type='html'>&lt;P&gt;You purchased your iPad, loaded it up with apps, music, games, photos and everything you could manage to get your hands on.    You bought yourself a protective case to make sure your investment stays safe and maybe even got yourself a wireless keyboard or some other cool accessories to make your iPad even better.  Now you want to personalize it and give it a little something extra to make your iPad stand out from the crowd.  We are glad to bring back an old tradition to help you do just that.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-66260

width=300&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;We received a lot of requests from our readers to reinstate the iPad wallpaper of the week, so we are doing just that.  Here’s a wallpaper that we thought was pretty neat.  All you need to do to download this wallpaper on your iPad is simply hold your finger down on the image until the option to Save Image appears (of course you can do this with any photos or images that you have stored on your iPad or iPhone).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-66262 aligncenter&quot;

src=&quot;/appleiphone4wallpaper2thumb.jpg&quot; width=640&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Be sure to check back soon for our next wallpaper of the week.  If you have any suggestions for themes that you would like to see in future editions of the wallpaper of the week leave them in the comments or jump over to the iPad.net forums and tell us what you want to see and we will try to accommodate all requests.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A

Still pretty interesting, even though the object of all this fuss pulled out a couple of years ago. Some of the products on display drop tantalizing hints about what to expect from the iPad 2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-66719 aligncenter&quot; title=MacWrld2 height=384 alt=&quot;20110130 MacWrld2 iPad 2 News: Macworld Gives Hints About iPad 2 &quot; src=&quot;/20110130-MacWrld2.jpg&quot; width=480&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since Apple went MIA from the Macworld Expo, the spotlight has shifted from hardware to software and accessories, but there’s still plenty to see. The iPad wasn’t even on sale at last year’s expo, but this time around, accessories for Apple’s newest product were very much in evidence.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;There were iPad cases galore, but the vendors had a problem—do they show cases for the current iPad that’s about to become last year’s model or take a chance on what the iPad 2 might look like? Some case makers have just quit putting out any more merch until they know exactly what the dimensions of the iPad will be—which could happen within the next month.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/ipad-2-news-macworld-gives-hints-about-ipad-2.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=ipad-2-news-macworld-gives-hints-about-ipad-2&quot;

title=itunes height=171 alt=&quot;20110129 itunes iPad FAQ: Answers to Commonly Asked iPad Questions&quot; src=&quot;/20110129-itunes.jpg&quot; width=200&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Question: &lt;/STRONG&gt;Do I need to have a computer to make my iPad work?&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Answer: &lt;/STRONG&gt;Yes and no.  The iPad has such a wide array of functions, many of which do not require the use of a computer.  However, you definitely need a computer in order to set up your iPad using iTunes.  The Apple website provides a list of all of the computer specs that you would need in order to set up iTunes and your iPad.  Also, if you plan on web browsing you must either have the 3G version or set up your home for wireless connectivity, which obviously requires the use of a computer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/ipad-faq-answers-to-commonly-asked-ipad-questions.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=ipad-faq-answers-to-commonly-asked-ipad-questions&quot;

