This Is a Newspaper on the iPad: The NYT, WSJ and USA Today iPad Apps

On the one hand, you have the New York Times: “I am an internet news application!” And then you have the Wall Street Journal: “I am a color newspaper!” And then you have USA Today: “I like Skittles!” Even before we’ve used them, we can see that they’re all groping toward what a newspaper should…

Marvel Comics On the iPad

The left half of the image is the money—that’s how you’re going to be reading Marvel’s comics on the iPad. What the screenshots don’t show, however, is what happens when there’s a two-page facing layout. Do you go landscape and they go side-by-side? That seems to be the best option, rather than paging forward and…

The Desktop App Lets You Pretend That Your iPad Can Multitask

AIM For iPad Is Free And Looks Decent

Everyone eventually trades up from the AIM app to IM+ or BeeJive or Meebo, but the free AIM app for the iPad actually looks decent. It looks like it has Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Twitter “support”, as in it shows updates from those services in the “Lifestream” view. Having one app that does both IM…

Geometry Wars For iPad OMG

One of the best XBLA titles showing up for $10 on the iPad might just sell the more “hardcore” gamers on the platform. It looks damn good, even if it’s not quite as graphically impressive as the 360 version. [iTunes]

Apple’s HTC Complaint Is Officially Moving Forward

The ITC has agreed to investigate Apple’s complaint against HTC. It’ll be a long process, and this in no way indicates how the ITC might eventually rule, but an Apple victory could mean a US ban of HTC phones. https://gizmodo.com/apple-sues-htc-for-infringing-on-20-iphone-patents-the-5483632 The suit is a sweeping accusation of patent theft, and a ruling against HTC would…

Steve Jobs Is Just Getting Warmed Up

Time has a terrific profile of Steve Jobs and the iPad this week, in large part because they put it in the hands of ubercomedian/ubergeek Stephen Fry. It’s a portrait of a man whose life and work are intrinsically intertwined. The hardest-hitting question of Fry’s hour-long interview—”Will you perhaps leave Apple on this high, a…

Since this is the first computer for non-geeks, they should have gone a lot further. https://gizmodo.com/ipad-mega-meta-review-works-great-no-surprises-5507037 Apple’s goal, it seems, is to not let the geek press color the launch with…
