Even though HP announced they’re not going to make tablets (or PCs) anymore, Apple’s iPad is still selling at record rates.  In fact, vendors have a hard time keeping them in stock.  That means that there are a lot of iPads floating around out there and many of them are being used by worship leaders [...]

Turn Your iPad 2 into a MacBook Air

The iPad and it’s successor the iPad 2 are marvelous devices but even as great as the touch interface is you do find yourself wanting a real keyboard from time to time. Of course, there are a lot of keyboard options out there for the iPad but none look as wonderful and as mac-ish as [...]

Apple will start selling iPads at WalMart this week.  They recently started selling them at Target and on Amazon too.  Looks like Apple is getting ready for a big holiday push of the iPad.  Hope they can keep up with the demand. I don’t know about you but I’m hoping to see a peopleofwalmart.com iPad [...]

Get Ready to Throw Away Your MacBook

Admit it.  Since you got your iPad, your MacBook (or netbook or laptop or, shall we say, lapbook) hasn’t been getting quite the same amount of quality time with you.  It’s not that you don’t appreciate what you once had with your lapbook but that was then and this is now.  Times have changed and [...]

When it comes to analog notebooks, I just loves me so Moleskines.  Those notebooks are near perfection.  That’s why I was excited to learn that the geniuses at Moleskine are going to be releasing two new hybrid cases.  One case will be for the iPhone (3G/3Gs) and the other will be for the iPad. These [...]

I’ve seen some pretty amazing pulpit designs before but this one has to be the coolest one ever made.  It’s from the folks at Little Mountain Productions and it’s called the iPodium.  It’s basically a curved stand with a place cut out for your iPad.  It holds your iPad at the perfect angle so you [...]

It’s amazing what a little style can add to the usability and enjoyment of a web site.  Unfortunately, Wikipedia has always been long on information and little short of style but the folks over at Cooliris have swooped in to save the day with their new Discover app for the iPad. There are a lot [...]

New Kindle… Smaller! Faster! Cheaper! Better?

5 Comments 30 July 2010

Amazon announced it's new Kindle yesterday. It's smaller and lighter than ever before. It's cheaper and faster too! It has a higher contrast screen with quicker refresh times. It now sports wifi. It even has some integration with twitter. And, at $139 it's an absolute steal! The problem is that none of my tech savvy friends are going buy one. Why?...

Flipboard is an amazing new app for the iPad.   It basically takes all your social media streams like Facebook and Twitter and creates one beautifully styled digital magazine out of them. You simply flip pages with your finger to see item after item of stuff you’re truly want to read.  (Well, that’s true except for [...]

The video above has been making the rounds around the internet lately.  It got me thinking about how churches could use iPads.  I’ve already heard of a couple of churches that plan to use iPads as donation kiosks by pointing Safari to paypal or the like.  Children’s check-in could be another use.  Although printing from [...]

We’re pleased to announce that Dave Broadwell (davethegiant on twitter) is the winner of the iPad.  Dave’s tweet (#738 in our database) was chosen at random at 5PM.
