God, I want to F that Kindle

OK, so the iPad is a nerd who sunbathes while fully clothed and the Kindle has boobs. Fine. But that chick is pretty much the only thing sexy about the Kindle, and to point out that you only paid $139 – or roughly one quarter the price of an iPad – would be more impressive if it did one quarter of what the iPad does. But given the Kindle is a 1-trick pony whose main advantage appears to be easier reading while outdoors (which would only account for 5% of the reading I do... Read More

Did Steve Jobs accidentally announce the iPad 2 for this November?

Faithful Macenstein reader Philipp noticed something that we missed when watching yesterday’s Special Event – namely Steve Jobs apparently letting slip that the iPad is getting a camera in November. Check out around 15:27 in his speech: That’s right, Steve says HDR photos are coming to the iPad this November! So, does that mean the iPad is getting a camera in two months? Probably not… but maybe. Lord knows we all thought it would launch with one. Of course... Read More

Well this is disappointing

When I first heard someone had made an Optimus Prime iPad Stand, naturally I got pretty excited. However, upon seeing what basically amounts to some guy bending the G1 Optimus Prime toy in half and laying an iPad on it, I have to say this doesn’t even warrant an “E” for Effort. via Tweet Photo  Read More

Fans choose iPads over paper at Comic-Con

Above: “Fire” is the one on the left (Pic by Adam Hughes). Can anything TRULY be considered “geeky” when you’re at Comic-Con? Well, I’m not sure, but if so, then this has to come close. You know how at comic conventions people will stand in line for hours waiting to have an original piece of comic art drawn for them by some prominent comic book artist? No? Well they do. Myself included. I can recall one such depressing outing at a Ramada Inn... Read More
