  1. Hey now, no one's more keen on Web standards than good ol' Apple! Apple - iPad-ready websites But seriously, Dan's right. It's not an either/or choice. You're still going to need a Web presence for non-mobile (and non-Apple) platforms. And the iPad, particularly, is absolutely kickass for browser-based content delivery. But you can already see that in some cases going native on the device really lets you do more -- make things better looking, faster and easier to use. And I think that's great. No one is getting cut out and certainly no one is breaking the Web as a side effect.
  2. I use Air Sharing with my iPhone. It lets you mount the device as an external drive on your Mac for file transfer etc. And includes document viewing capabilities. There's an iPad app already, but the early reviews suggest it's a bit rough.
  3. And then you read the JooJoo review, which notes in passing that it cuts that POS's already-pathetic battery life in half. I tend to agree with this guy that a lot of content delivery on the Apple mobile devices is ultimately going to be through dedicated apps rather than Web standards. The Epicurious app is another good example that pisses all over the mag's actual Web site. Cameron Moll: Designer, Speaker, Author The Mobile Web vs. the Objective-C Web
  4. So, has anyone actually used their iPad for audiophilic purposes yet?
  5. Happy Birthday!!!
  6. Fairy nuff.
  7. Travel Vest from SCOTTEVEST/SeV - Men's Travel Vest with Hidden Pockets - Compatible with iPad!

  9. Don't question the monkey, he knows of what he speaks.
  10. ... for the Macbook refresh. New MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air Models Scheduled for Launch This Month? - Mac Rumors
  11. I really wonder what they're going to do with 4.0, and also wonder why they're previewing/pre-announcing now rather than just dropping it with the next iPhone hardware rev? Maybe Apple are are actually feeling the heat from the Evo and the pace of Android development.
  12. Now you just need an iPad.
  13. I'm trying out the Incase convertible book jacket on mine. It's like a folio with a built-in stand that holds the iPad at either 45/60/90 degrees. For desktop use, the 45 degree orientation makes typing a snap. The problem with this case is it's not great for using on your lap except in portrait mode, because the flap won't fold all the way back on itself. I think the Apple case may be better in this regard. http://goincase.com/products/detail/CL57512/1
  14. That's kinda like using a strap-on because you don't want your real dick to get sticky.
  15. Mike, if you just want to extend your signal, get an Airport Express. Apple - AirPort Express (EDIT: Only works if your primary router is also of the Apple variety.)
  16. Saw the Mrs. off on a two-week business trip. Took the kids to an Easter lunch. Got puked on by my daughter. Came home somewhat hurriedly. Let's hope it was the quiche rather than a virus.
  17. Cornering the world market for bitters?
  18. You is risen! Happy happy!
  19. I like to browse. A store that cant manage to sell people anything they didn't come there to buy in the first place isn't a very good store.
  20. Do you have the Epicurious app? It's great! Have been doing some reading on it today and I'm pretty happy with it in that regard. The iBook store sucks pretty badly at this point, though I'm sure it will improve with time. It's hard to find things and there aren't enough subcategories to really drill down to your interest. The same applies, in a slightly lesser degree, to the App Store.
  21. Weatherbug is good and free. Not sure if I dare try PvZ on the iPad.
  22. I know I'm a fanboy and all, but Web browsing on a touchscreen > Web browsing via mouse/keyboard. I hope to God they make an iPad HD with a 15" screen!
  23. Where's Mike? $5 says he went to the Apple Store and when he gets home he has two.
