This time may be the right time: the iPad (specifically the iPad 2) is getting an iPad-specific version of the beloved Skype app – with working cameras!
That’s cool for most users that still haven’t moved to the Facetime side of modern communication!
ZDNet has been able to preview the iPad-specific version of the Skype app and published several new pics along some pretty info.
Performance issues and worries?
Although Skype for iPad will work on both iPad versions, you’ll only be able to broadcast video from the iPad 2, since it has a …

Business Insider reports in detail on iPad usage, hours per day, user experience, other mobile device comparison etc.
Some interesting facts:
28% users have promoted their iPad as primary computer
31% of computing daytime is now spent on iPad (vs. other devices)

Guess what? No iPad 2 competition – yet!

Apple’s latest iOS tablet isn’t just for fun or the home and office as the Apple iPad 2 can also be used as a good educational tool, and as such Kindergartners in Auburn, Maine are to get given an Apple iPad 2 to use in the classroom.
According to an article on The Sun Journal, reporter Bonnie Washuk says, “The $200,000 cost for the iPad 2 tablets will be less than hiring more teachers. It probably would take four teachers to do what the computers can do with one teacher.”

Apparently some …

Update to our previous iOS 4.3 post: iOS 4.3′s new Personal Hotspot works on iPhone 3GS – albeit only with cable and Bluetooth pairing!
Long-time friend Enrico has just tested iOS 4.3 on an iPhone 3GS and checked that Personal Hotspot, the internet connection sharing feature of 4.3, runs happily although only via the iPhone cable or a Bluetooth-paired connection.
So, as far as we know, Wi-Fi sharing is available only for iPhone 4.
As a result, iPhone 3GS users can still enjoy their beloved toy and share connectivity to iPad (non-3G) or …

Apple iOS 4.3 is now available for download from Apple for all iPad, iPhone 4 and 3GS, iPod touch (3gen and 4gen)!
We’re now testing and trying out all new features and will report soon.
A brief feature list include:

improved Safari Javascript engine and overall speed
Airplay: now greatly enhanced and available to most multimedia devices in your home!
iTunes sharing (at last!)
Personal hotspot (iPhone 4 only): the perfect solution to turn your iPhone 4 into a wireless gateway for all devices (and get over tethering).

Ikea did it again!
Meet Klamby, the “photo-frame-tripod” that almost every iPad has been waiting for!
It fits so perfectly the iPad (shape, size and look) we may well call it iKlamby!
I just got it from the local Ikea and I’m amazed how simple stuff gets the job done: it’s just 3,95 euros (around 5 US $) and outperforms a lot of more expensive solutions.
Tilted at around 26 degrees, it’s great for viewing movies, browsing and … well, everything!

Unboxing the iKlamby

Installing…

Perfect for landscape browsing…

… great for portrait viewing as well!

Tilting angle? 26°!
Oh, …

You cannot have a multiuser iPad, but can definitely have a multiuser browser inside it.
Its name is Switch. Its multiuser capabilities are thought with security in mind, for the user and for the other users too!
There’s a guest account for extra privacy and the occasional friend that asks to have a look at the Internet.
Recurring users can use the same Switch and have each one their logins and passwords for every account on every site they visit, without other user being able to tamper with that (they are supposed to …

Our search for the dream workplace has landed in Britain, precisely at that curious newspaper for finance moguls and hat-wearing gentlemen from Lombard Street, the Financial Times.
Their CEO, John Ridding, announced that every staff member (hey, 1,800 people) will get a £ 300 (US$ 480) rebate against the purchase of an iPad before June 30th, 2011.
Ridding said the the rebate is either a reward for the good job done on the iPad and an encouragement to get skilled and experienced about tablets.
The free Financial Times app made one million English …

It’s our pleasure to make a little publicity for Logic Consulting’s BaDaBing 1.0, a touch drum kit for the iPad.
BaDaBing includes more more crashes and toms than any other similar app and the response time from touch to sound is unsurpassed. The animations of the drum kit provide the user instant visual feedback in addition to sound. The drum surfaces depress and the crashes rock back and forth giving the user a complete experience.
Even with such a bonanza, the app is free, with some ad inside, or US$ 0.99, …

Did you read all that bullshit about the iPad being a consumption device, neither good for work nor content production?
Well, Damon Albarn told NME to have recorded his new Gorillaz album on an iPad.
I’ve made it on an iPad – I hope I’ll be making the first record on an iPad, Damon said. I fell in love with my iPad as soon as I got it, so I’ve made a completely different kind of record.
Now it’s clear that whatever you read in the past about iPad not being able to …

Game instructions are pretty straightforward.
What you do is simply tap the falling dudes so their parachutes open. You then tap the coins that pop up for extra scores as well as the aliens, birds and balloons that fly by.
Dudes are falling from the sky! They may look smart, but they don’t know how to open their parachutes! Rescue them by tapping on the dudes. As thanks for saving their lives they can reward you with coins. You will see other (unidentified) objects flying trough the sky, tap them for extra …

This is the email we sent to the publisher’s Contact Us address:
Dear Sirs,
I bought Editor for iPad and I’m really, deeply unsatisfied of the result.
The app is excessively slow in accepting text input and characters appear on screen with an unacceptable delay on the actual typing having place.
The text cursor goes wildly offset and doesn’t match the actual writing position on screen, so that – to place the cursor in line X – I must tap the screen two or three lines down.
The app requires every file to be manually …

Bob Evans for InformationWeek:
Out here at the InformationWeek 500 Conference, I was talking last night with a few CIOs about the iPad and what it is that makes it so special: why lots of big companies in various industries are turning to Apple’s latest bit of wizardry.
And as I listened to the wisdom of our audience, I think the answer finally penetrated even my thick skull: the iPad allows individuals and companies to do what they could not do before. […]
The iPad engages its users to move beyond mere productivity—applying …

We feel it’s our duty to inform about the Crux360 clamshell-keyboard Bluetooth case for the iPad.
The case sports four modes: Laptop Mode, that turns the iPad in a sort of netbook; Movie Mode turns the screen to face the opposite way to the keyboard to watch movies; Tablet Mode flips the screen to lie flat against the back of the keyboard, and Carry Mode, where the screen stays protected inside the case.
The Crux360 feels solid and well engineered. Anyway, we would never consider a device that wants to put a …

Interactive Alphabet from Pi’ikea was awarded as Best Kids’ iPad app of the year from iLounge, as part of their annual Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards.
Among many learn-the-alphabet-and-pretend-to-have-fun apps, Interactive Alphabet is actually funny to use for toddlers, pre-schoolers and parents thanks to massive interactivity and lots of graphic and sound effects.
The app is universal and runs on iPhone and iPod touch too, for US$ 2.99 or € 2.39.
When every letter is an authentic toy, every touch is lots of fun.

Stop analyst bullshit and rejoice from bullshit from iPad competitors indeed!
ViewSonic thinks 45 million tablet computers will be sold in 2011 and that half of these will be iPads, according to DigiTimes.
ViewSonic itself wishes to grab 10 percent of the other, non-iPad half, getting 5 percent of the global pie. [My head is about to jam, please stop with numbers.—Ed.]
The difference between analysts and ViewSonic is that the latter wants to make a living out of their sales and analysts make a living of whatever bullshit they write. So they …
