Well well, Apple is busy. It seems as though an “iPr0d2,1″ has been found! Now, as you recall, it was discovered that the mythical “iPr0d” was the iPad that was launched today. Well, there are references to a 2nd generation iPad! This looks like a major revision judging by model number of 2,1. If it weren’t a major revision, it would be “iPr0d1,2″ just like with the iPhone 3G or with the iPod touch 2G (MC version).
Not only that, but there are also references to 3 new iPhones and an iPod4,1! Today has really been, ummm, something, to say the least. So there you go!
(Thanks BGR for the image!)
Hey everyone! Well, today, we are extremely excited to announce that we will be covering the Apple iPad launch live!
Now, we will definitely have pictures for you all of everything that’s going on outside at an Apple Store, but that’s not why I’m excited for Saturday!
I’m excited because our very own Brandon Etheredge is going to be on the streets and will be interviewing people and (if all goes well on the website side) we will have a 100% live video feed for you guys of all of the madness that is an major Apple product launch!
Brandon will be (hopfully) wearing the first Limited Edition iPhone (LEIMobile.com / HMPMobile.com) T-Shirt and outfit that we are designing, as well as his press badge so you know he’s press so you don’t hit him for asking for an interview. 
Brandon is in our Texas market, so he will be at the Barton Creek Apple Store in Austin, Texas Saturday, April 3, 2010 @ 8am (Central Standard Time) for the 9am launch of the iPad!
The Barton Creek Apple Store’s address is located here so you can plan to be there and join us, and mabe win some cool prizes.

If you recognize him, tell him that you are a fan of Limited Edition iPhone or LEI Mobile, SocialMe, HackMyPad.com, or even LEIMobile.com and we’ll give you a promo code to SocialMe so you can get it for free from iTunes! That’s our way of saying, thanks!
Just go up to him, and say hi! He’ll give you one of our 15 promo code “Special Edition” SocialMe promo code cards that we designed.
Also, if you take a picture with Brandon, we’ll give you 1 more promo code for a friend. Just take a picture with him, and email it to me, and I’ll add it to the gallery, and send you the other promo code!
So there you go guys!
I’m going to be here in Des Moines, IA at LEI/HMP command central taking care of the site side of things and making sure those of you who don’t have a way to see Brandon, can see the action as it happens!
Also, if you are waiting in line, please make sure to stick around here, and e-mail us some pictures or video of you at a launch in your local area! E-mail me at:
I will take those videos and pictures and post them on the site as soon as I get them and I may even make a video by stringing them together and upload it to our YouTube channel for all to see!
Saturday is iPadDay and we are all extremely excited for it! So make sure to check us out, starting at 8am (Central Time)/9am (Eastern Time) and 7am (Mountain Time)/6am (Pacific Time) for iPad launch coverage images and information starting with the ever so popular, New York 5Th Avenue Appl Store launch!

Hey everyone. Well, I’ve been looking forward to announcing this since I left. Well, today is the day the day that I get to do just that.
Well, as you all know, I announced LEI Mobile v4.0 back in February for a “Late-March” launch, but there was still a lot of work to be done on it, regardless of staff absence or not.
The AVBE v2.7 core still had a bit of work to do, as well as the “HMP Mobile” side of things, as well as a full transition to the new LEIMobile.com transition.
LEI Mobile sports a mess of new internals and it is basically a rewrite from LEI Mobile v3.0, even though it just looks like the GUI is more colorful and more fun to use.
LEI Mobile v4.0 represents about 2 months of work (not counting the initial core work, using our core makes it easier than a 100% rewrite every time).
Now, the LEI Mobile v4.0 project has been very secrative for many reasons, many of which have already been announced at one point or another by either Mike or I. This includes, 2X as responsive as any previous LEI Mobile version, more expandable, Push Notifications, updated GUI (more colorful), more expandable, fixes a major bug found in all previous versions of the core, and it’s overall a better experience.
So everyone should update it on their iPhone/iPod touch if you have LEI Mobile v1.0 -> 3.2 and if you don’t have it, please grab it, it’s a free download from either Cydia or the iTunes App Store.
We’ve updated it to support for iPhone OS 3.0 -> iPad OS 3.2/iPhone OS 3.1.3 and it runs like a dream on even the oldest iPhone or iPod touch.
LEI Mobile v4.0 will be available for free on Cydia on April 2nd, and it will be available for free on the iTunes App Store in “Late-April” as the review process can take an unpredictable amount of time.
So there you go everyone. We always have the latest news on the iPhone/iPod touch, iPad, Mac, or anything Apple related right here at LEIMobile.com and HackMyPad.com!
We hope to gain some serious marketshare on iTunes, and we are hoping to further increase our market dominance on Cydia as well, because we think that we’ve truly got something very special on our hands, LEI Mobile v4.0, the fastest, powerful, and most colorful, LEI Mobile yet!
Thank You!
UPDATE: As of this afternoon, Apple is returning your $12. Don’t you just love the power that we, the media, have?
Yep, that’s right people. For those of you who chose “Rush Delivery” when pre-ordering your iPad from Apple, congrats! You got robbed of $12!
Well, it seems as though Apple had been charging $12 for “Rush Delivery” on round one of iPads so that you got your iPad on April 3rd, however, even if you chose “Standard Shipping”, you are STILL getting your iPad on April 3rd! Wha wha?!
Yep. Exactly. Now, I recomend calling Apple and trying to get your $12 back.
Apple has not been able to say why the $12 “Rush Delivery” and the “Standard Delivery” arrival dates are the same.
More info as I get it…
Hey all fellow developers, it seems as though the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK has hit Gold Master! So go ahead and go to developer.apple.com and download it and start making your iPad apps now!
For those of you using the beta SDK, you’ll need the GM SDK for approval on iTunes.
The final 3.2 build carries the build number “7B367″.