At the bottom of a Video-on-Demand movie was this: “Your Amazon Prime membership now includes unlimited, commercial-free, instant streaming of 5,000 movies and TV shows at no additional cost.” This sounds like a pretty good deal, since an Amazon Prime membership is $79 per year, while the same period on Netflix Watch Instantly will run you $95.88.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But don’t get excited about being able to switch over just yet, since the mysterious message has since disappeared from the Amazon site. The Watch Instantly service has certainly attracted more customers to Netflix, which saw its membership increase by 7.7 million last year, and a third of new subscribers are choosing the streaming-only option for $7.99 per month.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The market looks prime for a competitor, and Amazon seems to have what it takes to deliver. Rumors have been swirling that Amazon was interested in purchasing Netflix or starting is own video streaming service, and this info, as briefly as it appeared, would seem to confirm the speculation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/ipad-news-amazon-to-launch-streaming-video-service.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=ipad-news-amazon-to-launch-streaming-video-service&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/8940132920690704935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-news-amazon-to-launch-streaming.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/8940132920690704935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/8940132920690704935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-news-amazon-to-launch-streaming.html' title='iPad News: Amazon to Launch Streaming Video Service?'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113169039083611332.post-4136056195769832600</id><published>2011-01-31T16:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T16:15:00.102-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Valentines"/><title type='text'>iPad 2 News: No New iPad in Time for Valentine’s Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;P&gt;Apple won’t be giving us the iPad 2 as a Valentine’s Day present this year. The e-mail they sent our today proves we’ll have to wait a little longer for the big announcement.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-66774 aligncenter&quot; title=ValiPad height=422 alt=&quot;20110131 ValiPad iPad 2 News: No New iPad in Time for Valentine’s Day&quot; src=&quot;/20110131-ValiPad.jpg&quot; width=480&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;We already know that we won’t be getting an announcement about the iPad 2 in January, and an e-mail sent out by Apple today confirms that we won’t be getting one in early February, either. This morning, I found a message from Apple in my box titled “Give iPad this Valentine’s Day.” The e-mail had festive photos of the current iPad with this text: “This Valentine’s Day, give the one and only iPad. They’ll enjoy apps, games, movies, books, and more. Pick up iPad today at the Apple Retail Store. Or shop online and get free engraving and fast, free shipping.”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;So Apple is trying to sell you an iPad now to give as a gift in two weeks. But aren’t we expecting there to be a new version of the iPad by then? This e-mail makes me doubt it. Can you imagine how irate buyers would be if they purchased an iPad for full price as a Valentine’s present, then saw it become the “old model” within days? This would be a PR nightmare for Apple, and they’re way too smart to pull something like that.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/ipad-2-news-no-new-ipad-in-time-for-valentine%e2%80%99s-day.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=ipad-2-news-no-new-ipad-in-time-for-valentine%25e2%2580%2599s-day&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/4136056195769832600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-2-news-no-new-ipad-in-time-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/4136056195769832600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/4136056195769832600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-2-news-no-new-ipad-in-time-for.html' title='iPad 2 News: No New iPad in Time for Valentine’s Day'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113169039083611332.post-486888275961076227</id><published>2011-01-31T16:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T16:01:00.596-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Rescue"/><title type='text'>iPad News: Rescue Your Lost iPad Data – For $1000</title><content type='html'>&lt;P&gt;How much is the data on your iPad worth to you? If you’ve just been using it for personal use, maybe not much, but for business users, data recovery can be a life-or-death proposition.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-66785 aligncenter&quot; title=DataSav height=365 alt=&quot;20110131 DataSav iPad News: Rescue Your Lost iPad Data – For $1000&quot; src=&quot;/20110131-DataSav.jpg&quot; width=480&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Data recovery is big business for companies that depend on the security of what’s stored on their computers, but for most of us, it’s not something we deal with regularly. But as more iPads are being used by businesses, data becomes a major issue. At the recent 2011 Macworld Expo, DriveSavers announced a new service to retrieve data from iPads—for a price.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;The company claims it can perform a “logical” recovery in 24 to 48 hours, while retrieval from a physically damaged iPad requires more time. The process sounds rather daunting, as Chris “Dr Data” Bross of DriveSavers explains. The flash-based storage of the iPad requires different recovery methods than those used for computer hard drives. “iPhones and iPads based on Apple’s A4 chip include hardware-based encryption performed by the flash controller at a level lower than the filesystem itself, which makes our job even harder.”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bross expects to be working on more iPads as the Apple tablet gains acceptance with business users. “Our clients are beginning to deploy iPads in the enterprise. They want to be assured we can help them when something goes wrong, and with the extensive experience we have working with flash-based storage, we’re ready.”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/ipad-news-rescue-your-lost-ipad-data-%e2%80%93-for-1000.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=ipad-news-rescue-your-lost-ipad-data-%25e2%2580%2593-for-1000&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/486888275961076227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-news-rescue-your-lost-ipad-data.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/486888275961076227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/486888275961076227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-news-rescue-your-lost-ipad-data.html' title='iPad News: Rescue Your Lost iPad Data – For $1000'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113169039083611332.post-4859712922709112550</id><published>2011-01-31T15:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T15:43:00.234-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Details"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Features"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Report"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Taiwan"/><title type='text'>iPad 2 News: Report from Taiwan Details iPad 2 Features</title><content type='html'>&lt;P&gt;A new report from Taiwan confirms some of the rumors we’ve been hearing about the iPad 2, but refutes one big one.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-medium wp-image-66765 aligncenter&quot; title=ipad2013011.001 height=375 alt=&quot;20110131 ipad2013011001 500x375 iPad 2 News: Report from Taiwan Details iPad 2 Features&quot; src=&quot;/20110131-ipad2013011001-500x375.jpg&quot; width=500&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;A Taiwan-based analyst has just released a report that gives the most comprehensive picture of the next generation iPad that we’ve seen yet. Ming-Chi Kuo of Concord Securities sees a faster, more powerful iPad with a dual core processor and more Ram. Kuo states: “iPad 2 will use [ARM] Cortex-A9 dual core processor running at 1.2GHz. Increasing 1~2% single core processor clock results in a 3~5% power increase and dual core could get a better balance between computing power and power consumption. That’s the reason why Apple will use dual core for iPad 2.” The report adds: “iPad 2 will also have a GPU using Imagination’s SGX543 dual core graphics technology which is 200~300% powerful than iPhone 4.”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;The iPad 2 will also get a boost in RAM: “For making full use of GPU upgrading advantage, iPad 2 needs bigger memory bandwidth. So iPad 2 has 512MB RAM, same as iPhone 4 and twice as much as iPad 1, but running at higher clock 1,066 MHz for getting bigger memory bandwidth (iPhone 4 memory clock is 800 MHz).”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/ipad-2-news-report-from-taiwan-details-ipad-2-features.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=ipad-2-news-report-from-taiwan-details-ipad-2-features&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/4859712922709112550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-2-news-report-from-taiwan-details.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/4859712922709112550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/4859712922709112550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-2-news-report-from-taiwan-details.html' title='iPad 2 News: Report from Taiwan Details iPad 2 Features'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113169039083611332.post-8665570090569495022</id><published>2011-01-31T15:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T15:24:00.121-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Instant"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Previews"/><title type='text'>iPad News: iPad to Get Google Instant Previews</title><content type='html'>&lt;P&gt;If you’ve been enjoying Google’s new Instant Preview feature on the ‘net, soon you’ll be able to use it on Apple’s iOS mobile devices including the iPad.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-66796 aligncenter&quot; title=Googlprev height=386 alt=&quot;20110131 Googlprev iPad News: iPad to Get Google Instant Previews&quot; src=&quot;/20110131-Googlprev.jpg&quot; width=480&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google’s Instant Preview was introduced in November 2010, and it’s a great time saver for computer users who do a lot of searches. Instant Preview does just what the term suggests, giving you a preview of search results that highlights the relevant sections so you can see what’s on the page before loading it. Now Google is bringing the Instant Preview feature to iOS mobile devices including iPad, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is really convenient for use on the big screen of the computer, but Instant Preview should be even more so on the smaller screens of mobile devices.

