It’s the Crappy iPad Giveaway That Will Probably Never Happen!

It’s iPad 3G release day and guess what? I seem to be stalled at $13.02 worth of donations. Yay! The thought that this is actually going to work is starting to fade. Granted, my strategy of “begging for money for a luxury gadget during a recession” probably isn’t the most well thought out plan. But [...]

New plan. Figure out how to fly to China for free. Spend $130 for this. Explain to my wife it’s technically not an iPad.

Engadget has a great write up on a fantastic piece of hardware from China. Moonse (you like how I reference them as if you’ve heard of the brand?) has a new tablet called the E-7001. It sports a 7-inch touchscreen, runs Android 1.5, an SD card slot, built in Wi-Fi, a front-facing camera and a [...]

I might as well turn in my geek card. Cat gets iPad before me.

So, this is humiliating. People have already gotten bored with their iPads to the point where they are now filming their cats playing with the device. I can’t decide if they officially have a group that has gotten together to taunt me or if it’s more of an informal gathering of like-minded individuals.

iPad gets Moolti-task (pronounced Fifth Element style)

Well, it just got slightly harder to criticize the iPad. Apple has announced the addition of multi-tasking to the iPhone OS in version 4.0 and while it won’t hit the iPad until this Fall, it does squash one of the major complaints against the iPad. The ability to run an app like say, Pandora, while also using [...]

@jimlee – Finished piece. Took 80 mins. Added blue bk into neck, eyes fixed but still a bit off. [...]

Perfect solution. Wife gets a luxury Hyundai, I get an owner’s manual.

Hyundai has announced their new luxury sedan, the Equus, at the New York Auto show this week and while the 385 HP V8 engine and Lexus-like stylings were mostly expected, their announcement that the owner’s manual would be an interactive iPad rather than the traditional paper manual was a bit of a suprise.
The vehicle is [...]

Sooooo, apparently you won’t have to wait long for another reason to love your new iPad

Apple has just sent out invites to a “preview event” on April 8th for the new iPhone OS  4.0 (which also powers the newly released, iPad). What exactly they are going to preview remains to be seen but speculation across the interwebs ranges from multi-tasking (natch) via an Expose like interface all the way to [...]

iPad hands on: Yah, its a giant iTouch with a silly name but now I REALLY want one

I’ve got to hand it to Apple. They have an incredible marketing team combined with beautiful industrial design (thanks to Ives) that really pushes their products above competitors.
I just demoed an iPad at our local Apple Store and I want one even more than before. I tried out a handful of apps (Mint, USA Today) [...]

CBS has an iPad app too…except it sucks.

So aparently the HTML5 experiement that was caught in the wild last week on the CBS site was possibly just that, an experiment. Because today they have released an iPad app similar to the one ABC announced last week except for one small difference. It only shows clips. Seriously. Why even have “an app for [...]

Netflix app for iPad shows up in App store. Need for cable TV continues to dwindle.

And here I thought the Netflix app for the iPad was part of the whole iPad April Fools jokes floating around the internets but aparently it’s for real. The app is showing up in the app store now (opens iTunes) and will allow current or new Netflix subscribers to stream unlimited to their iPad and [...]
