Short Comings of Apple’s Tablet
February 4th, 2010 by Mathew Maher No comments »As I’m sure you’re already aware, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, announced their latest creation, their rendition of a tablet computer – the iPad. As with all of Apple’s hardware announcements, the whole technological world is up in arms about this new “magical” device to come from the Cupertino-based company.
Despite the “majestic” stance Apple seems to have, we all have to remember, they’re just another technology company. Sometimes flawed by design aesthetics or lack of through hardware testing (as with the MagSafe Power Adaptor or Apple TimeCapsule), Apple does have a tendency to leave out the most obvious of hardware features. » Read more: Short Comings of Apple’s Tablet
Is iPad OS 3.2 really the new iPhone OS?
January 30th, 2010 by Mathew Maher No comments »When Steve Jobs first displayed Apple’s new tablet computer, dubbed “iPad”, one of the first thoughts to cross my mind was “Is this a preview of the next generation iPhone OS?”
While the new device is claimed to be running a modified version of the iPhone OS, I speculate some of the features of the iPad OS (aka: 3D Dock, iBooks, new versions of Calendar and Contacts, and others) might find their way over to the iPhone and iPod touch devices.
Engadget reported early Friday morning, that the iPad OS has been ‘jailbroken’ to run on the iPhone and iPod touch, however after watching the included YouTube video, the “iPad OS” is simply a hacked iPhone with an applied springboard theme applied. Here’s the link to the Engadget report. » Read more: Is iPad OS 3.2 really the new iPhone OS?

Apple, Fujitsu Battle over iPad Name

Apple's iPad Tablet Computer

Apple’s iPad Tablet Computer
January 28th, 2010 by Mathew Maher No comments »Apple’s Attempt at a Tablet Computer
Last time there was this much excitement about a tablet, it had some commandments written on it.
— The Wall Street Journal
Today, Apple’s CEO and co-founder, Steve Jobs, took stage to announce a new their latest product, something to ‘fill the gap’ between the smartphone and laptop market, a niche market filler. Apple named this “mobile Internet tablet device” the iPad… they should have named the “iFail”.
The Apple-based tablet is quite an interesting device by itself, but the name is just – wrong. “iTablet”, “Apple Tablet”, or “MacBook Touch”, or whatever, would’ve been a better choice for the device. The iPad name, however, really doesn’t strike or appeal to me. There’s no “wow” factor with the name that makes it a cool, or an attractive name. » Read more: Apple’s iPad Tablet Computer
