Site Stuff – Away for a Few Days

Just a quick heads-up for all you lovely readers. I’m leaving a little later this morning on a little mini family getaway down to the coast. I may post a few things when we have down time away from the beach, but it will likely be very little and probably off-topic or related to traveling with the iPad.

We’re driving home Monday and I should be back to posting as normal on Tuesday.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Kindle App Updated – Books Now Display in Two Columns in Landscape Mode

The Kindle app has been updated this week, to Version 2.3. One of the notable changes for iPad users of the universal app is that it now shows a two-column view when you’re in landscape mode.

I agree with my friend Dan over at Gear Diary, that this simple change is a very welcome one.

You can find this latest version of the Kindle app in the App Store now, and it’s still a free app.

iPad at Work: for the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs

Photo Credit: Steve Russell / TORONTO STAR

The Toronto Maple Leafs have adopted iPads and other Apple devices as their primary workstations for analyzing game footage and play-by-play updates, directly on the bench.

The iPad really is continuing to show off its usefulness in so many different use-case scenarios every day. From enterprises to kindergarten classrooms. From university lecture halls to an NHL team’s bench. I have to think the iPad is going to end up being widely adopted by sports coaches at all levels, from Little League sort of levels to all the major pro sports.

Here’s hoping none of those hulking, big stick wielding hockey blokes gets angry at an iPad on that Maple Leafs bench.

Crazy iPad Numbers – One Analyst Predicts Sales of 45 Million Next Year

I’ve seen quite a few predictions of massive sales for iPad in 2011, but this one this week is the highest yet:

Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White reports that Apple is developing a smaller version of its uber-popular iPad and suggests that sales numbers of the original iPad could reach 45 million in 2011.

Forbes tells us the analyst is in China and speaking to iPad component suppliers, one claims he’s anticipating shipping enough parts to pump out 13 million iPads in the second half of 2010. And the supplier expects this to hit 45 million next year.

Another recent prediction I saw was for iPad sales of around 36 million next year. It’s going to be pretty fascinating to see the next set of figures Apple releases on this

More iPad Mini Rumors This Week

which both sound very far-fetched.

When I first saw rumors about new 7 inch iPads, I thought they would not be of any interest to me. Thinking on it more, and seeing mockups like the one shown above, has me much more interested in a possible Mini model. I certainly would not want it to replace the current size though, I’d want it to be another option. What do you think? Would a new smaller iPad model be of interest?

NYT: Apple making iPhone for Verizon

hank. just so you know, verizon, or any cell providers, employees are a bunch of no nothing clowns. they are constantly spouting off “knowledge” they don’t have.

on another note. if it does go verizon it won’t make a difference to me…….unless the verizon version doesn’t have the death grip, in which case im just going to start throwing things

Gren says:October 9, 2010 at 8:13 am

iPhone 4 is great but it’s hard to find a great case for it they are all just doesn’t fit irght. My friend recommend me this website – http://www.ihandystore.com they sell so called iDecal case andI must say I didn’t thought it would be so cool, it’s just what I was needed. This case makes my iPhone 4 looking cool and It’s dock friendly. Be sure to check them out these guys can be trusted.

Shrike says:October 9, 2010 at 10:16 am

If it is released in Q1 11, it’ll just be a plain old EVDO/1xRTT phone. An LTE/EVDO/1xRTT phone would be way too early for Apple. Maybe in June if good low power LTE chipsets are out.

The bigger question is if the Verizon logo appears on it. I hope not. That’ll dilute Apple’s brand.

Android founder says carriers add value, we do a spit take

about it almost every day, thats what carriers do!! they nickel and dime and change things so ignorant average joes “fork” over their money to them. its beautiful! i absolutely love it! having said that, i’m informed enough to purchase my devices with as little bloatware as possible, modifying(rooting) them in cases where need be. carriers are ALWAYS going to try to screw you, that will never change, these “mini computer” phones dont actually cost $200, they’re much more expensive. the only way to give them to people at that price is to “cripple” them as you say with programs and “bloatware”.quit bitching rene, go read a book or go outside. dude, its just a phone.

Shane says:October 8, 2010 at 10:24 pm

Pssh.. Installing iTunes is the biggest slap in the face piece of bloat-ware EVER.. I’ll take a damn nascar icon I have to avoid over installing iTunes on any machine / any day.

Quantum says:October 8, 2010 at 10:43 pm

With all the Android devices released in the past year, you would think the OEMs would have gotten it right by now. Plus they definitely aren’t looking or listening to what customers want since they are still loading up the bloatware….

menno says:October 8, 2010 at 10:48 pm

One could argue the value was branding. Think about mindshare for android before the “Droid Does” campaign.

