Steve Jobs was one of the featured guests at the Wall Street Journal’s annual D: All Things Digital conference. Yesterday he talked with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher about a variety of topics including: Flash, how the tablet concept started, and information about the iPad’s success.

Did you know Apple first started with the tablet concept for the iPad, before the iPhone? Yes, that’s right. Check out the following dialogue … Read More

Since there are now a lot more Canadians with iPads, as of this weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to go over jailbreaking, and why it might be for you. We may have talked about this already, but I’m sure there are quite a few new visitors to the site, now that the iPad is finally available in Canada.

Let’s start fresh. What is jailbreaking? Jailbreaking … Read More

From the moment the iPad was released, people have been devising the most interesting iPad stands. So far we’ve covered the 89 cent iPad stand, the hockey puck stand, and the official Apple Dock and iPad Case (which I love). If you’re looking for a cheap iPad stand you can easily make one out of a coat hanger. Say what?! Yes, that’s right, a coat hanger.

Apple’s marketing team comes up with some pretty neat commercials. Just think of the Mac vs PC ads, “There’s an app for that” iPhone commercials, and more. With the iPad, a new commercial launched that seems to break from the simplistic Apple trend (the first iPad commercial debuted during the Grammy Awards). The flow of the commercial and the voiceover reminded me of a Droid Does commercial more … Read More

Did you ever play Super Mario Kart on the SNES? That is one of my favourite SNES games of all time. It’s a classic and I remember playing one on one battles for hours on end ages ago. One of our find friends, Dusty, from iEvolution.ca has posted a video of playing Super Mario Kart on his iPad, controlled via a Wiimote.

This is an awesome way to bring back the … Read More

The iPad can be jailbroken using the latest Spirit jailbreak. What I love about the jailbreak community is they always figure out incredible ways for us to push our devices to the extreme. Kind of like the chap Maxwell who was able to successfully mount an external hard drive to his iPad via the Camera Connection Kit (which happens to support USB keyboards/headsets).

Maxwell has written some detailed … Read More

We’ve seen the iPad undergo a stress test and dudes smashing it to bits with a baseball bat. What’s the next viral iPad destruction video? How about the iPad being nuked in a microwave? Yes, that’s right. Some people have a lot of time and money on their hands. So much time that they have videotaped their experiment of what happens when you heat up an iPad in … Read More

It’s finally here. The tool you need to jailbreak your iPad. The Spirit jailbreak is available to download now, from their website. It works on Mac and Windows, to jailbreak ALL Apple iDevices, on OS 3.1.3, and 3.2, untethered. Also, another reminder to back up your SHSH blobs.

The iPad 3G has been jailbroken and torn apart in just a matter of days. Now it has been hacked by MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team to send SMS messages. Here’s what he had to say:

This was sent using a raw AT+CMGS command sent to the iPad baseband. That’s because so far, MobileSMS.app from the iPhone doesn’t run properly on the iPad.

This iPad is using … Read More

The iPad 3G+WiFi model has finally hit Apple Stores in the USA. As for the iPad in Canada, we can expect it to arrive on May 29th (with pre-orders taking place on May 10th). We still haven’t heard specific data plans from Rogers, Bell, or Telus. Let’s hope we’ll be able to use our existing data plans!
