iPad as a game console? Indeed.

So the new Airplay Mirroring, will that allow you to play all your iPad games on your TV if you have an Apple TV hooked up to it? From what I can tell it does and that means you have a pretty kick ass game console in your hand. Sure, this will only work with iPad 2 and Apple TV, but what’s the big deal? Soon (by Christmas), there will be millions upon millions of iPad 2’s. And millions of game players. And after paying all that money for an iPad what’s another $100 to connect it to your TV? That’s throwaway money right there. Now you can play Need for Speed or Angry Birds or Real Racing 2 HD on your TV and get totally immersed with some of the cheapest games on the market. That sounds like a hell of a deal. Considering the cost of an Xbox or a tricked out gaming system and the cost of […]

Apple WWDC – Lion, iOS5, iCloud

I just watched the WWDC coverage and I have to say it was all pretty damn cool. I don’t use a Mac so the Lion pieces weren’t all that interesting to me but the iOS5 updates and the iCloud components had me paying attention. iCloud syncs across multiple devices and multiple Operating Systems. You get 5GB free and your pictures, music, subscriptions and lots of others things don’t count toward that limit. Plus, it works on iOS5, Macs and PCs. Holy kick in the Dropbox Batman! Seems like Apple took a shot at Dropbox, Live, Amazon Cloud and lots of other apps in one mighty swoop. And as I was discussing this with a friend, depending on how you set this up, your iDevices could in fact become Facebook. You could all subscribe to an iCloud account and whenever you update pictures everyone gets copies. That could be pretty interesting. iTunes Match sounds pretty neat as well. Pay $25 a […]

And then there was another iPad

I brought home another iPad last night. Sadly not an iPad 2, but an original 32GB WiFi model in excellent condition. A friend of mine went ahead and pulled the trigger on an upgrade. Then the iPad shuffle began. He gets the new model, which he bought using his iPhone on the way to back to his car after the Apple Store told him they didn’t have any in stock, his wife gets his older model, which has 3G and I ended up with hers. Well, my wife ends up with it since I already have one. I am trying to seduce her over to the dark side. She has been a Franklin Covey planner gal for years but I feel the might power of the iPad may be able to help her. The planner is big and bulky and where do you store them? I think apps like Appigo ToDo, Notebooks for iPad, Awesome Note, Chapters, Penultimate, Goodreader and […]
