Hey, Steve - Can my iPhone tether with the iPad?

Someone sent Steve Jobs an email - all the way from Sweden, simply asking if the iPad supports tethering with the iPhone. It seemed like a reasonable, simple thing to ask, I mean tethering on the WiFi model of the iPad would be fantastic! This was Steve's reply.

Apple's iPad launches April 3rd, pre-orders commence soon!

The latest news to come out of the Cupertino based company once again focuses around the highly anticipated iPad, but more specifically the scheduled release date. Straight from the horses mouth, Apple said that the iPad is due to launch on Saturday April 3rd  (You may want to pencil that date in your diary). Pre-orders are due to commence on March 12th for the US’ non-3G version, with the 3G version to grace American soil in late April. Those wishing to get their hands on an iPad in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK will have to tough it out and wait until late April.

Just in case you needed reminding, below is the iPad’s pricing schedule for the US:

16GB WiFi only -- $499

Just when you though the meme was dying down - you realize it is just getting started. Think about it, when the iPad is released to the public, there is going to be a slew of accessories like this. Introducing the iMaxi, which is a very un-practical case for your iPad. And yes it is very real, you are even in-fact able to pre-order the iMaxi with a price tag of 40 bucks now 30 dollars. Sure the price may seem a little steep, but the protection is priceless.

Apple Store Employees receive the iPad March 10

Just like us, Apple store employees are excited about the iPad and now they get some hands on action March 10th - This will be around the time training begins for the device, and this is no-longer a rumor!

The Examiner not only heard this from inside sources, but confirmed it with an Apple Store manager in Southern California who wishes not to be named, so this is for sure a go.

Some other key points and dates to take note of are that commercials, which will emphasize eBook capabilities, will start airing on March 15.

The actual release date hasn't been set, but March 26 is very likely, but the 3G versions won't be available until April or May so get ready to either jump the gun and be first in line, or wait for the 3G... then be the first in line again.

The reason why you want to be the first in line is because people who camp out for the iPad launch will receive a "special gift."

Anatomy of Apple Design - Amazing 3D rendering

It all looks new again - in this video. This is truly a great tribute to the 34 years of Apple design, by a team called Transparent House who worked for 10 days to make this video. It features some great milestones in Apple design including the Apple 1, Macintosh Portable, Newton Pad, Macbook, and the iPad among others.

I thought that a week or two after the iPad was announced I would be over it; Today while I was thinking about the iPad I witnessed the most intense form of inspiration ever, Music. It's a nifty song by the name of "Moar Ghosts n' stuff" by an artist called Deadmau5, and the song may seem familiar. Just keep this in your head, it's the original. 

I made this ad with Sony Vegas Pro 9, Audacity, and Corel Draw. Yes, I know it's a strange combo for a video editor but hey, it seems to have worked. Remember, you can watch it on Vimeo as well, and remember to visit our channel!

Do It Yourself iPad Paper Craft

Ricardo Trejo Feb 8, 2010 Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Us Apple, iPad

If the wait for the iPad is just too much to bare then why not make yourself a papercraft to help pass the time? Think of it as a place holder until you get your hands on the real deal.

Being at near identical dimensions as the device itself, fool your friends by taking a photos of it and posting them on facebook or twitter. You'll be the most popular kid in your yard!

Print out your cutouts HERE (front) and HERE (rear)

MacRumors gives the following directions:

Each cutout can fit on standard A4 (8.3 x 11.7 inches) paper, but your printer has to be capable of borderless printing to achieve close to actual iPad dimensions. The real iPad dimensions are 9.56 inches x 7.47 inches x 0.5 inches. They've even included a cutout of the A4 processor you can include for "improved performance".
