Apple just pulled through with the anticipated iPhone os which will also be used on the ipad! What does this mean?
iPad multi-tasking!
for all you whiners out there who complained about the multitasking issue the new OS basically wipes out all of the issues the iPad has except the flash issue. This is great news for all you out there who reserved your iPad allready. Prepare for these iPad gadgets to start flying off the shelves! Head over to our Store section to check out the latest stuff!

iPad surprise!
Wow! Apple is trying to sweeten their already sweet deal! With the iPad on pre-order with over 120,000 orders it seems like the ipad wasn’t such a flop after all. I’m sure sales will really pick up once the iPad hits the streets in the big cities. I can imagine the looks of jealousy already.
Exclusive: iPad iBooks Features The Gutenberg Project Catalog – 30,000 Free eBooks
Posted by Alexander Vaughn on: March 25th, 2010, 1.42 pmphoto 11 Exclusive: iPad iBooks Features The Gutenberg Project Catalog 30,000 Free eBooks
iBooks’ very sweet price points are not the only surprise Apple kept for the iPad launch. Indeed, while we already knew the iPad can read and import eBooks in the ePub format, it probably won’t be as necessary as we thought; as the iBookstore already features the Gutenberg Project catalog for free.
If you’re not familiar with the Gutenberg Project, it’s a free online digital library supported by volunteers. This library already includes over 30,000 free eBooks from the public domain; it is an amazing popular resource.
Well, when checking out Apple’s iBookstore, I noticed that Apple has decided to include these directly. I obviously haven’t had the chance to count them, but it appears that the entire catalog is available for free download.
This is obviously very good news, making it easier than ever to access a lot of good literature on the cheap.
Technology wars! We have all heard about the iPad killing the kindle right? (or have you been hiding in a corner) Well Amazon has just acquired a new and cheaper touchscreen technology in a move to head off competition with apple and the iPad. Now if the Kindle 3 will have internet access with multi-tasking the iPad is going to follow in the footsteps of the apple newton apple’s first tablet! Already the iPad seems to be a big disappointment. In another move (possible connected) amazon is having a limited time IPOD SALE!!!
Clearing out old apple products to blacklist them from their product line? Or making room for the the new apple iPad in the warehouse? Only time will tell…
www.engadget.com reports:
In what we’re hoping bodes well for future Kindle iterations, Amazon’s pulled out its credit card and picked up New York-based startup Touchco, who specializes in — you guessed it — touchscreen technology. The company will be merged with Lab126, a.k.a. the Kindle hardware division. Here’s why we’re excited: the startup claims its interpolating force-sensitive resistance tech can be made completely transparent, works with color LCDs, and can detect “an unlimited number of simultaneous touch points” as well as distinguish between a finger and stylus. Current cost estimates put it at less than $10 per square foot, which The New York Times says is “considerably” less expensive than the iPad / iPhone screens. We’re not expecting to see immediate results with this acquisition, but given the proliferation of touch in the latest batch of e-book readers, it’d be foolish of Amazon not to join in on the fun. Ready for the Kindle 3 rumor mill to start up again?
