Wifi complaints coming in.

April 5, 2010

No problems here. I suppose the people you will hear about are the loudest. When you spend $500+ on a device and you can’t get online, you should take it back, not complain that the entire sector and manufacturer is crap and you hate them with a red hot passion. Just get over it. Look [...]

The iPad land grab of 2010!

April 5, 2010

As someone who is in the process of launching 100 sites in one year, I understand the need to turn a profit. But this is crazy. You know that little + symbol that you see when surfing the iTunes app store? It means the application is good for both the iPhone platform and the ipad [...]

If your iPad isn’t charging… find a powered USB 2.0 Port, or plug it in.

April 4, 2010

That is pretty much the only response from Apple. I know that my iPad 64GB WiFi does not charge through the keyboard. But it does Sync. Apparently it needs 10W, which is fine. I’ll need a longer cable that can power it too. While walking around Alexandria, VA today; I had several people ask me [...]

The Tale of Two Perspectives

April 2, 2010

Not really a tale, but I thought this was funny. eWeek has an article up about a survey that was done that showed that interest in the iPad as far as developers went was declining. [Link] Then just yesterday, Flurry posts about iPad developer support continuing to soar! [Link] Like political exit polling, it is [...]

I think Cory Doctorow thinks everyone is a Hacker

April 2, 2010

Sorry, but Cory Doctorow must think that everyone is or should be a hacker god, capable of writing a couple thousand words on any tech gadget and not just consume the product as intended. He went off on BoingBoing today about why you shouldn’t buy an iPad, and he let everyone know he wasn’t going [...]

iPad Apps hitting the store.

April 1, 2010

I think developers are a little drunk on profit taking. Apps are coming in at $10? Give me a break. I read somewhere, not sure where, but some reporter was being an apologist for developers charging more for the iPad applications because there is greater risk.  She even said that developers for the iPhone knew [...]

The WePad, Really Germany?

March 30, 2010

I don’t know. I think Germany should shy away from a “We” -think device that is clearly named in defiance of the singular iPad. And in a country that at one time took group think to an extreme and continues to bare its wounds in hushed tones, I would shy away from any device that [...]

Can’t wait for my iPad… here are some Guided Tours from Apple.

March 29, 2010

I don’t know what kind of stand these people are using, but I want one. [I know it is some kind of armature that they use during commercials]. At one point some guy is typing, I think during the “Mail” guided tour, and the thing hovers in space. Riiiight. I drink the Apple Kool-Aid as [...]

Lots of worry over the iPad mark amounted to… a sum of money for Fujitsu.

March 26, 2010

So the iPad trademark was acquired by Apple from Fujitsu. But there are others who have a product, or a site, with the iPad name in use. Like iPad.com which conveniently updated their copyright when the Apple iPad name dropped. I was watching that domain like a hawk too. Suddenly… it went from just having [...]

No, you aren’t getting an $800 device for $100.

March 13, 2010
Thumbnail image for No, you aren’t getting an $800 device for $100.

Engadget has a posting, basically, the discovery of Apple Battery Replacement Policy as it relates to the iPad. In a nutshell, if you have an iPad with a dud of a battery, and it won’t hold a charge. Call Apple, they’ll ship you a new iPad for $100. Done, and Done. And frankly, I don’t [...]
