I know there is a logical reason to want to take a $500 iPad and put it into a blender but for the life of me I cannot understand why. Â Try not to cry as you watch the video. Â Why not just burn the money? Â My iPad will not be going to the blender anytime soon.

The first three hours of having an iPad it sat in a box and with such a busy day it was not until 7PM before I was actually able to touch and play with the device. I sat on the couch next to my six year old, he looked at the iPad and said, “That’s a big phone.” I could not help but laugh because it is similar to what most tech people have been saying over the last 3 months, it’s a big iPod Touch.
I am going to try to break this down, the good and bad, while explaining how this is like and dislike an iPod Touch/iPhone. [click to continue…]

Apple is so nice. Â The line is now split between reserved and non-reserved. Â And in true Apple fashion they are provinding water, sports drinks and coffee.
That Arizona sun is making taking pictures down the side of the building difficult

This just made me tear up. If you’re a journal reader already you can get access to the iPad app at no additional cost. What I cannot tell is if your free access is for a limited time or if for a limited time they are grandfathering in subscribers. Time will tell. Personally, I am going to get the online subscriptions for $104 vs $208 for the iPad subscription. Â Read the fine print for yourself

I have been working with Brent to load my iPad up with so much content it is unreal. Â We focused on free books and magazines. Â I ask my wife and kids to forgive me for how selfish I will be this weekend.

For those of you who may have followed the entire debacle of the CrunchPad from Tech Crunch and blogger Michael Arrington and his partner Fusion Garage, we offer another installment. If you will remember, in June 2009, Arrington was working with a Singapore partner, Fusion Garage, to develop a touch-screen device that would run Firefox and Skype on a Linux kernel. It would boast low-end hardware: just a power button, a headphone jack, speakers, a microphone and a built in camera for video. It would have Wi-Fi, 512MB of RAM, a 4-GB solid-state disk, and use touch input only. And all this would retail for around $200. This sounded really great, but many wondered how someone without very deep pockets could hope to pull this off, especially on the time-scale they wanted ( before the end of 2009! ) In late November, 2009, Arrington threw in the towel. He stated that his partner, Fusion Garage, had decided to press on without him. He also said that the only real IP that he held, that wasn’t shared, was the CrunchPad name. [click to continue…]

I am holding my full judgment on the price of the Wall Street Journal on the iPad, WSJ announced the monthly subscription on the iPad will be 17.99 per month. With the Kindle version at 14.99 per month I suspect the $3.00 per month increase is associated with either rich media content included, access to the online version, the “Apple Tax”, or News Corp exploiting the “Apple Tax”. I do not like the Kindle version of the WSJ so I look forward to seeing if the iPad version is any better. The content in the WSJ is extremely valuable to me, but the format on the Kindle just missed the mark. I am not sure if this is Kindle specific or just the challenge with how I like to read the print version of the journal. [click to continue…]
