Can I play with your iPad?

I remember on Friday Haoming put on his msn name "Slept for 14 hours and still feeling tired @_@" Like, are you kidding me? I slept for 5, went to work for 10, came back and went to the gym for a couple of hours! RAWR! I think I've learned to appreciate the weekends much more because work is tiring... I love it, its just I hate waking up at 6:30am

On Friday I met the two bosses of my company, Don and Debra. I was actually excited to meet them because Debra is the one who gave me my job and I made sure she knew I appreciated it. Don was at his desk playing with his iPad and I wanted to ask if I could see it but yeah... that would be so unprofessional and probably a bit weird so I wisely decided not to ask haha.

Saturday Afternoon I went to stc to buy more dress shirts for work. At night I went to play pool at mix2. It was so jokes. There was 1 table left and a group of asian guys was in front of Canny and I. Canny zooms passed the fobs and get the last pool table open and all the guys were like "Aww man, wah the fack man!"

You know what I noticed? Canny and I make a great team. Maybe its because we face each other a lot in pool so we know the shots each other can make but I find we both get better when we are on the same team. I think we were undefeated yesterday? Some how it was 2am when we were done playing at the arcade. I think thats the latest I've seen Lisa out haha. Good weekend but its Sunday, meaning its Monday tomorrow >__> Another week of work!

iPad Jailbroken

Congratulations Steve Jobs, your iPad has officially been jailbroken within 24-hours. The iPad has been jailbroken and can currently run an SSH server. The 3.2 firmware still has a number of security holes which allowed the iPhone Dev-Team to break it using the iPhone 3.1.3 hack.

I don't intend to buy the iPad just because my current lifestyle doesn't require an iPhone on steroids, but if I did want one I still wouldn't purchase it now. The current owners are pretty much beta testing it for the world, and on top of that, it doesn't even have 3G capabilities yet! Talk about a lack of technology in a revolutionary device! What I would like to see the next generation have is a webcam on the top of its screen so people can Skype with it. I see that being much more useful in the modern life (and plus everything is better with a camera attached to it).

P.s. Jaime, you're the only person I know who would even consider purchasing the iPad now. I hope you get it so I can come over to check it out.

The Revolutionary 'iPad'

The long awaited new apple device is finally here! When Steve Jobs unveiled the 9.7-inch touchscreen tablet, which looks like a large iPhone, Apple quickly took a hit in the stock market but surprisingly it jumped back up once it was announced the price will start at $499 (16GB version). The iPad is supposed to be a "third category" of devices, a do-everything media gadget that can surf the Web, and play movies and video games. Sort of a hybrid of both the iPhone and a laptop.Fun Facts
The icons are like those on the iPhone, complete with a tray at the bottom, and the iPad runs on the iPhone's operating system. Jobs spent some time showing off some of the iPad's features, including e-mail and web browsing. It will ship with iTunes installed. It's powered by a 1GHz Apple A4 chip, and has 16GB to 64GB of flash storage. It has 10 hours of battery life and over a month of standby power. As said earlier the iPad will start at $499 U.S. for the 16GB version, while a 32GB model will cost $599 and a 64 GB model will cost $799. Versions of the iPad with built in 3G connectivity will cost an extra $130, ranging in price from $629 to $829. Because over 75 million iPhones and iPod touches are around the world, Apple expects a large amount of Apple users to already know how to operate the iPad. Jobs said the iPad will sync with a computer over a USB connection just like an iPod or iPhone.

*Not actually how it looks*

So will the iPad last?
Its hard to tell until I've tried it personally but you have to look at the market they are going for. A device thats the combination of the iPhone and laptop is great but you have to understand maybe people who already have laptops also have some sort of smart phone (whether iPhone or not). Will these people be willing to spend $500 for just a combination of the 2? The idea might be worth more than the actual product because consumers have never warmed to tablet computers, despite many previous attempts by other companies. But I was impressed with the technology that Apple showed off. The iPad has a near life-size touch keyboard, and comes with all the expected features, including a calendar, an address book and maps. We will have to see if Apple can start another trend

Apple has proved they are the head of the pack. The iPod revolutionized mp3s and the iPhone pushed cellphones above and beyond their limits, maybe the iPad will now revolutionize tablets.

Let the jokes begin

Apple isn't making it any easier on themselves by calling the tablet an 'iPad'. I'm not even going to say why because the topic itself is too distrubing to me. I sure hope Steve Jobs come up with a new name for it and I hope he does it soon.
