eBay Redesigned the iPad App. Why? For Users. Not for Apple. (via @jkhowland)

by Joshua H. on May 9, 2012 in Apps

Any website called Beautiful Pixels has my attention. Mikhail Madnani, reviewed the new 2.0 release of the iPad app from eBay. Sometimes it’s surprising that companies don’t support the latest features of the iPad, like the retina display. Sometimes it’s surprising when they do. Company of design? eBay isn’t exactly known for it’s impressive design. [...]

Evernote is taking handwriting seriously – Acquires Penultimate. (via @jkhowland)

by Joshua H. on May 8, 2012 in Apps, News, Social Media

I have always been disappointed in the lack of ink notes in the Evernote iPad app. In fact, it’s the reason I left Evernote for Penultimate and Simplenote. I recently suggested that Evernote should acquire an ink app. Evernote Acquires Penultimate Cocoa Box is the development house behind Penultimate. The app is beautifully simple, and [...]

Would You Want Your iPad Built In To Your Car?

by Josh A. on April 25, 2012 in Gadgets, New Technology, News, Wishful Thinking

Some people may ask, “Why would you put a perfectly good iPad into your car when you could just carry it with you everywhere (including into the car)?” I honestly don’t know…. BUT, it’s a cool idea right?! Imagine being able to FaceTime with your friends while you’re driving. Granted, you will definitely need some [...]

Developer @ttscoff created a website to help you pick an iOS text editor – iTextEditors

by Joshua H. on April 21, 2012 in Apps, Gadgets, Wishful Thinking

Silly plaintext lover I’m always typing on my iPad or iPhone, and it seems like there are so many text editors out there, I never know if I’m using the one that is the best for me. I don’t know if you’ve ever shopped for text editors before, but there are quite a few. I [...]

Is iMessages a text service, or an IM service? (via @jkhowland)

by Joshua H. on April 18, 2012 in Apps, Gadgets, New Technology

Everyone in my family got iPhones when it became available on Sprint. One of the things I was most excited for was iMessages. Almost everyone I text has an iPhone. Communicating with the Messages App iMessage merges with your text messaging on iOS, and your instant messaging on your computer in iMessages beta. We have [...]

‘One ad to rule them all.’ – Advertising for the iPad 2, the New iPad, and the New New iPad

by Joshua H. on April 18, 2012 in Gadgets, News, Social Media

Has Apple reached ‘mass market’ yet? How will we know when they do? The iPad and iPhone are being bought up so swiftly that it would be silly to believe that only hipsters and early adopters are the buyers. It’s our grandmothers and cousins that are the latest buyers of the iPad. Advertising to the [...]

Do You Want a Laptop or an iPad?

by Caleb Hicks on April 6, 2012 in Gadgets

Because of my short period where I infuriated both sides of the eternal iOS/Android flame war, I’ve had a number of interesting conversations with users of both platforms. Time and time again I’ve been asked a question that leads me to think… Dude, did you want an iPad/Android tablet or a laptop? Unfortunately, I think [...]

DisplayMate: iPad picture quality, color accuracy, and gray scale much better than most HDTVs, laptops, and monitors

by Joshua H. on March 28, 2012 in Gadgets, New Technology, Product Reviews, Wishful Thinking

A lot has been said about the Retina display. We’ve “seen it before”, “never seen anything like it”, “been disappointed again”, or “been blessed by the Apple gods”. The resposes seem hot and cold. Do you want to know why the response is unclear: From a practical perspective the new iPad screen went beyond a [...]

The math: iPads sold in one weekend: 3 million. Android tablets activated ever: 12 million

by Joshua H. on March 28, 2012 in Apps, New Technology, News, Wishful Thinking

We’re going to do some simple math with the help of Andy Rubin, and Apple PR. Before we get into the math I’d like to explain why these numbers are important to clarify. It seems a common refrain that there is some kind of tablet market out there. We read about iPad competitors heating up. [...]
