The Apple iPad is ‘the tablet’ of 2010, it’s the gadget that launched the madness of touch tablets for consumers. The iPad is by far the fastest selling Apple product, with over one million units sold in less than 30 days. That’s because of the appeal Apple has over its fans plus it managed to offer a fast, low weight and long battery life tablet. People didn’t even knew they needed an iPad.
Even if the 3G version of the iPad is slated to start shipping at the end of April due to some delays, it seems that Apple had put some effort into speeding things up.This is why a few users have reported that shipping has already begun as they were announced by Fedex via email. Store availability is another story, as you'll be able to get your 3G iPad from Apple Store and Best Buy starting April 30th at 5pm.As we've told you before, the 3G data plans can be activated from the tablet its...
In an unprecedented move from Apple, it seems that the iPad Camera Connection Kit accessory, the one meant to pull photos via USB (or via an SD card) from your digital camera to your iPad, does more than expected. Users that are purchasing it are reporting they can connect some USB keyboards, audio headsets and such and use them accordingly. From my point of view I believe that's a small error from Apple, which will be 'fixed' soon with a firmware upgrade or else you would have no reason to buy ...
What happens Apple? First you delay the international launch date for iPad by one month and then announce that the 3G iPad won't arrive at the end of April, but on May 7th?I'm wondering how Apple is planning to resolve the shortage, as it seems obvious to me that something is going on, either with the iPad production (a fault of some kind) or the demand is way too high than expected initially. At least it seems that older pre-orders are OK, which means on time for scheduled delivery. Others ...
Like many other manufacturers, Apple is working continuously to improve its products, so now they're developing the second generation iPad tablet. In this case is normal for rumors to surface already about it and the most recent of them refers to the screen that will be fitted on the second iPad, which seems to be an OLED model.Using an OLED screen means higher contrast, color accuracy, brightness and viewing angles, which means better performance in all fields than current LED screens. Un...
That's something really interesting: the iPad is being banned from use all over important Universities in US, like George Washington University, Princeton, Cornell. It's not because it is so cool and everybody wants one or plays with one, putting aside studying and class projects, but because it poses a security risk related to WiFi security.Those Universities banning the iPad claim that incompatibility between iPad's WiFi specifications and the security measures implemented by those campuse...
Are you an iPad fan and at the same time don't live inside US? Tough luck, you won't get your tablet at the end of April, as expected, but the end of May, as Apple just announced they've postponed international official launch in stores by one month. Wait, things are getting better (for Apple), as the reason for the delay is the huge success of the iPad in United States where they've already sold 500.000 and demand is still strong, strong enough to exceed production capacity.And hear this la...
It's amazing what today's devices can do, and if it wasn't for the little hackers that bring those capabilities to our attention we would never knew that the iPad can successfully run Windows 95. Yes, with touch and all that. It works like a charm, no problems at all. It's all possible because of Pavel Egorkin's hack that runs on the Bochs Emulator, an app for iPad.Even if Windows 95 was first run on CPUs at 100-120 MHz, the iPad's 1 GHz A4 chip doesn't seem to run Windows 95 significantly ...
Yes, we've talked about the iPad a lot, we've seen what it can do, how much it costs but we've never talked about where to get it from. Of course you're thinking at Apple's own store, but there are a lot of other places to get it from and here's a little post that will tell you some of the locations where you can buy an iPad from. It might come handy if stocks run out because of the high demand this little tablet caused, with it aggressive 'propaganda' from Apple.But first, before making the...
Even it for consumers who bought the iPad things are settling down, for Apple the race continues as they are already working on the next gen device and gadget concepts. As some rumors have stated, Apple had played already with various screen sizes, including 7 inches and, reportedly, 5 inches, which I find too small for a tablet.Even if this info is just in form of rumor now, we can't help and wonder if Apple is trying to fill the gap between the 3.5 inch screen of the iPod and the 9.7 inche...
While I was occupied with the Easter bunny stuff Apple was busy launching it's iPad on April 3rd all over its US stores. Apparently it was a success, but that was to be expected since the media coverage of the Apple tablet was something bigger than anyone might have imagined a few months ago, when the first rumors started to appear.But let's not revive the past and take a look at what happened in the past two days since the iPad appeared officially for mortals like you and me. Below is a sho...
