Why The iPad Is Crap Futurism

The real question about Apple’s new multitouch pseudo-computer, dubbed the iPad, is not whether it sucks or rocks. What all of us really want to know is whether it will change the future. The answer? Yes, but badly. The iPad And The World Of Tomorrow For those who spent yesterday glued to the State of…

Ars hears there’s a company-wide internal meeting today at Apple to talk about the iPad, just like Apple had shortly after the launch of the iPhone. While you’re possibly more interested in the serious chance everybody who’s been at Apple for a while will walk out with their own iPad—like with the iPhone—the likely employee…

The Apple iPad Is For Old People

Apple Plans Video Camera For iPod Touch

Usually reading the patent tea leaves is an inaccurate science at best, without knowing how exactly a proposed technology will fit into a company’s product plans. Other times, there’s an actual drawing of an iPod Touch with a video camera. The patent was filed in the summer of 2009, but only just published today by…

McGraw-Hill Still In Deep Denial Over iPad Leak

Remember when McGraw-Hill CEO Terry McGraw confirmed the iPad—and its OS—a day early on national television? And then Apple pointedly left them out of the presentation? Well, McGraw-Hill doesn’t! No sir, never happened at all. https://gizmodo.com/mcgraw-hill-ceo-confirms-apple-tablet-with-iphone-style-5457588 In a statement given to All Things D, McGraw-Hill spokesperson Steven Weiss backtracks laudably in an attempt to convince…

A Consideration of the iPad’s Aspect Ratio

“It’s not widescreen!” you might’ve snorted about the iPad’s display. Besides the practical consideration that a tablet w/ a 16:9 screen would be more awkward to hold, Lonely Sandwich’s diagram explains a lot of what’s going on there. [Lonely Sandwich]

This Will Not End Well for Fujitsu

If you say “iPad” to Fujitsu PR director Masahiro Yamane, he doesn’t think about Apple. No, the only thing that comes to mind is Fujitsu’s Windows CE-based iPad, from 2002. And soon, lawyers. Lots of lawyers. This isn’t the first time Apple’s appropriated a name that existed before, but this time the story might not…

Adobe Responds to the iPad’s Lack of Flash

As you’re probably aware, the Apple iPad, like the iPhone and iPod Touch, doesn’t support Flash. Apple has its reasons for this, but clearly Adobe isn’t happy about it. Here’s their response. https://gizmodo.com/8-things-that-suck-about-the-ipad-5458382 It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers.

Stephen Fry’s Thoughts On The iPad: All 2,180 Words Of It

British wit and tech maestro Stephen Fry has—rather predictably—scribed a 2,180 word essay about the iPad, after we spotted him skulking around with the whiskey-drinking Jonathan Ive. If only he’d written it on an actual iPad. Infamously purchasing the second Mac to be sold in the UK (after Douglas Adams), Fry has admitted yesterday’s event…

iPad Could Be Sold Without iBooks In Non-US Countries At Launch

Bad luck, non-US countries. iBooks won’t be available from launch in any country other than the US. That could mean Apple’s still to finesse the licensing details with book publishers in each country, or you’re just plain out of luck.
