That’s right, hope you didn’t have your hopes too high. Of course there is no explanation as to the reason for the delay, and to give Apple the benefit of the doubt, when they unveiled the iPad, they announced a release date of late March, so their not too delayed. You will be able to place orders online starting March 12, and I have to be honest, the more I follow this new technology, the more curious I am about it’s applicability. I love to read and having almost any book at my disposal in this slim device is intriguing.

Fox News has a story on the behind the scenes workings of Apple that helps explain how the company is able to keep tight wraps on details of their newest technology. Stop reading this and go read the story.

Adobe announced today that plans are still on track to release Flash 10.1 for smart phones later this year.  Flash is used to play videos and games on Blackberries, Androids and other smart phones.  Unfortunately, Apple’s iPad and iPhone will not be on the list of compatible gadgets. So if you’re looking to get spruced up videos or play the latest games on your mobile device, Flash 10.1 will be out later this year.

If you’re curious about the iPad and associated questions, Harry McCracken has an article where he lists 25 questions that will remain unanswered until the iPad is released to the public.  Read his article here.

In a story from MSNBC.com, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata dismissed the recently unveiled iPad as nothing but a bigger iPod touch. Now, while I’m not inclined to disagree with that, what makes me wonder if Iwata is really hip to current trends in technology is his similar attitude toward 3D technology and high definition for video games. As a video game enthusiast, I can attest to the enhanced experience from playing games with high definition. It’s AWESOME! And concerning 3D, while movies still require the glasses, at least they look like regular sunglasses. And more and more movies are coming out in 3D, so there is an audience. So, if Iwata has this attitude toward 3D and gaming, it makes me wonder if his appraisal of the iPad is off too.

Rather than trouble you with recapping the iPad presentation, I figured I’d let you take a look at Steve Jobs’ initial announcement from Wednesday. A couple of things: I love the idea of searching the web on computer that responds to touch without having to hunch over to see the screen, and I like the ability to flip the iPad sideways to engage a different view, but what has me concerned is their decision to remain with AT&T. AT&T, despite the commercials you see, does not have the best 3G coverage. Oh they cover a lot of the country, but the 3G network is extremely spotty. Why would Apple continue to do business exclusively with AT&T? Oh well.

Well, it’s January 27 and Apple is set to announce their next biggest thing. Specualtion is going wild. Some people think it’s most likely a tablet computer, others think it might be a new version of the iPhone or a major addition to iTunes. Keep your ears to the ground with me and let’s see what Apple announces.

Nasa has launched an iPhone application that rivals anything 007 ever had! It can sniff chemicals! You have to read this to believe it. Chemical warfare is a serious threat and the fact that homeland security can have a simple device attachment that can help prevent mass destruction is pretty cool!

I’ve yet to go wireless with my keyboard and mouse but I’m giving it serious thought. Once this new mouse comes out from Apple I just might have to jump on it.

LMFAO at this one. You’ll never see this in a PC store now will you! What’s even better are some of the video responses.
