In an interesting turn of events, the iPad will now be available in Israel. You may recall 10 days ago (or so), Israeli officials had noted the iPad would not gain approval from local regulators. The problem? WiFi broadcast power levels. Turns out the models currently sold in the US operate at higher levels than…
Netflix and ABC streaming videos on iPad – Badass or just bad?
When Steve Jobs unveiled the Apple iPad earlier this year, he showed off some headlining apps that would be available for the tablet device on launch.

Check out the next generation of E-Ink displays
The E-Ink display on the Kindle and Nook is cool because it can go weeks without a charge and is quite easy on the eyes but it does look kind of cruddy, especially compared to the LCD display of an iPad or the variety of tablets coming out. As you can see from the video…

By now, we should all know what a gaming behemoth the iPad is in terms of how flawlessly its games perform, as well as its size. As impressive as it is, it still hasn’t been pushed to its limits to see what it’s truly capable of. That is, until today. Quake III Arena has been…
Apple fires back at Adobe: You sir, are the one that is ‘closed and proprietary’
Apple and Adobe have been at each other’s necks for years now.

iPad, finger theft caught on video
Remember that awful story about the thief stealing a man’s iPad and nabbing some of his finger as well? The police have just released the footage and it’s some wild stuff. As you can see, the victim is relatively nonchalant about losing part of his pinkie finger – I’d probably look like a blubbering puss…
Samsung confirms new OLED plant – will go online January 2011
The iPad 2 – that’s what this post is mostly about – or at least the screen anyway. Currently there’s a nice LCD screen doing the business in the iPad, but everyone knows that the holy grail of pretty colours and non-thrashed batteries is OLED. So would it be unreasonable if the next iPad had…
Bill Gates says the iPad is ‘okay’
Bill Gates was pushing tablet computing long before it became a plot point on sitcoms, so what does Microsoft’s co-founder and former CEO think of Apple’s “magical” tablet? It’s okay.
