Apple iPad Surpasses all Expectations
| April 13, 2010 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Apple, Electronics, iPad, iPhone, iPod, tablet, Tech News |
On April 3rd, 2010, Apple finally released the long-awaited iPad. This short post will tell you a little bit about my impressions of this device.
The first thing you’ll notice about the iPad is how thin it is. It’s actually a bit thinner than an iPhone! When you pick it up, it feels a bit heavy, at 1.5 lbs. However, the plus side of this is that you can really feel the solid quality of this device.
Despite how many people have been saying that it is just a big iPod Touch, there are actually a few changes that set it apart. The Safari web-browsing app, for example, has a new UI for when you’re switching between windows. Rather than flipping through your windows one by one, you can see them all at the same time.
The iTunes app also is much improved. It looks a lot closer to the iTunes that you’d expect on your computer. Perhaps the biggest improvement is the YouTube App. You can see all the search results on the same screen, and the display is absolutely gorgeous.
Overall, I think the iPad is a great value for the price. It’s hard to sum up all the features for you. You need to go to an Apple Store and try it for yourself.

The long awaited Apple iPad is finally here! This advanced piece of technology is actually a tablet computer which allows users to combine the conveniences of a Smartphone with the power of a conventional laptop. The iPad is also the first tablet computer released since the Apple Newton MessagePad 100, which was introduced way back in 1993. Of course, the similarities to the iTouch give the iPad capabilities that the Newton MessagePad 100 could only dream of.
The Apple iPad has a 9.7 inch LED display which is back-lit with a pixel resolution of 1024×768. It essentially looks like a much larger version of the iTouch or the iPhone. Like the iTouch and iPhone, the iPad is operated by using a multi-pad touch screen. Optional iPad accessories include a keyboard dock with a hardware keyboard, a camera connection kit, and a special iPad case that allows users to stand up the iPad.

Apple History: How the Modern Apple Macintosh was Born
| March 10, 2010 | Posted by Ray Morrison under Electronics, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Mac, Tech News |
As Mac OS X is the current version of the MacOS, one might say it’s one of the most advanced operating systems currently marketed. It is based on a previous architecture, however. Though many individuals think only of Microsoft Windows and the MacOS when they hear graphical user interface, there was once another technology on the block.

Apple lays the smackdown on Khalid
| March 9, 2010 | Posted by Tony Viteritto under Apple, Electronics, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Mac, tablet, Tech News |
It’s about time Apple’s super-restrictive control over its ITunes store actually work towards the benefit of its users. It was recently announced that Apple shut down Khalid Shaikh and his legion of spam-happy Pakistani programmers, tossing out more than 900 of his useless apps from the store. (more…)
Apple iPad Pre-order rumored to go on sale this week!
| February 22, 2010 | Posted by Ray Morrison under Apple, Electronics, iPad, iPhone, Mac, tablet |
As most of you know Apple has announced the iPad. Apple said that the iPad wifi will start to ship in late March. Rumors on App Advice, say Apple will start the iPad pre-sale in the coming week as early as late February.
Since the iPad is a new kind of device, I’m not sure if I will just use it at home or actually take it with me on the road. In latter case I would need the 3G option or find a wifi hotspot. My geek hormones, responsible for the urge to own what’s new, will most likely win and I will just put in my pre-order the iPad as soon as Apple lets me and get the Wifi iPad.

Will the Apple iPad ship with a camera?
| February 2, 2010 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Apple, Electronics, iPad, iPhone, iPod, tablet |
Does the iPad have a digital video camera? Looking at a screen-grab from the official video of the event shows nothing but a small dot above the display, opposite of the home button. These showed an iPad locked down in a security frame, and you could clearly see the camera in it’s bezel.
Still not convinced? Checkout this this screenshot from the iPad emulator in the new SDK (software development kit)?

Apple has announced that their U.S. Apple Store is down for maintenance. The European Apple stores are still online.
