You iPad 1 owners thought you were left out in the cold with the new and improved Apple iPad cover, huh? Not anymore. You too can enjoy the new iPad 2 Smart Cover almost as much as iPad 2 users by using glue, magnets, and basic handy work thanks to the ingenuity of therussiansusedapencil.com.
I purchased several different types of rare earth magnets from K&J Magnetics. I ended up using block magnets, 3/8” x 3/16” x 1/32” (found here). These particular dimensions work nicely because they sit flush on the iPads edge. I wonder, however, if the round equivalent might feel a little nicer (no sharp edges). Shipping ended up costing more than the magnets themselves so if you are ordering try to team up with some friends.
The cover will come off and attach just as easily, protect the front of your iPad, act as a stand in portrait and landscape orientations, but it will not turn your iPad 1 on and off automatically. That feature is exclusive to iPad 2 because of the updated sensor in the screen.
Here are some intriguing videos of toddlers using and enjoying the iPad. These kids flip through screens and manipulate apps like it’s second nature to them. A whole new generation is growing up with more intuitive learning tools, and new ways to have fun. These kids aren’t necessarily “baby Einsteins”, but average children benefiting from the possibilities of what their iPad can do and what can be gained from it. It’s becoming more than a media consumption device.

Tap Next, then Save.
Open your iPad calendar and tap Calendars in the upper left corner.
Select US Holidays.
That’s it. In less than 30 seconds you can schedule the rest of your year with confidence.
The deals just keep on coming from AT&T. First they knocked off $100 from the original price of first-generation iPad 3G models when the iPad 2 was announced. Now they’re taking off even more!
Great prices on first-generation iPad 3G:
$429 for 16GB
$529 for 32GB
$529 for 64GB
It looks like they’re really trying to get rid of the higher end 64Gb capacity model with its pricing being the same as the 32GB one. But that shouldn’t be a problem as of right now because it appears AT&T has sold out of the 32GB first-generation iPads.
