Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is about to release iOS 5 -- the release date is today. In fact, by the time you read this, it may already be released. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers get ready.

[Update 4: Apple's new iPad is coming to Sprint's new LTE network, apparently] Here's the new iPad (not the 'iPad 3') from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Release date is March 16. Aside from the name, not much else was a surprise (except to those who backed the wrong rumors). In IT Blogwatch, bloggers blog the new pomaceous shiny. Not to mention: What sort of village is this?..

Eat your heart out, Android users, at long last Adobe Flash is on the way to an Apple iPad or iPhone, with one huge advantage: you don't need Flash, sort of.

The jailbreak for iOS 5, on your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, or original iPad seems to be ready for prime-time. The usual bleeding-edge suspects have discovered the bugs, and the Dev Team's fixed them; so now you should be ready to escape from Apple's pomaceous walled garden of parody-free, sexless, family friendliness.

Analysis: Apple's iPad 2 matches the competition in terms of hardware basics, but it lags behind in features, flexibility, and customization potential.

[Updated (yet again) with the non-nerd, shopping 'n' shoes viewpoint] The iPad 3 release date is rumored to be later this month, as new images appear of the casing. This gives new clues as to Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans for what some are calling iPad HD. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers corral the rumors.

It looks like we're about to see a jailbreak for iDevices: good news for users who want non-AppStore apps. It's even working for the new iOS 4.02 and 4.1. Listen up, if you want the latest operating system, or you've accidentally upgraded to it (specifically, if you own an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, or iPod Touch 4G). It's a bootROM exploit, which appears tricky for Apple to fix (oh boo-hoo, how terribly tragic). In IT Blogwatch, bloggers breathe a sigh of relief, thanking pod2g, p0sixninja, and the Chronic-Dev team. Not to mention the Microsoft Opera browser urban legend...

Call it the rumor that will never die, but it's back to walk among us, with Bloomberg telling us Apple has flicked the switch and iPad 3 manufacturing has already begun, with the product set to ship in March.

Apple is in accelerated lock-down as it attempts to identify the best possible apps to demonstrate on the iPad 3 the company plans to launch at a special event next month.

If you've been wondering what to expect from iPhone 5, the next-generation, beyond an all-new and improved antenna, then let me share a few ideas with you -- your iPhone will be your wallet, your house keys, your identity, the centre of your mobile existence.

Will the iPad 3 release date be this quarter? Yes, according to sources at CES 2012, who also blabbed about its specs and features.

[Updated: New news about Retina display sourcing, as Sharp fails to make the grade, reportedly]

iPad 2 and iPhone 5 get later release date you say? Nuh-uh, my friends: Apple says iPad 2 announcement still happening March 2, despite the wild rumors. And the whisper is that iPhone 5 is also on-schedule: early-Q3.

Not to mention what's wrong with modern pop music...
