iPAD TECHNOLOGY NEWS AND iPAD FREE APPLICATIONS

By Elise M
Admit it. You are a media buff. And it really is not any coincidence that media addicts are feasting their dependency with the most up-to-date iPad media downloads, iPad news sites, iPad applications, and a whole lot more. Not surprisingly, the fundamental purpose of the Apple iPad is to soak up media.

Some people have discovered it rather frustrating that several of Apple's own iPhone applications haven't switched to an iPad-enhanced condition. The iPad's edition of the Remote application renders browsing and controlling all iPad media downloads from iTunes, Apple TVs, and AirTunes even more exciting than it currently does on the iPhone.

So far as iPad news sites go, NetNewsWire for iPad is a remarkable application. You'll find it just about the most critical applications simply because it just really stresses on getting the basics right to find the best utilization of iPad media downloads. Based on many iPad fans being media junkies, many are equally fanatics of Reeder, which is an RSS/Google Reader client that is able to do essentially anything regarding RSS feeds.

In addition to Apple's iPad news sites and Remote application, a few fans have more information on media-targeted applications that people want to check out on the i-Pad. Among them feature wireless-remote applications like iPeng, the Sonos Controller application for Sonos devices, the DirectTV application, and the SlingPlayer Mobile application. The iPad is such a riveting contraption for remote access as well as handling your iPad media downloads... and folks are looking for more of it.

So far as social networking goes, it's kind of outlandish to uncover the deficiency of an iPad-affiliated model of the Facebook application, notably given the fact of how much Apple and Facebook have worked in conjunction to promote the iPhone application.

Both the iPhone and the iPad are terrific for ingesting news from the current iPad news sites, so there exists really no astonishment that a few editors are getting excited about iPad-optimized variations of their most loved iPhone news applications.

Again, like having less an iPad Facebook application, the issue of an iPad CNN application is furthermore unsatisfactory for quite a few iPad fans. The CNN app for the iPhone is just about the most beneficial iPad news sites applications available, although the New York Times' iPad application is extremely wonderful to check out and consume iPad media downloads.

The inability to view websites that use Adobe's Flash technology for videos and animations is a source of irritation for new iPad owners, according to Changewave
A survey of 153 new iPad owners by Changewave, a market research company, found that a lack of support for Flash technology was one of the things they most disliked about Apple's flagship device.

Around 11 per cent of new iPad owners said this was an irritation, while other annoyances included problems with the Wi-Fi connection dropping out (9 per cent), trying to keep the screen clean (9 per cent), a lack of apps for the gadget (7 per cent), and the weight of the iPad (7 per cent). Apple has been embroiled in a bitter war of words with Adobe over Flash, which is not supported on any of Apple's multimedia devices. Apple claims Flash is "buggy" and prone to crashing, and favour the rival HTML5 format, while Adobe says that Apple's stance threatens the future development of the web and constitutes a 'walled garden' approach.

The Changewave survey found that around 80 per cent of iPad owners use it to browse the web, while 48 per cent used it to watch video, which could explain why some users were annoyed by the lack of Flash. Other popular uses included checking emails (71 per cent), downloading apps from the App Store (56 per cent) and reading ebooks (33 per cent). Continue reading here...

WASHINGTON — US sales of smartphones running Google's Android mobile operating system surged past those of Apple for the first time in the first quarter of the year, industry research firm NPD said Monday.

Android-powered smartphones accounted for 28 percent of US consumer sales in the first three months of the year compared with 21 percent for the iPhone, NPD said.

Canada's Research in Motion, maker of the popular Blackberry, retained the top spot with 36 percent of US smartphone sales in the quarter, NPD said.

Strong sales of Motorola's Android-powered Droid and HTC's Android-based Droid Eris were cited as among the reasons for Android's surge past Apple.

Google makes its open-source Android software available to handset manufacturers and also sells its own smartphone, the Nexus One.