iPad functionality, ipad how-tos, ipad photography apps &lt;P&gt;There is no doubt that if you are an avid photographer and a Mac user that you are quite familiar with Aperture which is known as one of the best photo editing and management tools provided by Apple.  Check out this review of an app that works between your iPad and Aperture.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-66751 aligncenter&quot;

Now there is an iGrill, which will certainly come as an ease to outside chefs everyplace.&lt;BR&gt;The iGrill is a cooking thermometer that will let the host of a BBQ socialise with visitors without needing to concern about what is sizzling or perhaps – more to the point – burning. When the meat is ready, the iGrill will beep the host’s iPhone, iPad or perhaps&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;iPod Touch through a Bluetooth link, supplying the best antidote to nerve-racking cooking. Or Perhaps as the promotion from iDevice, the manufacturer of the iGrill, wants to put it, that production is “redefining how we socialise”. “iGrill allows you to multitask between the grill and visitors with the harmony of mind that the foodstuff is absolutely cooked, at aim temperature and safe for intake,” state its makers. “Take Joy In time with family and pals without compromising the quality of the food!”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Priced at bucks Hundred (£Sixty Three), it even comes with separate probes, so there’s no more overcooking steaks or perhaps burgers just for the cause that one member of the family wants them medium well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;The iGrill is one of hundreds of goods that went on display last 7 days at San Francisco’s Macworld Expo, the show for Apple enthusiasts that Apple itself quit 2 years ago. Given the quantity of material dedicated to Apple’s mobile goods, iWorld Expo may be a more suitable name.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;There were lots of normal exhibitors at Macworld Expo, ranging from HP, which was supporting printers, to a diversity of software manufacturers. However probably the most remarkable, and positively the most vibrant colored, were the lots of iGadgets that give new uses to iPhones and iPads.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Who knew that there were so many forms of stands and holders for the iPad? The Stump, a rubberised wedge with a groove in the middle, promoted itself as 3 stands in one, as it holds the iPad in 3 diverse positions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;RingO is a little plastic and metal device that works as a table mean iPads and could in addition secure it to the wall or perhaps the back of a vehicle seat. It calls itself a global mounting system. Pad Bracket will mount the iPad to the wall, and comes in black, white or perhaps clear plastic. The Sleeve 360 is a little rotating bracket that affixes to a velcro strap that you wrap around the hand, permitting the individual to clearly hold the iPad and flip it in any direction needed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Musicians, utilizing one of lots of applications for performers, may desire the iKlip, which lets them clip iPads to mic stands. Or Perhaps there’s the Tab Station, a type of sheet music stand specially made to hold tablet PCs. Its producer, Castiv, in addition makes the Guitar Sidekick, which permits iPhones to be clipped on a guitar neck.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;There were in addition lots of protecting cases and skins to personalise and shield appliances to be uncovered at the expo.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ipad link – Google Media Reports&lt;/P&gt;Associated media reports:&lt;BR&gt;Why Application Creators Are Celebrating the iPad&lt;BR&gt;A year on, the IPad from apple is incontestably a testimonial for Apple.

