So Wired are giving away the May issue of their iPad edition for free, and I finally have an iPad. I immediately downloaded it – well, “immediately” is a bit of a stretch; it was 380MB and took 20 minutes to download. I’ve had a number of requests on twitter that I review this app, [...]

iPad Lessons Learned After One Year
April 11th, 2011 · 10 Comments · Uncategorized
Was it really a year ago that I got up at the crack of dawn, stood in line at the local Apple store and left with my new favorite gadget, a 32G wifi-only iPad? The last 12 months have been an interesting period and I thought it would be fun to share the iPad lessons [...]
I’m not taking my iPad or Android tablet to the conference
April 3rd, 2011 · 13 Comments · opinion
I’m traveling top NYC this afternoon for a conference and I finally decided on what gadgets I’m going to bring. Due to weight (and the fact that I don’t want to leave electronics in my hotel room), I had to pick between a Win7 tablet convertible or (as a pair) my iPad and Viewsonic gTablet. [...]

I was right: The funds for a 1:1 iPad program don’t exist
March 27th, 2011 · 8 Comments · opinion
I’ve written posts before objecting to public schools starting iPad pilot programs. My main argument was that they don’t have the funds to follow through and give every student an iPad. Well, yesterday I came across a school district outside of Minneapolis that just proved me right.
Funniest iPad 2 video yet
March 17th, 2011 · 3 Comments · humor
This video is a clip from a late night British tv show called 10 O’Clock Live. The host is Charlie Brooker, and he is an exceptionally sarcastic comedian. Trust me, this is worth 4 minutes of your time.
Will the iPad 2 blend? Yes it will! (video)
March 16th, 2011 · No Comments · humor, video
It was only a matter of time before this was posted. The guys at Will It Blend have released their next video, and this time the iPad 2 is their victim. Gah, what a waste of money. But I do think the effort they put into shooting actually makes it halfway funny.
iPad 2 – Nothing but batteries, all the way down

Over the weekend, the hacker geniuses at iFixit tore down the iPad 2 and revealed its glory. Do you see the little strip of circuit board next to the silver back panel? That’s the motherboard that has the best graphics on any consumer tablet. Damn. via iFixit
iPad 2 Jailbroken
March 13th, 2011 · No Comments · hardware news
That was quick. Only a couple days after the iPad2 started shipping and it has been jailbroken. The image at right shows an iPad2 accessing Cydia, the 3rd party iOS App Store. There’s no word yet on when the hack will be released, but I can bet that Apple are already working on unJailbraking the [...]

Why I’m Sticking with iPad 1.0
March 7th, 2011 · 5 Comments · opinion, video
I couldn’t be happier about Apple’s iPad 2 announcement. I was worried they were going to show so many killer features I’d have to spend at least $500 upgrading. Whew. Thankfully for me and my bank account, I consider this new product more like iPad 1.1 than iPad 2. Thinner? Nice. Dual cameras? Don’t need [...]
