Two months? That’s way too long to have to wait for many die-hard Apple early-adopters. Thankfully however, the design wiz over at SevensHeaven has created a very simple and inexpensive attachment that allows you to experience of using the sleek modern marvel now! All it requires is the add-on itself and your existing iPhone or iTouch. Simply attach the two and suddenly your screen is bigger, your using existing iPhone apps, your impressing friends and coworkers, and, best of all, your wallet isn’t $1,000+ lighter!
All kidding aside, it’s been amusing to see the irrational explosion of emotions online from the two camps, both those that think it will change the world and people sure it’s destined to be a big slick paper weight. A huge part of the answer to that debate should be determined by the power of Apple’s new A4 processor – something we’ve only seen a little evidence of but is one of the big differences between existing Apple PDAs and the iPad, besides size. Hopefully we’ll learn more about it’s capabilities soon and see whether there’s any truth to this joke or not.
Only minutes ago and after months of rumor and speculation, self proclaimed genius, Steve Jobs, stunned the world by announcing yet another product sure to change the way we live life as we know it. It’s the Apple iPad! While most people thought Mr. Jobs would choose a more descriptive and less feminine hygiene product-sounding name, like iSlate or iTablet, the biggest surprise was actually the price. The most basic model (16GB/WiFi, no 3G) is only $499 which makes it much more affordable than most industry watchers expected and is probably meant to help it overcome some of the consumer adoption concerns many anticipate. The iPads will be managed through iTunes and run existing iPhone apps in a window (or pixel-doubled fullscreen) and will ship unlocked and attached to any specific carrier. WiFi-only units are supposed to hit store shelves in only 60 days with 3G-enabled units following 30 days beyond that.
Well, not really, but I’ll play along with this beautifully accomplished hoax. A lot of work and coordination must have gone into producing this video, but the result speaks for itself. How many people will be suckered into believing this is real?
AT&T is all pissed off at Verizon lately because of their ad-campaign “There’s a Map for That”, which slams AT&T for suck-ass phone coverage. Apparently feeling the heat, AT&T has now released an app for the Apple iPhone that allows customers to ping the carrier in real-time, along with location-centric feedback. AT&T will use this data to improve their network coverage.
The app is called AT&T Mark the Spot and it’s free, so I recommend you download this baby immediately and start hammering AT&T with “fix-it” spots.