"As in the past, carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role in determining smartphone market share," said Ross Rubin, NPD's executive director of industry analysis.

The burgeoning legal challenges to Apple over its rapid advances in mobile computing mounted yesterday when Finland's Nokia launched a patent infringement suit over the iPad.

Nokia accused Apple in a US federal court in Wisconsin of infringing five patents in the iPad, which has sold 1m units since its US debut in March.

Nokia's suit cites technology used to enhance speech and data transmission and antenna innovations that allow for more compact devices.

"These patented innovations are important to Nokia's success as they allow improved product performance and design," the Finnish company said in a statement. Apple had no immediate response.

The Finnish company, the world's biggest mobile phone maker, is already in dispute with Apple over alleged patent infringement in the iPhone.

IDC said yesterday that Nokia's smartphone market share in the first quarter was flat at 39 per cent, while Apple saw its share of the shipments jump to 16 per cent from 11 per cent a year ago, closing in on Canada's Research in Motion, the maker of the BlackBerry, which occupies second spot. Overall, smartphone sales rose 57 per cent in the quarter.

Apple recently released a statement regarding the international launch of the iPad. Here is their official statement from Apple Media Advisory site:

Although we have delivered more than 500,000 iPads during its first week, demand is far higher than we predicted and will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks as more people see and touch an iPad™. We have also taken a large number of pre-orders for iPad 3G models for delivery by the end of April.

Faced with this surprisingly strong US demand, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the international launch of iPad by one month, until the end of May. We will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10. We know that many international customers waiting to buy an iPad will be disappointed by this news, but we hope they will be pleased to learn the reason—the iPad is a runaway success in the US thus far.

WASHINGTON DC, United States—Apple said Tuesday that the iPad model featuring 3G cellular connectivity will hit stores in the United States on April 30.

Customers who pre-ordered the 3G model, which also features Wi-Fi wireless connectivity, will receive their new tablet computers on the same date, Apple said in a statement.

The Wi-Fi-only model of the latest device from the maker of the Macintosh computer, the iPod, and the iPhone went on sale in the United States on April 3 and the company sold over 500,000 units the first week.

Apple announced last week that heavy US demand had forced it to delay the international release of the iPad by a month, until late May.

The Cupertino, California-based company, had planned to begin selling the touch-screen tablet computer in late April in Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Switzerland.

Apple confirmed Tuesday that it will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders for the iPad on May 10.

The iPad allows users to watch video, listen to music, play games, surf the Web, or read electronic books. It runs most of the more than 185,000 applications made for the iPod Touch and the iPhone.

The cheapest iPad model, with Wi-Fi connectivity and 16 gigabytes of memory, is $499 while the most expensive—which includes 3G connectivity and 64GB of memory—costs $829.

Apple shares were 0.35 percent lower at $246.21 in early afternoon trading on Wall Street.

According to Nick Farrell of theinquirer.net, Apple has admitted that Ipad can't do wireless very well.

The device came out last saturday and after a day the Apple message boards have been full of complains from the Ipad customers. Here are some of the complains:

powerguru

Ok. I used speedtest.net app both on iPhone 3GS and the new iPad. I clearly see the difference.

iPad download speed is 1.83 megabits/sec whereas
iPhone 3GS download speed is 14.77 megabits/sec

Upload speed seems comparable.

Also iPad uses 802.11 n and iphone 3GS uses 802.11 g. I do have N router.

Common apple send out a fix now. Disappointing.

I am having the same problem with dropped WiFi. The iPad keeps asking for my password for the network it is supposed to be logged into. It seems to happen even when the iPad is not moving around. It does not happen too often (a few times a day) but it is annoying. I have a DLink DI-624 router which is a G band router. Hopefully this will be a software fix from Apple once they are able to track it down.

This could be a potential big issue but I believe Apple will surely fix it soon. And from what I read, it's not all of the Ipad were affected, only a few one.