Surely, the iPad Two will be quicker, have more memory, and the display resolution may be higher, however why update at all if you’re pleased with the present model?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;bucks One Hundred Forty is why.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;That’s how little 9 months of use on my 16GB Wi-FI iPad cost me (not incorporating taxation) after vending it for bucks 475. A resale value of Ninety Five per cent of the original buy cost sounds crazy, and it may be, however only if you’re acquiring at that cost. For sellers, it means a new iPad each year is well in reach.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Vending: In-individual or maybe On-line&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you live in a considerable town, you may wanna vend the iPad through a free classified service like craigslist. If so, the rules are plain: Organize for a money only, in-individual sale. I propose meeting the purchaser at an Apple Shop, where the purchaser could attempt out the iPad on the Wireless Connection network, or perhaps have a Genius look it over. Don’t forget to take the receipt to verify possession and sale date.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;If a local sale isn’t probable, eBay is the ideal wager. Love it or maybe dislike it (I as a rule fall in the second camp), eBay possibly proffers the utmost potential profit when vending an iPad, and perhaps the most risk, too, however the risks could be mitigated. For instance, I preferred not to vend internationally, in contempt of the probably lessening in ultimate sale cost. I in addition stated I wouldn’t vend to new eBay members that appeared to have registered just to bid on my iPad, nor members with scores of negative comment. Perhaps, I can have put myself in violation of eBay policies and been sanctioned, and I would have had to pay charges on a called off auction, however that’s nothing weighed against vending an iPad and not getting compensated at all. To that end, I in addition needed a PayPal account with a proved address.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;IPad by apple 16GB Wireless Connection *Guarantee* *Free Shipping*&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Auction titles on eBay could have up to Fifty Five characters. The over title has Forty Two, covers specs and why that iPad is greater than other ones, as a minimum once persons start vending iPads out from guarantee. (The iPad hasn’t yet been obtainable for a year, so technically they’re all under guarantee right now.) In Addition To the title, a picture of the real iPad and a small depiction is all you need.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;For the picture, a presentation on woodgrain floor or maybe table works ideal; not so much on an untidy desk or maybe upholstered surface. You might in addition link to pictures hosted elsewhere and stay away from added eBay image charges. As for the depiction, be sincere about the condition of the iPad, incorporating life of the battery. List all you’re vending, all of which should in addition be in the picture. Clarify why you’re vending the iPad. Make certain you give the date you acquired it, and touch up potential clients they are apt to expand the guarantee different year by buying AppleCare.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Reiterate the conditions of the sale, if you ship internationally, sorts of charge acknowledged, and what the return policy is. I would never acquire a utilized iPad devoid of option to return it, so I wouldn’t anticipate other ones to. I gave 3 days to contact me about a return, needing the purchaser to pay return shipping costs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once the sale is made, wipe the iPad. You might do that on the appliance by going to Settings &gt; Common &gt; Reset &gt; Wipe Out all Content and Settings. Charge it, shut it down, clear it scrupulously, and pack the iPad and all appliances in the original box. Pack that box in a bigger one stuffed with styrofoam peanuts or maybe different packing material. Utilizing a sort of shipping that supplies tracking and demands signature for delivery is a must. USAGround is my shipper of option. Remember, free shipping to the purchaser sets the auction apart, however it does lessen the profit, as do utilizing eBay and PayPal, however all of these measures lessen the risk and make the sale that substantially more about to go through effectively.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Profit, Loss, and Value&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;I bought my iPad for bucks Five Hundred, plus different bucks Forty in sales taxation. It vended for bucks 475 on eBay. Auction charges are Nine per cent, up to a maximum bucks Fifty, auctions being the least costly in terms of charges when vending on eBay, plus different bucks Two insertion charge. For me, the total in eBay charges was about bucks Forty Five. Adding to that a bucks Fifteen charge from PayPal for handling the monetary transaction, and about bucks Fifteen to ship through USAacross the country, and the total cost of my iPad was bucks 615. Deducting the sale cost, my iPad cost me bucks One Hundred Forty for 9 months of utilization, or maybe about Fifty cents a day.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;At Fifty cents a day, or maybe less, updating to a fresh iPad each 11 months is a value proposal that’s tough to beat. Any Person else vending in expectation of new hardware, or maybe have any other recommendation for potential sellers?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://ipadapphowto.com/how-to-sell-your-ipad-for-instant-upgrade-gratification-apple/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/3935795863610747759/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-sell-your-ipad-for-instant.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/3935795863610747759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/3935795863610747759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-sell-your-ipad-for-instant.html' title='How to Sell Your iPad for Instant Upgrade Gratification: Apple …'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113169039083611332.post-8935473395592356606</id><published>2011-01-31T14:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T14:25:00.056-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Android"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Apple"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Battle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Between"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Heats"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Market"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Media"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Newswire"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="press"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="release"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tablet"/><title type='text'>Battle Heats Up for Tablet Market Between Android and Apple Apps – Media Newswire (press release)</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;Google holds the Android market. Persons could download Android applications for free since Android is an open source market.  The program source code is in addition free with no licensing charges. In Opposition, Apple’s operating system is closed source and Windows operating system is closed source. Though Android—founded on a Linux kernel and JAVA ( in addition an open source program ) is free and will work on any hardware written to run it. Do the arithmetic and you’ll see the future.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here’s an analogy &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In Apple’s early days it ruled the market. When Microsoft came together with a system that would run on any person’s hardware, Apple lost market share. Google’s Android is poised to enter the same position Microsoft had then. The fine media reports is that Android will run on all kinds of hardware: mobile phones, Global Positioning System applications; word processing applications. It is apt to display video and gaming platforms.  It is apt to control server PCs by distant applications. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Honeycomb&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, there’s been no new tool since Apple’s iPad last year. Though coming shortly is Android 3.0, a code name for a competitive tablet called as Honeycomb capable to work on a considerable format tablet tool. Considerable format tablet appliances are 7- inch or perhaps bigger diagonal screens. The tech isn’t yet there as Android wasn’t created to run on tablets; it was created for intelligent telephones.  Though intelligent creators have already changed the Android operating system to run on a 2.2 system.  The NJIT applications to be taught in the new course will use these smaller Android systems.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;More Large Media Reports&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A 3.0 Android operating system for tablets will be on the market Feb.

Some 3.0 systems in beta are already being checked. Early adopters now could use Samsung’s 2.2 Galaxy pad which runs on an Android system.  Kellers recommended saving the cash, although, till the studies are in.

