In non-Soviet Russia… presidents tend to receive some pretty swanky high-tech gifts.
Dimitry Medvedev, leader of the good people of Russia and one of the few men to successfully rock denims with a suit jacket, has been bestowed with a fresh new iPad 2 and his facial expression seems to suggest he was immediately irradiated with blasts of magic, fairy dust, and the smiles of innocent children from across the world.
We just hope he hasn’t seen the crummy camera yet, he is something of a tablet photography connoisseur. Read the rest of this entry »

Now that the number of App Store downloads to iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads around the world has handily exceeded the population of Planet Earth, we can hopefully put this story to bed until they hit another factor of ten — and as unreasonable as 100 billion downloads sounds, we’ll bet it actually won’t take that long.
That’s right: just a few days after kicking off its online counter, Apple’s officially hit the 10 billion mark, which is a whole lot of software any way you slice it.
So, Android Market, you’re next?

What’s it for, the naysayers asked. You don’t need a tablet, they moaned. But short of gas, food and lodging what do you really, really need when it comes down to it? And besides, luxuries make the best presents, right?
With its LED-backlit touchscreen 9.7-inch display for web browsing and watching video, e-Reader functionality via the iBooks app, thousands of games and practical applications, this is another game-changing device from the House of Cupertino. Read the rest of this entry »
This is probably the coolest bit of iOS connectivity I’ve seen so far. KL Dartboard is an iPad app (for US$3.99) that serves as a virtual board for darts thrown by an app called KL Darts … for the iPhone.
So, the idea is that you buy the iPad app and set it up on the wall, and then you download the free iPhone app and connect the two using Bluetooth. Once the setup is complete, the position that you hold and shake the iPhone in determines where the darts land on the iPad’s board.
What a weird concept. Unfortunately, it’s probably a better idea than it actually is a game; the iPhone app requires OS 4, you’ve got to have both devices, and the reviews on the iPad app say it doesn’t really work that well. It’s impossible for the iPad to know “where” the iPhone is, so you don’t even need to face the screen to throw the darts correctly.
Still, I think we’ll see more cross-device interaction like this; Chopper 2 is a game that is due out soon, and it allows you to use your iPhone as a controller for the iPad version. I think there are plenty of possibilities like that for developers to play around with. Read the rest of this entry »

Jeweler/gadget-monger Stuart Hughes is selling diamond-encrusted iPhone 4 devices for $20,000 — but order quickly, as only 50 of these devices will be made.
These gaudy gadgets come unlocked “for worldwide use” and absolutely sparkling with 6.5 carats of VVS quality, F-color diamonds and a complimentary carrying case made of ostrich foot.
The back of the device features a solid platinum and diamond version of the Apple logo.
This latest foray into luxury goods of indubitable opulence and questionable taste calls to mind a similarly bedecked iPad which surfaced in March. This device features 11.43 carats of hand-set, micro-pave diamonds and retails for a mere $19,999. Read the rest of this entry »

The resounding successes of the iPhone and iPad have Apple shareholders dancing in the streets, but one area in which Apple hasn’t been as successful, however, has been business applications.
In fact, until recently, Apple retail stores used Windows-based devices to ring up orders. Now, Mercedes-Benz aims to be among the first companies to change that paradigm by bringing the popular iPad tablet into its showrooms.
The program, called Mercedes-Benz Advantage, puts the iPad into the hands of the automaker’s sales force. With the iPad and Mercedes’ new sales tool app, associates will have lightning-fast access to the latest deals, while also providing a quicker turnaround time for customer credit application processes.

The iPad has finally made its international debut, meaning that thousands and thousands of new users will be enjoying Apple’s latest device over the coming weeks.
With the launch of the iPad comes the international launch of the iPad App Store, making it possible for us to play Words With Friends with our friends in Australia.
There are already thousands of apps available in the App Store, and with the exception of apps focused on media services like Netflix, ABC or Pandora, most are also available internationally.
We’ve been fortunate enough to have the iPad in our screen-smudging paws for the past two months and in that time we’ve surveyed well over 100 apps and games for the new platform. While this list could easily be four or five times as long as it is, we wracked our brains and decided to pick ten of our favorite iPad apps for the new iPad owner. Read the rest of this entry »

According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, in most of Apple’s retail stores in the U.S. the iPad is either sold-out or in very limited supply, especially the 3G model.
Furthermore, Apple’s online store now lists that iPad is shipping in 7-10 days (previously it was 5-7) days, which also indicates that Apple is selling more iPads than it anticipated.
“Seventy-four percent of the stores we checked were completely sold out of all iPad models, 26 percent had some WiFi models in stock, and no stores had any 3G models available,” Munster claims.
iPad sales have been phenomenal from the very beginning. Earlier this month, Apple announced it had sold one million iPads. On May 28, iPad is slated to begin shipping in European countries.
The question is: Will Apple have enough iPads to satisfy the demand?
