We guess we’ll be seeing a lot more of this as Apple unleash their enormous advertising budget to persuade us about the joys of their latest product, the iPad.
Their first iPad TV commercial debuted during a break in the 82nd Annual Academy Awards and serves up a 30 second demo showing the tablet device doing its thing.
Hey, how do you fancy watching a video of a bloke wearing a techie jacket over-populated with pockets doing a slow striptease in the snow?
Curious to see how many Apple products you can wear about your person in the the winter chill of the “Canadian wilderness”?
Then be thankful for Rene Ritchie, who has decided to film himself standing in his garden showing off the contents of his SCOTTEVEST Quantum Jacket, Fleece 5.0 Jacket and Ultimate Hoodie combo.
Anyone who spends time on the move knows how handy it is to be able to tether your netbook/laptop/tablet-based computing device to your phone to enjoy some internet connectivity on a bigger screen.
The iPad – a delightfully mobile device if we ever saw one – looks to be just the sort of thing that would be perfect for hooking up to your iPhone.
After all, they’re made by the same people, so all the inter-connectivity and seamless interoperability has got to be just a click away, no?
Apple has announced that the iPad will be launching in the US on Saturday April 3rd, and mustard keen punters and high-fiving fanboys will be able to start slapping down the cash for the Jesus tablet from next week.
There’s all sorts of snazzy docks available for iPod/iPhones, but music-mad users looking to squeeze the last drops of sonic goodness out of their MP3 collections should perhaps take a peek at Arcam’s irDock.
Replacing their earlier rDock, Arcam’s shiny new high-end audiophile dock sports a die-cast aluminium anti-vibration enclosure with a damped rubber base offering RF shielding, and comes with a bundled remote for full loafing-on-the-sofa control.
If – like us – you can’t be arsed with poncey protective cases, rubbery skins, plastic covers, Invisi-Shields, OtterBoxes or nobby leather wallets to safeguard your iPhone, it may be looking a little worse for wear right now.
After all, months of making an iPhone rough it in your pockets with your keys, cash, Allen keys, small torches and other assembled bits of mobile man-junk can soon leave Apple’s finest looking a little battle-scarred, so thank ‘eavens for a certain Shenaniganz08.
Vast legions of iPhone fart app developers may be be quaking in their parping shoes today at the news that Apple has just turned down an app because it only offered, “minimal user functionality.”
We’re not getting any emails pushed through to our iPhone at the moment (we’re in the UK on the o2 network) and a quick look on Twitter shows that other people seem to be suffering the same problem.
We’ve been getting delays in mails arriving all day – at the moment our GMail account has at least 15 emails dating back three hours that are yet to turn up on the iPhone.
It looks like there may be delays ahead for Apple’s iPad, with a ‘manufacturing bottleneck’ said to be pushing the launch date into April.
There’s no shortage of bloggers and tech websites knocking out endless news reports claiming to know something about what the next gen Apple iPhone is going to look like.
There’s been rumours, claimed leaks, shady insider statements and fuzzy photos supposedly snapped at a top secret factory somewhere or another. But we know the inside story…
As we reported on Sunday, developers have been venting at Apple after the company suddenly removed thousands of adult themed apps from the App Store.
Developers were particularly annoyed at what looks like some serious double standards, with Apple allowing some apps from more well known companies to remain – like a saucy Playboy app which promises “sexy preview clips” and hours of titillation.
When we were young, we used to look up at the Moon and imagine we were heroically piloting a lander, ready for some top notch lunar exploration before heading back to the module for lashings of gingerpop and cake.
Sadly, the call from the Command Centre never arrived, but at least NASA is giving us the opportunity to virtually control our own Lunar rover with its first ever iPhone game: the Lunar Electric Rover Simulator.
It seems that the prudish types at Apple are keen to apply their moral values to the App Store, first kicking off the (admittedly rather tawdry) boob-jiggling app Wobble, and then setting off on a crusade to cleanse the store of flesh.
For years on end, SplashID has been our password manager of choice, offering a simple, secure way of managing hundreds of passwords and personal details, both on our handheld and desktop.