PreCentral, which first reported on the webOS tablet’s UI, is telling that they aren’t sure if the UI constituents uncovered will make it the last webOS make for the tablet or maybe if they are simply part of HP’s early blueprint planning for the Palm-developed operating system. Part of the UI disclosure made points to new gestures, web surfing, contextual pop-up boxes, and enhancements to Google Maps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;GesturesIf the UI constituents uncovered make it the last make of webOS for tablets, it appears that HP will be applying more multi-touch gestures to struggle against Apple’s iPad. Contender Apple had previewed added multi-touch gestures in the iOS 4.3 beta for the iPad, though the Cupertino, California corporation tells that those features are for creator checking and won’t make it to the buyer release of iOS 4.3. For its part, it’s uncertain how HP will use the new gestures, though the following actions will be supported in webOS:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Double Tap&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Tap &amp; drag&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Tap &amp; hold&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Two finger tap&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Two finger tap + drag&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;KeyboardThe corporation will be applying a virtual keyboard for the bigger 9.7-inch tablet. Unlike the standard iOS keyboard on the iPad, the HP webOS tablet will have space at the top for some rapid actions, like moving between diverse areas–akin to utilizing the ‘Tab’ key on a desktop keyboard, stepping through characters, and the option to cover the keyboard, which is akin to hitting the ‘back’ button on Android although HP’s realization may be more instinctive and reasonable.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Panel UITo take benefit of the bigger screen and make a more finest tablet person experience on a webOS slate, HP will be presenting a multi-pane UI. That is akin to Apple’s iPad Mail application, or maybe the mail application on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab. That would give individuals visual access to more info and will give applications a more desktop-like feel to them.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;MapsThere will be some improvements to the Google Maps UI to help give individuals more control and options of the mapping application.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Tabs and PagesOn the Palm Pre, Pixi, and Pre Two webOS smartphones, the OS permitted individuals to open numerous web browser windows through its Cards model by producing numerous web browser cards. With the bigger screen on a tablet, HP is looking at improving the person experience on the bigger screen by permitting individuals to manage their surfing session through tabs, rather than numerous Card views.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;In Addition, if HP enters the digital books market, there’s in addition a page turning view that might come in handy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://ipadapphowto.com/hp-webos-topaz-tablet-ui-leaked-gotta-be-mobile/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/5539102144202776208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/hp-webos-topaz-tablet-ui-leaked-gotta.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/5539102144202776208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/5539102144202776208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/hp-webos-topaz-tablet-ui-leaked-gotta.html' title='HP webOS Topaz Tablet UI Leaked – Gotta Be Mobile'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113169039083611332.post-8597217840062351527</id><published>2011-01-31T13:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T13:57:00.869-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Compiler"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="DesignWare"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Eases"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Integration"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Interface"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Memory"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Newswire"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="press"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="release"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Synopsys"/><title type='text'>Synopsys’ DesignWare DDR PHY Compiler Eases Integration of Memory Interface IP – PR Newswire (press release)</title><content type='html'>&lt;P&gt;/PRNewswire/ — Synopsys, Inc.

That utilized to be where Steve Occupations set up store to flaunt Apple’s newest wares till 2009 when they commenced hosting their personal occurrences (which we fundamentally constantly attend.) That convention has been going on since 1985 and is usually acknowledged as being type of “past it’s prime” though is still going comparatively great. That year’s Macworld took place January Twenty Fifth through the Twenty Ninth, and dismissed the concept that no Apple keynote means no Macworld FOREVER!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of the general things of note at that year’s convention is, evidently, the quantity of iPad cases on the floor. The quantity of cases for iDevices of all kinds – iPod Touch and iPhone incorporated, are in essence limitless, in color, blueprint, shape, and function. In preceding years, huge quantities of iPhone cases and earlier on iPod cases reigned ultimate.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;There’s in addition Mac stuff, too, incase you forgot that Apple made notebooks and personal computers, sellers slinging Time Machine backups, document and video converters of all kinds, and even Windows virtualization were there to recall you. 3rd-party appliances were in addition in attendance, specifically those working with speaker systems, hardware for storage, and fundamentally all else you’d discover in an Apple shop, though from different trademarks more than expectedly desiring to discover their way in.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Amongst the winners of the treasured Supreme In Show award were the following:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;• Awind McTiVia acts as a broker between the Mac and the HDTV in a way the Apple Television SHOULD.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;• BusyMac BusyToDo is a to-do list that works with iCal (already set up on the Mac) and MobileMe and syncs all of them in true-time.

