Though a lot of discussion has happened over the iPad in the past one week, a vast majority of us will not get to lay our hands on the device for at least another month.
If you are curious to check out the look and feel of an iPad in the mean time, folks at Redmond Pie have a nice solution – Turn your iPhone or iPod touch into an iPad look-a-like.
Ever since Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad, it seems like the world has been divided into two – One group comprising of those who adore the iPad and the other group that hates it. For the moment, it appears like even a lot of traditional Apple fanboys have chosen to take the latter stance and the reason is not too hard to guess – lack of important features makes the iPad look simply incomplete.
Wired is reporting that Steve Jobs had a town hall meeting with Apple employees late last week following the launch of their latest creation, the iPad.
At the town hall meeting, he is rumored to have spoken on quite a few topics such as rivalry with Google, reason for not supporting Adobe Flash, the next generation iPhone, regarding Lala’s acquisition, New Macs in 2010 and more.
If you were hopeful that Apple iPad would support Flash based on Apple’s official iPad video then we’ve some bad news.
Apple has just corrected the iPad demo video by removing the Flash content from it. It now shows the broken Flash plug-in icon.
Ever since the Apple iPad was unveiled, the blogosphere has been abuzz with complaints about the lack of Camera and Flash on what Steve Jobs claims is the "most important thing" he has ever done. However, it now appears that there is much more to the iPad than what was demoed on Wednesday. According to fresh rumors, a camera on the iPad is quite likely; at least in the second generation of the device.
One of the notable aspects about the recently unveiled Apple iPad is its speed. From what we can gather from early reviews of the device, the A4 processing chip on the iPad enables the applications to be opened "instantly" and its response time is seen to be much faster than even iPhone 3GS, let alone the older iPhone models (as you would expect from a tablet computer).
The lack of support for Flash on the iPad was revealed while Steve Jobs was giving a demo of their latest creation at the media event on Wednesday.
But folks at 9to5Mac think they have every reason to believe that the iPad could in fact be coming with Flash installed. This is based on the official iPad video released by Apple on their iPad microsite.
Phil Schiller, Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing unveiled iWork for iPad at the media event on Wednesday, which he claimed was specially designed for the multi-touch surface of the iPad.
The launch of the software suite will provide a range of productivity tools to iPad users, which we believe will be one of the killer apps for the iPad.
We're huge fans of Apple's products. However, over the years, the company is slowly creating a legacy of launching amazing products that fall short of the word "perfect" simply because of the lack of one critical feature or the other.
Back in 2007, Apple revolutionized the mobile phone space when it launched the iPhone. Despite the launch of a breakthrough product, complaints about the lack of features like video capturing capabilities etc took the sheen away from the product.
After unveiling the iPad, Apple has released iPhone OS 3.2 SDK beta for developers to develop apps for the iPad.
As you might already be aware, iPhone OS 3.2 currently works only on the iPad and does not support iPhone or iPod touch.
