iOS 5: Tips, Tricks & Hidden Features
OK, just because I upgraded to Apple’s new iOS5 yesterday (with millions of others) I’m not assuming everyone who reads this blog will be interested … but some of you might: iOS 5: Tips, Tricks & Hidden Features by Chris Herbert at macstories.com. Me? I like it so far. – P And, naturally, John Gruber [...]
Where Samsung says Apple copied the iPad from …
Apple’s patent infringement case against Samsung for ‘slavish copying’ of the iPhone and iPad and their trade dress, packaging etc is interesting for all sorts of reasons. What seems unquestionable is that there was no consumer product available in the past that resembled Apple’s iPad and that manufacturers like Samsung, HTC etc (ha!) were ‘inspired’ [...]
When they pick up an iPad, they visibly relax
Pretty insightful review and commentary on the ‘tablet computer’ scene from ANDY IHNATKO … 1) You can’t compete with Apple by trying to copy the iPad. Seriously, people: Apple’s been designing and building iPads for a few years now and they’ve gotten really, really good at it. They’re certainly way better at building iPads than [...]
Good to see Steve Jobs
Good to see Steve Jobs doing his thing for the assembled oohs and ahhs at the iPad2 launch. A little bit of gloating 15 million iPads later (and 100 million iPhones!!) … well, you can’t take away from that success. I laughed at his joke about the ‘unbelievable price’ of the original iPad — “just [...]

Game-changing iPad
One family’s experience of the iPad: Chuck Hollis’ blog What iPads Did To My Family I don’t think I’ll be buying any more desktops going forward. I don’t think I’ll even be buying any more laptops going forward. They’ve all been largely obsoleted (at least at my home) by a sleek $499 device that doesn’t [...]
National Security Agency chief says his iPad is ‘wonderful’
We’re not sure what this means, if anything, about the security of Apple products. But in a [US] congressional hearing today, Apple’s wonder-tablet received the very unofficial endorsement of the country’s top security geek. Calls it “wonderful”. via Forbes
iPad — ‘pure innovation’
Mac geek Andy Ihnatko calls the Apple iPad ‘pure innovation, one of best computers ever’. Read his review at Chicago Sun-Times. Oh boy! Stephen Fry’s eloquent, gushy iPad/Steve Jobs piece in TIME is good too, and I had the same thing occur to me as his last line: One melancholy thought occurs as my fingers [...]
