Now, if this isn’t dedication to a brand, we don’t know what is. There’s this dude out in New York City who’s apparently so stoked for the Apple iPad launch that he’s already staked out his place in line! According to the video interview posted this morning, he’s been in line since March 31st. Where…
Notion Ink’s Adam, other tablets delayed due to Nvidia Tegra 2 issues? Nope, rumor confirmed false by NVIDIA
Please excuse my blasphemy, as it’s the week of the iPad, but sonofabitch. While many of you are probably getting your dusty CareBear sleeping bag out to wait outside of the Apple store on the 3rd, many people are taking a pass on the iPad in favor of something more functional (and geeky). Looks like…
Apple thumbs nose at Flash, gives list of iPad-ready sites
Apple has published a list of iPad-ready websites and it includes some heavy hitters that could help Apple win its war against Flash. The list includes CNN, Reuters, the White House, Vimeo, Sports Illustrated, Time Magazine and others. A funny thing is that the New York Times’ website is under Apple’s list, as it is…
With the iPad coming, what should Amazon do?
If I were at Amazon I would be scared of Apple. Let’s face it, after grabbing the iPad, not many people will want an additional device just for reading. Sure, the Kindle is a way much better ebook reader, but iPad offers so much more. And in that sense, I really don’t see that many…
ABC’s ‘Modern Family’ shills for the iPad
You know what’s not cool? A 30-minute sitcom that turns into an ad for the iPad. That’s exactly what ABC’s “Modern Family” turned out to be last night. I’ve actually liked the show – anything giving Al Bundy more love is a good thing – but find this to be kind of gross. I’m sure…
Early iPad reviews show up – it’s a hit
If you can’t wait for your iPad to arrive Saturday, you’ll be happy to know that the early reviews have been quite positive. Walt Mossberg, David Pogue and Ed Baig are always the first to review Apple products – and some may say this is why they’re never hyper critical – and the consensus is…
Hulu, CBS, Netflix should be coming to iPad
If you thought the lack of Flash and Silverlight would hamper the iPad as a media device, you were wrong because it appears as if ABC, CBS, Hulu and Netflix will be coming to Apple’s tablet. CBS and Apple are preparing to offer free television content for the iPad and both may hit by the…
Attention Trekkies: ‘Captain’s Log’ Blasts Your iPad Full of Star Trek Goodness
I’m not a ‘Trekkie’. Never have been, never will be. But if I WAS, the app I’m about to tell you about would be more than enough to get me down to an Apple Store with cash-in-hand for an iPad. For those that know Star Trek inside and out, they’ll know that a PADD (Personal…
Streaming cloud-based music on the Apple iPad? Don’t bet on it.
There are a good number of people out there that are hoping to see Apple’s LaLa acquisition and this week’s iPad launch converging into a perfect storm of cloud-based services that would have Apple debuting a new streaming music service alongside its tablet. Unfortunately, it turns out that Apple may be delaying the launch of…
Developer interest strong for Android, iPad
Developers are getting very excited about creating for Android app but they’re taking a wait-and-see approach with the looming iPad, according to a survey from Appcelerator. The company surveyed 1,000 developers and found iPad interest is still pretty high but it’s not as frenzied as it was prior to the device’s proper introduction. The report…
