Indycar’s Tony Kanaan uses his iPad during races – out geeks the competition

Well, looks like we found at least ONE customer for Scosche’s iKit iPad car mount! In this clip, professional racecar driver (and apparently professional tech geek) Tony Kanaan gives a brief overview of how his team has already incorporated the iPad into their workflow to help streamline the pit stop experience. I must admit I never really got into the whole driving quickly in an oval thing (or whatever shape track Indycar guys race on) but still, this is pretty cool.... Read More

Prepare to be pulled over – Scosche unveils its iPad car mount

Oddly enough just yesterday morning I tried to put my iPad into a Magellan iPhone GPS cradle to see if I could use any core location-based navigation apps on the iPad, and the answer was unfortunately “No”. However, despite navigation apps apparently not being an option on the iPad, it looks like Scosche feels there will be enough demand from those people looking to Tweet and play Plants Vs Zombies while driving to create a car iPad mounting system called the iKit. I... Read More

And the award for “Most Optimistic iPad Developer” goes to….

(image by Ian Silber) Nekori, who just released their Huge Pedometer app for the iPad. Good luck fellas! Personally I think this is a great way to get a workout. Not only will the extra weight help build muscle, but you’ll be inspired to pick up the pace to avoid all the small, rock-throwing children who taunt you. It will be like having your own personal trainer!  Read More

OK, that’s just eerie…

I suppose with the amount of Words with Friends I’ve been playing odds are I would eventually find words spelled out for me in my tile rack, but as a Mac geek, I thought this was pretty bizarre. And yes, this was one of the few games I actually won.  Read More

Not exactly what Apple intended the iPad to be used for – WARNING! NSFW

I don’t know who Ryan Kelly is, but apparently she’s French, hot, naked, and owns an iPad. This clip is EXTREMELY not safe for work, and I hesitated (briefly) in posting it, but I just got back from the MOMA in New York where there was some super lame video installation with real, live naked people, and let me tell you, this is every bit as artistic as that was – it just doesn’t have a bunch of security guards standing around making sure you don’t touch... Read More

Ren & Stimpy creator John K. disses iPhone/iPad’s design

Apple is widely regarded in the electronics industry as a design leader and innovator. There is little doubt that even Apple’s stiffest competition look to Apple for “inspiration” for their own designs. But is this a good thing? Not according to Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi, it isn’t. In a recent blog post, John singles out Apple’s iPhone and iPad as examples of the lack of thought and design in today’s gadgets. And after reading... Read More

OH it’s ON!!! Bill Gates shares his outrageous opinions on the iPad!

Hold on to your hats folks, Bill Gates has broken his silence on the iPad and what he has to say is going to BLOW… YOUR… MIND. I don’t want to ruin it for you, but it rhymes with “No comment”. WORST… INTERVIEW… EVER. So why is it Bill Gates can’t actually give his opinion on anything? If I were Bill Gates I’d be out there giving my opinion on everything from Dancing with the Stars to the size of Heidi Montag’s new boobs,... Read More

Man gives thieves the finger in iPad theft

OK, actually, he didn’t give it to them, they took it, along with his two iPads. Ouch.   (yeah, it’s Flash only, get over it). [via Engadget]  Read More

ATTENTION DEVELOPERS: Let me promote your app FOR FREE!

Because of my firm belief that you can never be spread too thin, I am looking into starting yet another side business. And while my other attempts at income (male model, retired millionaire) have proven somewhat less than successful, this one might actually have some legs, assuming I don’t get bored. I’m looking to create promotional video trailers for games and apps designed for the iPhone and iPad, and the good news is, I’m willing to do the first couple... Read More
