It’s been a while since we’ve seen Apple release a commercial, but here is another iPad commercial for your guys to check out. What do you think of it? I’m just so used to the cute/sappy (depending on who you ask) iPhone 4 commercials this just seems like a change.

Steve Speaks at D8 Conference
To all of those who love to know Mr. Job’s opinion on everything tech, this one is for you. This goes beyond the simple yes or no answers he usually provides in his email replies to those inquiring about things like Flash or the Mac’s place in the marketplace in the future. This is a sit down interview at the D8 Conference and he discusses in his totally expected black shirt, blue jean attire everything from Flash (of course) to the iPad’s origin.
Good stuff, check it out after the jump..IN VIDEO!!! Those are always fun. And for those of you slacking hard at work or without access to video right now, I have provided a link to transcript (yes, when ‘He’ speaks there’s transcript, it’s just not in red writing YET, lol). Continue reading →

Analysts Think iPad will Outsell Mac
Yet another “prediction” by the greats of the industry – the Analysts, that the iPad will outsell the Mac. As this is currently accurate because of it’s new release in the US only, a lot of people are still skeptical of such high predictions based on a month of “new gadget” hype. The iPad in fact is still in high demand and is going for high prices on eBay. Continue reading →

iPad Controls Blimp
The guys over at BreakfastNY.com have created a modified BlimpDuino which is controlled by the iPad’s accelerometer through a custom software which connects to a built in computer. The iPad thus becomes the real controller which also displays what the blimp sees via an attached front camera.
It’s awesome, check out the video after the break.
Thanks to MacStories for the post!

iPhone OS 4.0 Multitasking
So multitasking is finally coming to (some) iPhones, iPod touches, and the iPad. This gives the user the ability to switch between applications without having to close one app in order to open another.
How it works
It will be as simple as double-clicking the home button on your device which will open a tray showing all running applications. Similar to the function you’re used to on your Mac (cmd + tab) and PC (alt + tab). So an example would be tapping a link within and email in Mail. Traditionally this would close Mail and launch the webpage within Safari. In the new OS, Mail would not close, but Safari would still open, allowing you to switch back to Mail when you’re done with Safari.
Apple also claims this will not deplete battery life or bog down your device. This is achieved by not giving all system resources available to every application that is open (which is how multi-tasking typically works). Instead, only the following specific actions are capable of doing this: background audio, voice over IP, background location, push notifications, local notifications, task completion, fast app switching.
Who can use it?
If you’re running on an iPhone 3GS or a 3rd Gen iPod Touch, then you’ll be able to enjoy this new feature of the OS. However original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and previous generation iPod Touch users will not get to use multitasking. This is not a shocker for original iPhone devices, but as the 3G is still on sale and one of the most popular of the devices, this is a bummer. The iPad will see this new OS and multitasking this Fall, while everyone else can see it this summer.
