factories, particularly among Apple partners, it's very worrying to see reports like this get through the cracks and dramatize the situation on the pretense of being factual. Sure, things could stand to improve for folks at Foxconn, but lying about it certainly isn't going to help the cause; if anything, it discredits the efforts anyone making humanitarian efforts in the area.

This American Life has retracted the episode featuring Daisey, and issued a statement accepting responsibility for the whole mess. At least we can rest assured that this Daisey guy won't be particularly popular after this episode is done with.

Apple Is Just Going To Preview iOS

Tweet

Its about time the rumor mill starting churning at full speed as Apple fans all around the world are anxiously waiting for the iPhone 5 release. While we don't know when iPhone 5 is releasing, we do know that it can even be called the iPhone 4S with just minor design improvements, larger screen and that A5 dual-core processor. Previous reports have hinted at a possible 12.6 megapixel camera for the next-generation iPhone, and now alleged iPhone 5 camera parts have cropped up online to tell their own stories.

When compared to the iPhone 4, it is evident that the front facing camera on the next generation iPhone is redesigned, however no technical details have been revealed as of now.

Then there's the back camera sensor which tells us a new story. Compare it with the camera sensor on the iPhone 4 and immediately you shall notice that it is short of two elements from iPhone 4's sensor: that tiny little piece which blocks interference of camera and the flash, and the LED camera flash.

The source, Apple.pro, has got a good track record so there's little doubt in the legitimacy of these parts. The purported iPhone 5 cases that have cropped up on the internet, also hint at a relocated LED flash in the next generation iPhone. We can't say anything for sure now though, these are after all, just rumors.

No production roadmap has been finalized as yet for the next generation iPhone release as Apple is just going to preview iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion at WWDC 2011.

Keep checking back for more updates on the iPhone 5.
