When I first got wind of the elusive iPad, I thought to myself....I can fiiiIIIIiinally have a device to read my digital comic books on! I had dreams of busing to work while enjoying the latest issue of X-Men. That is until they actually released it. No file system management? App store only? ... One of those problems has been solved. Hit the jump for more.



Gizmodo has the load on the new app from Panelfly. So I still can't get the digital comics I already have to this device, but at least I don't have to wait for an app to be released that will serve this purpose right? Looks like it has potential. Color me intrigued. Check out more at Gizmodo.

We are not pleased. No we are not. First the geeks who followed the live blog voiced their concerns. Then word spread to the geeks' friends and their friends and eventually apple released the official video hours later and the general public was filled in. They all were unimpressed. And now...Hitler has been informed of Apple's newest release. Hit the jump for the video.

I'll randomly edit this post with items I have for sale. It'll be linked at the top if you need to get back to it. So for now, I have a few cool items, but trying to make room. Everything in mint condish, let me know if your interested!


Both were displayed shortly and boxed up and kept safe. Each individually numbered, boxed in original packaging with styrofoam. Take a peek below.

So unless you have been hibernating for the last ... 5 years ... you undoubtedly have heard about the elusive 'Apple Tablet'. And unless you woke up yesterday and managed to not turn on a TV or a computer, you will have heard that it was finally revealed by the man, the myth..the legend; Steve Jobs yesterday. I love all things shiny, and had my "under $1000" ready to give to Apple. That is, until it was actually unveiled.


The rumors, the speculation, the hysteria, a roller-coaster ride for any true geek. And although we knew there was no way yesterday's announcement could have come close to the perfect device people had envisioned in their minds, secretly, everybody had the feeling that "This was Apple we're talking about. If anybody can do it, its them." And do they did not. So how could this be? Well instead of introducing you to what it does, lets see what it doesn't do.

1. Still no flash support. A device to be heralded as having the "best web browsing experience on any device" does not support flash. A little akward seeing the familiar blue icon during Steve's demo. :/


2. Still no multi-tasking. Hmm. Steve Jobs says that the device we all THOUGHT was supposed to sit between our phone and the laptop was the netbook; but we were wrong because this iPad is that device. Remember when Microsoft put that 3 app limit in their lowest SKU of Windows 7 for netbooks in the beta? Everybody went up in arms. After 3 years, still 1 app at a time. Nice.

4. No GPS.5. $5-$6 additional charge on books compared to Amazon.

6. 4:3 aspect ratio screen?!?! That'll look fantastic for all the widescreen movies in iTunes!

7. $120+ for a 3G version? So I have to pony up the extra $120 to have the ability to pay $30/month so that I can pay an extra $6 for a book. Sweet, sign me up!

Having said all of this....ask me in 2 months if I actually bought one. I'm a sucker for shiny gadgets. :(
