Apple Accepting iPad Applications
That’s right folks, iPad apps are now being accepted. You can click here to start developing yours. We also just got word that at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB Show), a new Teleprompter iPad app will be on display.
New Details Emerge on iPad
With the ability to order a new iPad, come a wealth of new information and recent changes.
3G News. ( Remember however, if you’re ordering today, the wait for a 3G version if longer…)
Buyers have two choices: a $15 per month plan that limitsr data consumption to 250MB or a $30 per month plan for unlimited data. What’s new is that users who choose to sign up for the 250MB plan will be provided with information on the iPad’s screen to let them know when they approach the data limit: specifically, when they have 20 percent, 10 percent, or no data remaining—just like the iPhone’s low battery warnings.Of course if you get the alert, you’ll be able to ad more now, or later. You can even change to the unlimited data plan from the 250MB plan, or add another 250MB of data if you want. YOu can view how much data you’ve used, how many days left in your plan and more. All from you screen.
Seven Alternatives to the iPad
TechCrunch has a neat article examining the slate alternatives to the iPad. I personally own two of their choices and I’m not sold.
The Andoird tablet by Archos, while cool (I have the 5), doesn’t allow you to use the traditional Android marketplace. What the? Therefore, all of the cool apps I have on my Android phone (yeah I have an iPhone too, we have a sister site called Apps4Phones), can’t make it to the Archos. The app choices are frankly pretty lame, making the tablet for me simply and internet tablet, and it’s just OK at that. Read on for more…
Not to be outdone, PC World…

iPad Available for Order 8:30am Eastern
Just a friendly reminder to set your alarms you West Coast folks.
Barnes & Noble Reader eReader Coming Soon
According to the famous book seller, iPad users will have access to over a million books and magazine titles. Combined with the Kindle reader already fro the iPhone, and I have a feeling my Kindle and Sony readers are going to be gathering lots of dust.
Anyone want to buy a kindle, 1st or 2nd generation?
First iPad Ad Appears During the Oscars
If you caught the first 1/2 hour or so of the Oscars, you probably caught the iPad eye candy like we did. If you missed it, I’m confident that won’t be the only ad, or the only showing. Expect a very large media blitz for this product as Steve Jobs not only needs to introduce a product, but a product category that has since failed to take off. That is, before the iPad’s introductions.
iPad to Ship April 3, Pre-Orders Begin March 12 for USA
Arguably, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the iPad. There’s been hints of code referencing a camera, and who would have thought it wouldn’t come with one in the first place? It’s likely iPad version 2 will have one, but are there other things we don’t yet know about? Will iTunes be available in the cloud for our new iPads?
All I know is that I will be one of the many, many folks placing my order on the 12th. No, I’m not getting the AT&T version because I already maintain a Verizon MiFi.