You had a several platforms and a handful of models to make an option from. Things have replaced a lot this day. You now have over 6 platforms out there with hundreds of diverse models between them, priced pretty near to one another. It does not help matters when a number of telephones are equal to one another however simply running a diverse trademark of operating system.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You could select what features you wish in the telephone however what about the operating system? There’s no way you could choose from them looking at the spec sheet alone. Being in a position where we get to use whole lot of the most recent smartphones on whole lot of the diverse platforms, we think we’ve responds to the operating system associated questions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Aesthetics&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;iOS is the oldest of the 4 platforms here. Even if it is 4-and-a-50Per Cent-years of age now and has hardly undergone any major UI makeover, it still looks remarkable. The UI blueprint has a sense of timelessness to it and regardless of how a lot of times you look at it it doesn’t look monotonous. Apple has in addition made it in a manner where it is out from the way nearly all of the time so that you could focus on the applications. That means there are no pointless animations and transition effects and whatsoever little is there looks organic and is operating.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Android on the different side has gone through significant alters since its first iteration and has only got good with age. Having said that, over the years it has lost several of its simplicity and picked up some UI blueprint ingredients that appear overdone, for example the 3D image gallery or perhaps the live wallpapers, which serve no operating value whatever and just take in assets for pointless eye sweetie. That demeanor is at chances with the standard Google way of creating things, where efficiency takes precedents over appeal. Still, total it is an appealing OS and even though it lacks the timeless appeal of the iOS or perhaps the up to date look of Windows Telephone Seven, it manages to look very good. Too adverse you rarely get to see the true Android under the custom skins.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The most recent entrant in the planet of smartphones, Windows Telephone Seven took the planet by surprise when it was first announced, partially as nobody anticipated Microsoft to come up with somewhat that was so fresh and contemporary. The appeal of the UI blueprint on Windows Telephone Seven is unlike whatever thing that you have seen before on different smartphones.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unlike different operating systems here, specifically Android, which borrowed severely from iOS at first for their UI blueprint, Microsoft came up with somewhat that was entirely original and yet extraordinarily attractive. So great is the UI blueprint that most persons would be allured in purchasing a Windows Telephone Seven tool founded on the look itself.Ease of use&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Creating a fine-looking interface is one thing. Creating a fine-looking interface that is in addition easy to use is different and nobody does that greater than Apple. If you do not believe us just search on-line for videos where youngsters are given an iPad or perhaps an iPhone and in minutes they find a way to work out the essentials.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In our experience iOS has turned out to be the easiest mobile operating system, where all was so clear and clear that anybody who utilized it for the first time, notwithstanding age, can figure it out without requiring to allude to a manual. The cause of that is that it doesn’t guess that the person knows how to use it and due to that you could go around doing fundamental things without any help. It is extraordinarily intuitional and makes you wonder why other ones have not makes out a way to make their software work that way. It feels as if it was made with ordinary people in mind, not robots or perhaps geeks. We loved the keyboard specifically.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Next in line of intuitiveness is Android. It doesn’t have the same degree of simplicity as iOS, were you could separate you brain and still find a way to work the interface, however it is still pretty easy nevertheless. Unluckily, you’d rarely get to use stock Android on each telephone you use, which means if you’re somebody who is not a geek and are utilized to, tell, an HTC Android telephone, you’ll be lost when you pick up a Samsung Android telephone. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So even if Google and the OEMs attempt to make the UI easy to use, the idea that there are so many diverse sorts of them is bound to leave a layperson mixed up.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Things now work the way they must and there’s no more a doubt in the mind if clicking somewhat will just spotlight it or perhaps start it. We still do not like the way the applications are scattered across the menu and the on-screen keyboard can have been greater. However total the most recent version of Symbian is pretty easy to use, and unlike Android, you do not have to concern about diverse interface layouts on diverse tools.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Windows Telephone Seven may look remarkable however it is not the ideal when it comes to ease of use. There are some things that are not straight away evident, for example the way you have to press and hold on definite things to display extra options. Then there’s in addition the quirky demeanor of the search button or perhaps the little call/end keys and the require to unlock the screen before you could get a call. However more than whatever thing, it is the shortage of fundamental features for example multitasking and copy-paste for text that indeed makes things complicated for the persons. We do love the keyboard although, which is on par with the keyboard on Gingerbread and nearly as well as the one on iOS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Features&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Features was never a great point of iOS, however over the years Apple has added tons of efficiency to the OS, for example the power to set up applications, multitasking, copy-paste, folders, and so on. iOS this day leaves pretty little room for protest. Though, there are some things that Apple is yet to take concern of for example Bluetooth file transfers, file executive, mass storage, homescreen widgets and FM radio to name several, however we’ve a feeling none of these will ever be addressed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Auspiciously, Apple does add extra efficiency with each major firmware update however more frequently than not they are restricted by newer tools, while the older ones get the small end of the stick.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Android’s largest benefit over iOS has been the features and with the most recent release Android has nearly each feature that you can wish, if it is multitasking, widgets, tethering, Wireless Connection hotspot or perhaps Adobe Flash support. It feels the most complete out from whole lot of the 4 platforms here in terms of features, and if features are all that you’re seeking for then you’d be happiest with Android.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That is one factor where Windows Telephone Seven fails miserably. For an operating system starting in 2010, Microsoft has omitted some pretty major things. Even Though they’re stating they’ll ultimately incorporate nearly all of them through updates we feel they must have had them from day one. While it was excusable to omit on those things back in 2007, Microsoft has no such pardon, considering they were in the smartphone business even before Windows Telephone Seven. It does have some great features, for example the homescreen tiles, Xbox Live support, Zune pass and Office incorporation, however we do not think that will be enough to rival against the adversaries.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SMS REV to 59995 to get professional studies on most recent telephones, netbooks, cameras and more.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SMS TIPS to 59995 to get Hints and Tricks for telephones, netbooks, cameras and more.Rs.

Apple has had 2 notable record quarters in a row with the iPhone and the iPad being clear supreme sellers and that trend will potentially carry on in the following quarters as Apple is obviously attempting to make as many units as probable. We could only suppose that, in addition to raising AP orders from Samsung the corporation has in addition placed significant orders of different iPhone and iPad parts with the rest of its vendors.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Apple will end up being the most significant Samsung mobile chips buyers in 2011 as the South Korean enormous will in fact use less of its own comparable mobile chips for the Galaxy S or perhaps Galaxy Tab, smartphone and tablet, respectively, families.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regardless Of the reality Apple and Samsung are fierce adversaries in different areas, Apple is acquiring tons of constituents from Samsung. In Addition To the custom processors manufactured by Samsung, Apple is in addition buying bulk amounts of DRAM and NAND flash memory, Flat Panel displays and different parts.

