Why iPad 2 still dominates Apple advertising in 2012
When the new iPad was released, we wondered how long it would be before Apple switched their billboard and bus stop advertising over to The New iPad – as it turns out, it doesn’t appear that they ever will. Why is it that we’re still seeing Apple displaying iPad 2 billboards across downtown Minneapolis, London, and San Francisco – aka across the United States and across the ocean to the UK?

Consumer Reports: warm iPad isn’t “cause for concern”
