Official: Apple iPad Coming April 3rd

No more speculation necessary. Apple finally announced that their much hyped device will be available on April 3rd, 2010. The device will also be available for pre-order on the 12th of this month. After a crazy week of speculation from rumored sources and reassurance from the manufacturers, the device now has a specific release date. Apple however wasn’t able to meet the March shipping deadline they self imposed. But only 3 days off isn’t too bad in my book. As mentioned by Apple, the WiFi only version will be offered now, with the 3G/WiFi iPad shipping at the end of April. Those of you not in the US do have to wait until the end of April to get your hands on one. The good news however, both models will be available at the same time. Hit the break for the full release details supplied by Apple.

Apple Pulls Wifi Detecting Apps

It seem like Apple has been on a tear as of late. Removing certain types of apps left and right. Well now they’ve taken the fight to WiFi sniffing applications. Applications that actively “sniff” for signals were pulled. Apps that rely on GPS search and cell triangulation were not removed from the App Store. The reason: Apple truly hasn’t given a specific answer. Some developers whose applications were removed were told, they’re apps used private frameworks. Which frameworks however, were not given. What is disappointing is these developers have spent time on these apps and now they no longer have an avenue to sell them.

Would You Like Netflix On Your iPhone?

Last year the CEO of Netflix responded to the question of whether or not the iPhone and iPad would get Netflix. He stated it was an avenue they would consider but at that time wasn’t being focused on. Well maybe now is the time. According to HackingNetflix.com a survey has been presented to a few lucky subscribers of the movie streaming site. The survey says:

“Imagine that Netflix offers its subscribers the ability to instantly watch movies & TV episodes on their iPhone. The selection availability to instantly watch includes some new releases, lots of classics and TV episodes. There are no advertisements or trailers, and movies start in as little as 30 seconds. You can fast-forward, rewind, and pause or watch again. The movies & TV episodes you instantly watch are included in your Netflix membership for no additional fee.

Whenever you want to instantly watch content on your iPhone, your iPhone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (such as one you might have at home or at work, or in public places like coffee shops, book stores, hotels, airports, etc.)

If this functionality were available, how likely would you or someone in your household be to instantly watch movies & TV episodes on your iPhone via a Wi-Fi network?

What is interesting to note is that Netflix used this same format to survey the interest of its users to determine whether or not streaming to the PS3 or Wii would be something they would like. And we all know how that turned out. I for one would love to watch my instant que on both the iPhone and upcoming iPad. The question is though will Apple allow it and would AT&T support it.

iMaxi iPad Case

There are so many weird iPhone and iPod accessories it’s hard to keep count. And of course with the launch of the iPad, it could be no different. The folks over at Hip Handmaids have thrown together, and when I say thrown together I mean hand sown, a special iPad case. The iMaxi takes the iPad name and rolls with what we are were thinking when we heard the name. Here’s the description straight from the site:

With its durable vinyl outer layer and plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, the iMaxi helps keep your iPad clean and dry. Plus, the iMaxi’s Velcro-latched, advanced wing design wraps snugly around your device, so your iPad always stays where it should. Best of all, it shields it from all those unsightly and embarrassing data leaks that would make any motherboard worry!

For $30 the iMaxi is priced around similar iPad cases that will hit the market shortly. Is this a case you’d buy for your iPad? Hit the break for a few more pictures.

Apple iPad To Go On Sale March 26th?

Well it looks like Apple’s new flagship device might be going on sale Friday, March 26th at 6pm. Both MacRumors and the Examiner have gotten word from their respective sources that the device will be sent to Apple stores nationwide on the 10th. At that time, Apple employees will receive training necessary to answer questions from prospective buyers when the device is available for sale. As we know the WiFi only iPad will be available at this time, with the 3G version following suit within a month or so. Now the question is how many of the iPads will be available at launch. A buzz on the internet, is that Apple’s suppliers are having a tough time with the production of the device, reducing the potential amount that would be ready to ship. Some numbers are that only 300K would be ready, down from the initial amount hoped for of 1 million. Apple once again has something in mind for the early adopters. If you line up to purchase the iPad, Apple is said to be surprising those people with a gift. Who knows what it will be.

App Review: Plants vs. Zombies

Rating: 10 out of 10
Pros: This game is very addictive. The simple controls along with fantastic design make this game a definite winner.
Cons: Zombies eating your brains.
Overall: Fantastic game. Awesome price for the amount of work put into the game play. A must have in my opinion. But if you don’t believe me check out the Flash version of the game before you decide to buy it. I’m sure you will like it.

Plants vs. Zombies is $2.99 available in the App Store now.