His latest effort, Minotaur Rescue, is just as crazy as previous accomplishments, but it’s one of those games that, when everything clicks, you won’t be able to put it down. If you are looking for a little action this Sunday afternoon this game is worth a look.  Find out why, after the break.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/jeff-minters-minotaur-rescue-brings-retro-shooter-mayhem-to-the-ipad-and-iphone.html&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-64135&quot; title=&quot;Jeff Minters Minotaur Rescue brings retro shooter mayhem to the iPad and iPhone&quot; height=405 alt=&quot;20110107 minotaur icon3 Jeff Minters Minotaur Rescue brings retro shooter mayhem to the iPad and iPhone&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/media/images/2011/01/20110107-minotaur-icon3.jpg&quot; width=400&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;The game is basically a trippy combination of Asteroids&lt;/EM&gt; and Space War!&lt;/EM&gt; played on the screen of the iPhone or iPad and marks the first in a series of Llamasoft games that are part of the “Minotaur Project,” an effort by the developer to release numerous titles featuring retro gameplay, progressing forward from the Atari VCS aesthetic to the VIC 20, Commodore 64, and beyond.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dripping with 80s nostalgia, this challenging gem tasks you with guiding a ship (equipped with a Mark Super Seven Quantum Drive) through space, where the goal is to grab Minotaurs floating by while at the same time preventing them and large asteroids from traveling into the sun, which transforms into a black hole if it consumes too many objects. Meanwhile, flying saucers appear at random to make the game even crazier.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/jeff-minters-minotaur-rescue-brings-retro-shooter-mayhem-to-the-ipad-and-iphone.html&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG class=&quot;size-full wp-image-64132 aligncenter&quot; title=&quot;Jeff Minters Minotaur Rescue brings retro shooter mayhem to the iPad and iPhone&quot; height=355 alt=&quot;20110107 MinotaurRev2 Jeff Minters Minotaur Rescue brings retro shooter mayhem to the iPad and iPhone&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/media/images/2011/01/20110107-MinotaurRev2.jpg&quot; width=475&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;It comes as a Universal app that natively supports both the iPhone and the iPad, consists of an active starfield play area with a sun at the center. In its core gameplay mode, you control an ever-firing ship that can fly about this starfield (wrapping at the edges) and is affected by the intense gravitational pull of the aforementioned sun. And so, too, are the asteroids closing in from the edges. Your job is to blast apart these asteroids (as opposed to slamming into them), some of which contain minotaurs that must be rescued before they drift into the sun. If too many asteroids drift into the sun, it will turn into a black hole…which is bad. The closer to the sun a minotaur gets before you rescue him, the more points you gain for said rescue. And, the more minotaurs you rescue and the closer you are to the sun, the faster your auto-fire tosses out rounds. Just to keep you fully on your toes, the occasional enemy saucer passes through (and some are tiny), shooting at you and dropping mines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/jeff-minters-minotaur-rescue-brings-retro-shooter-mayhem-to-the-ipad-and-iphone.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=jeff-minters-minotaur-rescue-brings-retro-shooter-mayhem-to-the-ipad-and-iphone&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/2741722010742404566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/jeff-minters-minotaur-rescue-brings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/2741722010742404566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/2741722010742404566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/jeff-minters-minotaur-rescue-brings.html' title='Jeff Minter’s Minotaur Rescue brings retro shooter mayhem to the iPad and iPhone'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113169039083611332.post-1578093988300450347</id><published>2011-01-23T13:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T13:44:00.327-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="continues"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="debate"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Screen"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="variations"/><title type='text'>The iPad 2 Screen debate continues.

Kevin Rose from Digg is also now saying that the resolution of the iPad 2 will be the same as the first generation iPad, even though he is the one who started the iPad 2 retina display rumor.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Meanwhile, many tech sites such as 9to5mac&lt;/EM&gt; found screenshots related to the upcoming iPad 2 camera app in the beta of iOS 4.3 released earlier this month, and these screenshots clearly show a resolution of 1024×768.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/the-ipad-2-screen-debate-continues-two-variations.html?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=the-ipad-2-screen-debate-continues-two-variations&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/feeds/1578093988300450347/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-2-screen-debate-continues-two.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/1578093988300450347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/113169039083611332/posts/default/1578093988300450347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getfreeipad.blogspot.com/2011/01/ipad-2-screen-debate-continues-two.html' title='The iPad 2 Screen debate continues.

