128 GB iPad announced: Apple launches February 5th

Early this week, Apple announced the arrival of a new edition to the already wide-ranged iPad family. The current 4th generation of iPad will get a storage memory boost with the 128 GB iPad version launching next Tuesday, February 5th.

The new 128 iPad will come at a price premium of USD 100 on top of the current top-notch configuration, which means you can get one for USD 799 for the non-cellular version and USD 929 for the cellular version of the new iPad 128 GB.

There are already rumors that the launch of a 128 GB iPad is a forerunner of a new 5th generation of iPad to bepossibly launched in Fall .

Question remains whether Apple would also introduce a 128 GB version of its current iPhone 5 line. There are a number of heated discussions about that already; however, chances of us seeing a 128 GB iPhone 5 at this stage remain slim.

Facebook Messenger for iPhone to feature free calling

On Thursday, the Facebook Messenger app for iPhone has just received an update to version 2.1 and will start rolling out a new �push to talk� feature.

According to Facebook, the �push to talk� free calling function is currently enabled only for Facebook Messenger users in Canada.

Here is how the Facebook Messenger app update appears on my iPad Mini. Of course the app remains strictly for the iPhone for now.

Free calling in Facebook Messenger means that the app would rival apps such as Viber and even Skype. However, note that so far there is no word from Facebook headquarters for video calling in their Messenger app.