I agree that most (maybe all) “enhancements” carriers bring to android are negative. But at the same time, android wouldn’t be nearly as big as it is today without the marketing dollars, Verizon (droid) Sprint (evo) and even Tmobile (mytouch) put into the OS. I think andy rubin knows this, and android’s not at the point (yet) where he can bite the hand that feeds.

Is iPhone 4 “Glassgate” real?

Analog Spirit says:October 9, 2010 at 7:44 pm

The glass back looks cool and all, but I think on the next model they need to make it out of something more durable; I don’t know, carbon fiber, maybe? Just as long as it didn’t interfere with the signal. And they should use Corning Gorilla Glass for the front. Just some ideas…

SheiknetChris says:October 9, 2010 at 7:51 pm

I was going to post something very similar as Analog Spirit:

Replacement backs in alternative materials would be pretty easy for even a third party to do: carbon fiber(!), graphite, metal (if it is made to not touch the antenna), and especially wood. No, it wouldn’t have an apple logo, but you already know it’s an iPhone, so no big.

Surprised I haven’t even seen these around yet.

SheiknetChris says:October 9, 2010 at 8:00 pm

After a fit of face-palm time, I do see there are some available (none looked particularly appealing in my initial search), it is obvious why there aren’t widespread: it would void your warranty.(Unless you cleanly and sneakily put the original back on.)

Do You Care If iPad Magazines Go Both Ways?

and for some interesting reasons.

The latest issue of Sports Illustrated only supports viewing in "landscape" mode, as the publication has said that they were forced to cut costs because Apple does not allow iPad subscriptions at "a reasonable price."

My initial reaction to SI’s decision is that it’s a bad move.  I really like the ability to switch between landscape and portrait views when reading and in many apps in fact. Depending on time of day and where I’m reading something, one mode may be far more comfortable than the other.

Target to Start Selling iPads October 3

>>I’m glad to see Target added to the list as we’ve got one just down the road from us and if they start carrying iPad accessories then that’s another handy place to check them out.<<

This move could make buying accessories worse, not better, at least in the short term.

Even without Target, there are not enough accessories for all of the stores that want to sell them. A few miles from here a BestBuy is right next to a Target. I assume neither one will have the camera adapter or case I want to buy.

iPad at Work – with Archeologists at Pompeii

iPad is revolutionizing how scientists work in the field. Rather than recording notes and sketches on paper, researchers at the site use iPad and apps to capture invaluable historical data faster, more easily, and with far better accuracy.

It’s getting to be where a day almost doesn’t go by where I don’t see reports of the iPad in use at another educational institution or in another line of work. Today, thanks to a great post over at Gear Diary, I came across this Apple case study of the iPad’s use by a team of archeologists at Pompeii.

Here’s a little more on how the team from the University of Cincinnati came to choose the iPad to work with:

The idea of using iPad to collect the massive data the project would generate came from Ellis’s University of Cincinnati colleague John Wallrodt, an expert on digital databases for archaeological projects. Wallrodt had looked unsuccessfully into using various tablet devices for field research, but when iPad was introduced in January 2010, he knew at once that it was right for their project. Says Wallrodt,

BlackBerry announces 7-inch PlayBook tablet, iPad competition heats up

sheriknetChris, I think yearly refreshes are a good pace, gives you a solid year with your device before it’s outdated, therefor eliminating buyers remorse.. My roomate bought the Droid 2 soon after launch, just to find out that not a full month later, they were discontinuing his model and making the world model with a 1.2 ghz processor.. I’d be frankly pissed if apple did this to their faithful.

iPad at Work – at Lloyds of London

Apple’s iPad has broken into yet another enterprise sector, this time the insurance industry with internationally-known insurer, Lloyds, working with brokers to test use of the Apple device in its underwriting room.

The trial began this month and will see iPads used instead of the more traditional underwriting slips. Brokers, Marsh, Cooper Gay and RK Harrison Group are testing the Apple devices.

Its hard to think of a more blue chip name than Lloyds of London when it comes to international financial institutions.  This news is further evidence that the iPad is already having far more impact in the enterprise arena than anyone (except maybe Steve Jobs and a few other Apple execs) expected.

