Apple have announced sales figures for the iPad’s first day of availability, and as you might expect they’re glowing. Pre-orders, Apple Store sales and iPads sold through Apple’s channel partners amounted to over 300,000 units in the period from 9am EST to midnight on Saturday April 3rd.
You know, there’s got to be some perks about going to college. Sure, the knowledge that you’re (one step) closer to getting a good job and living the life you’ve always wanted should be good enough, but, let’s be realistic. We need a reason in the here and now, right? Thanks to the Seton Hill [...]
Remember that post we had a few days back, where we talked about the iBooks getting their prices officially (by unofficial means) shown off? Well, it looks like we’ve got some bad news, for all those folks out there who thought everything was going to be hunky-dory (meaning, that $9.99 sweet spot). We’ve now got [...]
As we get closer to April 3rd, the iBookstore seems to be the source of a lot of detailed leaks. We’re hoping that this one, along with the previous leak of the iBook prices, comes to bear, because so far we’re liking what we hear. This time around, AppAdvice is releasing a bit more information [...]
So, how many of you are going to use the iPad as an eReader? The debate on whether or not it’s the best on the market has been resounding through the market since January 27th, and it’s probably not going to die down any time soon. There’s a lot of fronts to fight the war [...]
Here we go again, folks. Another week down, and this one’s going down in the records. Why? Because, sure enough, we’ve finally got the Apple iPad on a straight course to our homes, along with a few pieces of information that went out to the public before and after the launch. So sit back, relax, [...]
Apple have used their Apple Store refresh to update some of the iPad information, most notably further information on their iBooks app. Available in the App Store for US customers only, we now know that iBooks will support non-DRM ePUB ebooks, which can be loaded via iTunes.
Previously, while we’d known that Apple was using the [...]
By now, you’re probably just staring at your calendar and watch, watching as they march inexorably closer to the inevitable launch date of the Apple tablet. Oh, and don’t forget that tomorrow is a big day as well. Tomorrow is the day you can pre-order your iPad. Apple is ready. Or, should we say that [...]
When the iPad advertisement hit the airwaves last night, during the 2010 Oscars, there was a slight uproar as people took in the latest (and first publicly aired) ad for Apple’s upcoming tablet. It showed a lot of the great features we’ve been drooling over since the end of January, and we’re pretty positive that [...]
And we are pretty excited by what we are seeing. Just as we saw with The New York Times’ iPad demonstration at the iPad keynote, the content isn’t the only thing that’s going to sell eBooks. It’s the interactivity. When a student is holding the iPad in their hands, looking over their anatomy text, they [...]
Apple has become well known for their paradoxical moves when it comes to banning applications from their App Store, and we were beginning to think that by now, people would have become accustomed to it. Apparently that’s not the case. There’s an up-roar going on right now, with the App Store caught in the middle, [...]
