Many a gadget freak has claimed 'I would kill for an iPad' over the last few weeks, but as the world officially goes iPad crazy ask your self this: would you die for an iPad? That's the rather serious question being asked as the Chinese factory where the iPad is …

Apple has apparently shipped 3 million iPads. You'll be aware of that because you read the papers, the blogs, the press releases - and Apple is brilliant at telling everyone when it has a hit (I don't remember getting so much information when it was pushing the Newton). No doubt …

The long-awaited iPad, the tablet computer from Apple had its coming out party this afternoon and for a while, I wondered if the event was even worth watching. For the first half hour, Jobs droned on about web pages, video and email like they were some fantastic new phenomena we …

I recently argued '[URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story289730.html"]Why Goatse was right to disclose iPad data leak[/URL]' after it came to light that the FBI had started an investigation into the hacker group following the responsible disclosure of an iPad data leak caused by poor AT&T security measures. I said "The security researchers which discovered …

iPad users in the USA have found themselves caught up in a security gaff which saw subscriber data of some 114,000 of them exposed for anyone to see. Subscriber data such as email addresses the Integrated Circuit Card ID that authenticates them on the AT&T network. The security researchers which …

A number of news sites, today of all days (week after the international launch of the [URL="http://www.apple.com/ipad"]iPad[/URL], expected day of the announcement of a new [URL="http://www.apple.com/iphone"]iPhone[/URL],are asking one thing: has Steve Jobs, or more precisely [URL="http://www.apple.com"]Apple[/URL], finally gotten too big?

Im planning to start a website that would list or display different types of IPhone or IPad applications from Apple's AppStore. Ive googled a lot to research as to how to first commence such website. I came across different affiliate programs but i don't think that quite match the intention …

I'm a huge fan of the president. I loved how his campaign used social media to help drive him to victory in 2008. I think he's generally a smart, well-informed and extremely articulate man, but today he said something incredibly stupid about the iPad and I have to say something. …

[ATTACH=right]14692[/ATTACH]Apple's feeling pretty good about itself lately and why shouldn't it? It sold [URL="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/03/apple-sells-one-millionth-ipad/"]a million iPads[/URL] in the first month. That means iPad sales reached a million units twice as fast as the original iPhone. The revenue spigot remains wide open and I'm sure investors are happy, but Apple has …

In quick succession, HP and Microsoft reportedly killed off two iPad wannabes this week.

Since the IPad will only operate using Safari and wont support Flash, do you think you will optimize your site to become iPad friendly?

Emails went around the world today confirming that the [URL="http://www.apple.com/iPad"]iPad[/URL] 3G is available to order either online or to buy in store. Admittedly they only went around the world to people who'd signed up to the American Apple website, and nobody outside that country can have one, but it's confirmation …

What's Apple up to now? Yesterday it became public that the company had acquired [url=http://siri.com/]Siri[/url], whose sole purpose in life appears to be to make [url=http://siri.com/about/]Siri[/url], a free iPhone app that helps you find things and make plans.

As everyone knows by now, the [URL="http://www.apple.com"]Apple[/URL] iPad has arrived. I don't have one nor do I want one. Even at $499, you couldn't run fast enough to [I]give[/I] me one of the stupid things--as we say in the South. I was hoping for something more when it came to …

Among those stranded by last week's new eruption of an Icelandic volcano was Jens Stoltenberg, prime minister of Norway, who on Friday found himself stuck in JFK, according to [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/04/16/2010-04-16_volcanic_ash_strands_norway_prime_minister_jens_stotlenberg_in_nyc_airport_so_he.html"]news [/URL]reports.

So of course, some people at work showed off their new toy - the Ipad. The Ipad seems like a big toy but the way it helps with banner advertising and reading was good. So saying that, there was some conversation that the iPad will affect, not the creation, but …

More often than not the consumer worries that it will be bad news when a popular software tool from a small developer is bought by a bigger company. However, in the case of Tweetie, one of the most popular Twitter clients for the iPhone, things could be very different. For …

Now there's a challenge for [URL="http://www.apple.com"]Apple[/URL] hardware fans who don't necessarily love the "upgraded" iPhone OS: Install Linux on it. It might be possible but the hard part is getting past the A4 processor. Is there a Linux kernel tweaked for it? Why would you want to run Linux on …

So we know that today was the big day where the IPad was launched. There was a positive review in WSJ - All Things Digital.

Apple's new golden gadget, the [URL="http://www.apple.com/ipad"]iPad[/URL], appears to have laid its first golden egg.

[attach=right]14252[/attach]So after [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story265727.html"]all the hype[/URL] you've got an iPad, I guess you'll be wanting to break it then?

[ATTACH=right]14244[/ATTACH]The iPad hit the streets yesterday and reports have rolled in from bloggers, reporters and users.

[ATTACH=right]14218[/ATTACH]I was having a conversation with my editor today and he brought up an interesting point about the iPad launch tomorrow. The personnel who are supposed to know the iPad cold, have to be able sell it, service it and train new customers on how to use it; have yet …

IPad is finally on sale. I dont know if I would get an Ipad so early in the game, especially since we know, there will be different version released that are bigger and better. Would you buy an IPad just to be connected?

The Oscars 2010 had something new to add to the usual media frenzy, glamorous dresses and A-list celebrities: an iPad advert. Yep, Apple opted to get the mainstream iPad marketing campaign well and truly off the ground by debuting the iPad TV advert during the 82nd Academy Awards. If there …

Now this is interesting. I'm not going to insult you by explaining Google Buzz in here - it's been done elsewhere and if you're a member of this site then you probably know about it already. But... I'm interested in the reaction. It's a sort of collective 'so what'? Granted …

IPad is now the next rage. So will you get an IPad just to be more connected online?

First let's get something out of the way - I love the iPad. Every other blogger has shared their opinion so for me it's the eReader that does about ten times as much for only 150 per cent of the price. It's also the first games platform that's going to …

We've been hearing about an Apple Tablet for such a long time now, it feels like it should exist, yet it doesn't. With each Apple event, the rumors are so vivid, we actually believe them. Then the announcement comes, the shiny new ipods and Mac Books and other equipment are …