The most obvious is with iTunes, but this is clunky and requires syncing. A much simpler, and elegant solution is to use one of our favourite apps, Dropbox. Find out how to do this after the break.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/how-to-use-add-pdf-books-to-ibooks-on-your-ipad-using-dropbox.html&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG class=aligncenter title=&quot;How to use add PDF books to iBooks on your iPad, using Dropbox&quot; height=294 alt=&quot;image thumb12 How to use add PDF books to iBooks on your iPad, using Dropbox&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/media/images/2011/01/image_thumb12.png&quot; width=332 border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;One solution that may work for you if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch is to copy the link to the PDF from the Dropbox app, then paste it in Safari. At that point you’ll be prompted to open it, and you can select iBooks. This method won’t work if you’re running iOS 4 on your iPhone or iPod Touch until Dropbox updates the app to work with iOS 4.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Another solution for folks using and iPhone or iPod Touch (including those using iOS 4) is to use Safari and navigate to the web version of your Dropbox account. From there, you can tap the PDF (in Safari) and it will prompt you to download and then open with iBooks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dropbox is a fantastic service that allows you to store files (2GB for &lt;STRONG&gt;free&lt;/STRONG&gt;, or $9.99 per month / $99.00 per year for 50GB) online. It also syncs those files across all of the computers you own that have the Dropbox software installed, and, you can access all of your stored files via a web browser on any computer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Lets get started. Add a PDF file (or several) to your Dropbox account. Once the PDF has been uploaded, open up the Dropbox app on your iPad (iPhone, iPod Touch…).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/how-to-use-add-pdf-books-to-ibooks-on-your-ipad-using-dropbox.html&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG class=aligncenter title=&quot;How to use add PDF books to iBooks on your iPad, using Dropbox&quot; height=147 alt=&quot;image thumb13 How to use add PDF books to iBooks on your iPad, using Dropbox&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/media/images/2011/01/image_thumb13.png&quot; width=126 border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Tap the “Dropbox” button in the very upper-left corner of the app. Navigate through your Dropbox folders to locate the PDF file that you want to add to iBooks. Select it by tapping it once.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/how-to-use-add-pdf-books-to-ibooks-on-your-ipad-using-dropbox.html&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG class=aligncenter title=&quot;How to use add PDF books to iBooks on your iPad, using Dropbox&quot; height=293 alt=&quot;image thumb14 How to use add PDF books to iBooks on your iPad, using Dropbox&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ipad.net/media/images/2011/01/image_thumb14.png&quot; width=379 border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;3.

Although Apple has effectively managed to hold iPad Two under the wraps and declined to note on any speculations, the World Wide Web story will has been working extra time churning out all information of the much-expected iPad Two.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Base on the gossips around the blogsphere up till now, here’s what we know about the potential features of the iPad Two.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Screen Resolution&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;The astounding display was one of the major aspects which played a part to the overwhelming reputation of the iPad. And there’s no cause why Apple wouldn’t work tirelessly to make it even much better in its next iPad offering. Although gossips are gripe that the iPad would get the Retina Display, I’m unsure if the huge screen dimensions make it a viable proposal. As An Alternative, the prospect of doubling the subsisting iPad resolution (1024×768) to 2048×1536 at 260 DPI sounds more probably. Apple doubled the screen resolution when it went from iPhone 3GS (480×320) to iPhone Four (960×640) so if history is whatever thing to go by, the chances are that the organization would play the “double the resolution” card yet again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cameras&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;In Contempt Of being a self-proclaimed Apple loyalist, I strongly believe that Apple screwed up large time by not incorporating a camera in the original iPad. A widely known stating goes that It’s never too late to correct the missteps and it looks Apple wishes to overcompensate for the earlier glaring omission by adding 2 cameras – front and rear in the new iPad. Certainly, Apple has learnt its lessons from the exceptional success of dual camera bundled with FaceTime approach and I see no cause why it won’t encash the same on the new iPad.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Certainly, made-in cameras come at a cost and bundling 2 of them would further exert pricing pressure so I won’t be amazed if Apple prefers to use a high-end rear-facing camera while filling out with a low-end front-facing VGA camera.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;SD Slot&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Apple critics frequently point out that iPad’s storage capacities and the present process to transfer photographs leave a lot to be needed. Although the organization proffers a camera link kit, it hasn’t precisely confirmed to be a bestseller appliance for the iPad. Having a special SD slot made-in would help Apple set the record straight and help spread iPad’s reputation as photograph-friendly tablet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Speaker&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;With an attractive screen, the iPad is certainly an extraordinary tool for watching videos and films. Probably, the only drawback is the absence of powerful wide-range speakers to supply the home theater experience. MacOtakara, a Japanese web-log, has even released mockup of what the new wide-range speaker will appear as. While there’s no authority to these gossips as of now, a much better audio experience with a considerable wide-ranged speaker would certainly be welcome by all iPad lovers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Narrower Bezel, Flatter Back&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;I strongly believe that no different appliance manages to match the styling proffered by Apple’s goods and the iPad is no exclusion to that rule. Apple is rumored to be styling the iPad Two to remind a flat-backed iPod Touch. Further, it’s anticipated that iPad Two screen bezels would be a little smaller compared to present iPad.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Home Button&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was panic-affected when my iPad’s Home button stopped working last year. It renders that incredible tool totally worthless. So, I, for one, certainly might’t envision the iPad Two doing away with a Home button in favor of multi-touch gestures. It would be too large a change from usability perspective and I’m sure that a major part of present iPad holders would quite be delighted with a new tool with a Home button.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Start Date&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;And now the all essential question – when does the planet get to see the iPad Two? Although Apple wishes to hold it a quiet business and then start with an abrupt bang, “unfailing sources” from MacNotes.de tell that the next-generation iPad is planned to be released in the USA on either April Two or perhaps April Nine, 2011. The original iPad started on April 3,2010 so I won’t be amazed if history repeats itself in April that year.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Either way, the earlier the much better! I just might’t wait to get my hands on the iPad Two as and when it reaches the destination. What about you? In the opinion, what are the most preferable features for the iPad Two? Would you update to iPad Two when it’s accessible? If so, why?
