iOS 5 iPad setup, no computer required [Gallery]

by Justin Horn on Jun 6th, 2011 @ 7:08 pm

Some screen shots demonstrating the setup of a new (or restored in this case) iPad. I assume it will be similar if not exactly the same for the iPhone.

UPDATE iPhone works the same way with the exception of one extra step activating on the carrier network, which I assume the 3G iPad would do as well.

Apple has finally “cut the cord”!

may issue of Wired magazine free

by Chiyin on Apr 15th, 2011 @ 10:26 am

The iPad version of the magazine will be free for the next 30 days thanks to Adobe. In a promotion to help the magazine show some of their new features are the 1 year anniversary of the app approaches.

I’ve been an avid Wired reader and subscriber for many years, but haven’t read the iPad version… This will be a good chance to check it out… I only wish they would offer it to their subscriber or offer a subscription to the iPad version instead of charging for each issue…

Go to this link for more info on the promotion

Microsoft’s Kinect dethrones iPhone / iPad as the fastest selling consumer electronic

by Justin Horn on Mar 9th, 2011 @ 2:13 pm

Guinness World Records:

Guinness World Records, the global authority on record breaking, today confirm that the Kinect for the Xbox 360 is the Fastest-Selling Consumer Electronics Device.  The hardware, that allows controller-free gaming, sold through an average of 133,333 units per day, for a total of 8 million units in its first 60 days on sale from 4 November 2010 to 3 January 2011.

The sales figures outstrip both the iPhone and the iPad for the equivalent periods after launch

Guess Microsoft isn’t dead yet. Windows 7 was a great step forward after the Vista failure. The Xbox 360 sells well, and now with the Kinect they are reaching a whole new audience.  I never wanted an Xbox before, I was fine with my gaming PC, Wii, and PS3, but now with Kinect, I’m very tempted to buy one. Played it a few times at a friends house and it’s really cool, wish I had one when I was a kid.

Stupidest iPad article I’ve seen so far

by Justin Horn on Mar 9th, 2011 @ 11:13 am

Jim Dalrymple, from LoopInsight, found a real gem here. He found an negative iPad article, “Move Over, Apple! My Tablet Cost $200”, by the Wall Street Journal’s Brett Arends. As crazy as this sounds, Brett tries to compare the Nook to an iPad.

Jim sums up how I feel about that comparison perfectly:

Comparing the Nook to an iPad is like rolling up to a new Ferrari with your 1974 Pinto and bragging that your car was cheaper.

Please note: I don’t recommend anyone actually read that Wall Street Journal article.
