Actually I would be fine with an edge to edge display. I have a case that I hold instead of the iPad. Increasing the screen size as opposed to the device itself would be awesome. I have no opinion about 3d. It would be a nice feature to have as an occasional gimmick, but I can't see myself...

When I really like something I like to give detailed reasons why, so sometimes I worry that I will be accused of working for the company that made whatever I am advocating. And I've actually have been accused of that before. But no, I'm just a finance professional in the healthcare industry.

Only a few months ago, Flipboard was released and hailed as one of the best apps for the iPad. In that program, you can select articles from different sources such as RSS feeds, websites such as the Economist and Facebook, as well as other special interest topics, and then see all of that...

Pieces of the Empire - now 99 cents at the iBookstore! I'm discounting my book, Pieces of the Empire, Book One in anticipation of the release of Pieces of the Empire, Book Two which should arrive at the iBookstore by June of this year. You can find out more about this series by visiting...

I'm glad I was able to communicate in a way that so many people could connect with. Although I don't always make it, my goal is to write intelligent, thoughtful posts with a touch of humor. Looks like I hit the mark this time.

The iPad 2 is now upon us. The first reviews are in, and they are as strong as the reviews for the original iPad which was released a year ago. This time the device is lighter, thinner, more powerful, comes with two cameras, and has the ability to utilize a neat magnetic cover which doubles as...

A friend of mine recently created an app and that's gotten me excited about creating one of my own. I'm looking for 1 or 2 partners to help in the process and to have fun. I don't expect to make money on this venture, but I'm hoping to minimize my losses and create something I would actually...

One of the joys of apps is that things you bought or even got for free get better over time through upgrades that cost nothing. A lot of the time the upgrades are around stability issues or adapting an app for the next operating system, but there's plenty of great functional additions to apps...

There's been a lot of discussion in this forum and in other sites around the need for a file management system on the iPad. In the 9 months since it's launch, the iPad has seen numerous apps from developers to help solve this problem. Unfortunately, these developers have only solved half of...

Every since my first MP3 player, I've longed for the day when my player would have capacity enough for all my music and that I could load new songs automatically without having to hook up my device. As players have become larger in capacity, the first issue isn't as much of a deal anymore, but...

Just to throw my 2 cents into the ring, I've had the opportunity to use Windows Media Player, ITunes, and Zune to manage my music. Of the three, I think WMP is by far the best in terms of the users ability to edit info (track, artist, etc.). Zune is pretty close to WMP in this regard, but...

I will throw my opinion in with the lot of you and say that I have no regrets at all over this purchase. I sold my netbook to get my 3G 32GB and that was completely worth it. I love the ipad as an easy to access internet browser (despite some sites not working as well as I'd like), an e-reader...

Apple has an amazing strategic advantage over other proposed tablets as it has been on market since April (over 4 months now) and continues to have tremendous buzz. Watching articles and announcements about completing products is kind of like having about twenty people try to squeeze through a...

My favorite clip from the meeting was when Ballmer noted that Microsoft had years of experience working with tablet devices, implying that experience would be a strategic advantage to them. The funny part of that phrase, of course, is look where it's gotten them. There is nothing in its...

Amazon made the big leap today with their app, including an instant dictionary feature that works fairly well (although not as good with long definitions). With all the changes going on with these apps, Apple and Amazon have clearly established themselves on the top of the heap. Apple has the...