Big New Features for iPad in the iOS 4.2 Software Update

New Features for iPad

The Big Four

Multitasking: For me, and many others I’m sure, this is THE big headline addition.  iOS 4.2 will bring much greater multitasking capabilities to the iPad.  Just as we’ve already seen on the iPhone, 3rd party apps can now remain running in the background for several clear purposes – e.g Pandora playing music, and navigation apps).  More importantly, for me anyway, 4.2 gives us an easy and elegant solution for rapid app switching.  A quick double-tap on the home button brings up the Multitasking Bar (shown in the screencap at the top of this post), from where you can quickly launch any of your recently run apps. Rapid app switching makes me far more productive on the iPad and iPhone.

iPod nano fashion: a lady’s best high-tech friend?

iPod nano earring

Yes the new iPod nano are very capable of being used as earrings. It is easy to use some two part epoxy and attach a loop and then a regular fishhook earring holder. It is a bit heavy for an earring (though I have worn heavier). It would also present the same issue of not being able to easily change your application or music. For the picture I just clipped the nano right onto my ear, this was not the most comfortable of ways to wear it, however, nor was it very secure.

My Favorite iPad Apps List

an opportunity to cull less-used apps, devise new ways to arrange apps and home screens, and spend some time thinking on which are really your favorite and most used apps.

So I did some of that culling and thinking while getting my new iPad setup just as I want it during the course of its first couple days with me.

My culling was pretty effective, even though I still have nine screens worth of apps (though some of them are not completely full).

For what it’s worth, here is my latest approach to the organization of my home screens on the iPad, and which apps I’ve found are my current favorite / most used ones – with some quick thoughts on some of those apps as well:

USA Today – Maybe the First Test of iPad’s Ability to Save Publishing

In a drastic shake-up, USA Today is restructuring in order to focus more on mobile and iPad content and less on print.

That’s just the opening slice of a recent report at Apple Insider on the plans for USA Today to focus more on the iPad and mobile rather than its traditional print medium. One of the

Will Apple Announce a New 7 Inch iPad Model at Next Week’s Event?

Special event’ on September 1.

I don’t see how Apple can not do this.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is an Android 2.2-based tablet with a seven-inch screen.

It looks damn slick in this promo video.

I don’t see how Apple can let smaller and less-expensive tablets such as this tempt people away from the iPad.

The iPad is vulnerable both on the issues of price and size.

I don’t feel 100% convinced we’ll see this announced next week, but I do think Mike’s argument makes sense.  Check out his two posts on this subject here:

What do you all think of a 7-inch iPad model?  Will we see one soon?  Would you want one at this new size?

My New Favorite iPad Wallaper – Landscape 01

This is actually a wallpaper made for the iPhone, but for me it works beautifully on the iPad as well.  It’s called simply Landscape 01 and it’s by Paul Isabella.  I spotted it via the RSS feed from the superb Poolga.com site.

I generally use more striking (or personal) images for lock screen wallpapers, while going with very simple, non-distracting backgrounds for the home screen.  This wall seems to strike the perfect balance for use on both screens.  It’s a gorgeous, subtle image that works perfectly for me in both places.

iOS 4.1 features: HDR photos

Dirk-

Is there AVRCP?

Darkstar says:September 3, 2010 at 1:14 pm

That really sucks about the iPod Touch’s camera not being 5MP. I was going to get one for my girlfriend so that we could FaceTime/SexTime (lol), but the fact that the main back camera only takes 1280×720 photos is a total dealbreaker for me, regardless of the 720p video. If I’m going to spend $300 bucks on the 32 gig version, a full 5MP camera is an absolute MUST.

I’m definitely looking forward to HDR functions on my iPhone 4 though. From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like it works pretty well for a phone camera, so any improvement is better.

I too, however, am hoping that they take out that yellow warming filter that makes most indoor photos look like crap. That really pisses me off!!! Outdoor pictures typically look fine, but indoor photos are terrible. I wish they’d update the camera app in general to give us photophiles more control over the camera.

Mark says:September 3, 2010 at 1:50 pm

Looks like the end of the recently reviewed ClearCam app that I bought 3 days ago. Glad it was only $1.99 since HDR seems to do the same thing or more.

“lay person”????

Wow, talk about going out of your way for dump political correctness. You sacrificed writing for pc… Too bad.

Ryan says:September 3, 2010 at 6:53 pm

No 3Gs capabilities… sad

Lalartu says:September 3, 2010 at 11:07 pm

It should be noted that when using the HDR feature the LED flash will not work.

Kevin says:September 3, 2010 at 11:19 pm

Is there any logical explanation as to why they didn’t incorporate the use of a volume button for picture taking? It’s absurd that I have to still use the screen to snap a photo! Why wont they do this?

Spazbite33 says:September 4, 2010 at 5:29 am
