Some iPad news worth sharing :

1. Apple stores are still seeing people lining up for iPad 2, which makes me believe the supply has been very limited. Hows those lines in your neighbourhood?.

2. At&t drops prices on all iPad 3G models (1st Gen). The current pricing stands at $429, $529 for the 16GB and 64GB models. (Via)

3. iPad 2 thinner glass might result in more breakage of the screens( its debatable and there still no much hard evidence), but its a buzz out there and so there you go.

3. Music Video shot entirely by iPad 2, impressive work nonetheless :
