Murdoch: iPad May Save Newspapers

Rupert Murdoch is in love with the iPad. It’s not hardware. It’s not the software. It IS THE FUTURE!. The future of newspapers, he says. Well, Rupert, here’s some news for you: The WSJ iPad app sucks kangaroo balls. Other pearls by Rupert: I’m old, I like the tactile experience of the newspaper, (but) if…

Further Thoughts on the iPad: A Cleverly Thought-Out Starting Point

Daring Fireball’s John Gruber writes that “Apple hasn’t thought of everything with iPad, but what they’ve thought about, they’ve thought about very deeply” and Ars Technica’s Jacqui Cheng finishes the thought: …the iPad is likely to just be a starting point for Apple and for multitouch computing in general. Like the Gizmodo team, both Gruber…

How Are You Holding Your iPad?

Before it was announced, we mocked up a crude iPad to test some basic tablet ergonomics. It was awkward! (And oddly sensual!) Now that I have my iPad, I still don’t know: How are we supposed to hold it? Our original mockup might’ve been a little off—our aspect ratio was closer to widescreen than the…

Apple’s ‘iPad Ready’ Website List Isn’t Quite Ready

Right before the iPad came out, Apple added an “iPad Ready” section to its site, bragging about all the major sites that would run seamlessly without flash on the device. The problem? Some of those sites are anything but. Sure, the front pages of all those sites work just fine. But try going in-depth on…

Best iPad Comic Reader: Comic Zeal vs. Comic Reader Mobi

The iPad should technically be perfect for comics. The large screen, the swipe gestures and the pinch-to-zoom all make digital comics that much better than it has before. But no one comic reader has gotten it completely right. Here are the contenders for comic readers. There’s the Comixology and Marvel’s reader, the latter of which…

iPad Apps, by the Numbers: A Whole Lot of Games

It’s still very, very early in the world of iPad-specific apps, with less than 2,500 of them in the store compared to 150,000+ iPhone apps. But so far? It’s totally dominated by games. App store analysts Distimo did a rundown of what you’ll find in the iPad app store, and a full third of them…

Careful, Amazon: A Kindle 3 iPad Clone Would Be Suicide

Everybody’s talking about Amazon retaliating against the iPad with a multitouch, multimedia, app-heavy Kindle 3. But it’s not as obvious a move as you think. In fact, it’s a bad idea. As I pointed out yesterday, Amazon is going to do well by the iPad—and plenty of other platforms—as long as they keep their software…

Even Steve Jobs Would Want the Joule iPad Stand

I’m glad someone actually took the time to design a simple stand that not only matches the iPad’s industrial design but makes it look even better. The Joule’s made in California, but it reminds me of classic 70s European designs. The Joule is made out of solid aluminum bricks, CNC’ed like the unibody iPad and…

Apple iPad Review

How and where you’ll use the iPad are of the essence. *** Breakfast in New York. Sitting in a booth at Cafe Habana, people are staring as I type emails on the iPad. For now, it grabs too much attention, for better or worse, with its big swoopy animations and Skittles glow-erific screen. It’s not…

The iPad Costs Something Like $260 to Build

The traditional iSuppli component breakdowns that attempt to put a neat little number on what a product actually costs to build appeal to a primal part of us, the part of us that wants to know, “Did I get screwed?” “How much is a company making off of me? Was I a sucker?” It’s a…

Masters of Apple accessories, Griffin’s A-Frame iPad stand holds your new precious in both upright and landscape formats while charging, and doesn’t let the dock block the speakers, thanks to cleverly-placed grooves.

There have been tablets before the iPad. They weren’t as beautiful or well crafted, but that wasn’t why we chose not to pick them up. It was the software.
