No One Needs To Know About Your Paper iPad [Ipad]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on February 7th, 2010
Someone might judge you for putting together a mock iPad, but it's certainly not going to be us. Be it for practicing the Tablet Sutra or faking out a fanboy friend, here's the template you've been looking for.
Courtesy of Jess Silverstone at Revolutionary Concepts, this template can be printed on standard paper and will fold into an iPad that's just about the same size as the real thing, as long as your printer is capable of borderless printing.
Here's the front and the back, and here's what your arts and crafts project will look like when it's all put together:
So have at it. I'm not gonna ask any questions. [MacRumors]
Major textbook pubs partner with ScrollMotion for iPad development
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on February 3rd, 2010
Putting traditional print publication on an iPhone screen is old hat for ScrollMotion, and now it's taking that know-how to a larger screen. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Kaplan, Pearson Education, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt K-12, and the educational sector of McGraw-Hill have all made deals with the company to develop textbook apps and test-prep / study guide apps for the Apple iPad. No other details are given and we unfortunately lack any timeline. It certainly makes the machine more classroom-viable, but we'll hold judgment until we see what actually comes of this partnership -- your move, Kindle.Major textbook pubs partner with ScrollMotion for iPad development originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:22:00 EST.

The Wall Street Journal | Email this | Comments Borders Bookstores Includes Mysterious “Apple iPAD” in Survey [Speculation]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on August 15th, 2009
A recent survey from Borders Bookstore seeks to find how familiar its customers are with e-readers from Amazon, Sony, and Plastic Logic. This particular survey, however, includes "the Apple iPAD (large screen reading device)," which is exceedingly interesting.
There are a few possible explanations for the inclusion of a phantom, hotly anticipated device on a tangentially related retailer's customer survey. First, Borders, somehow, in some weird alternate universe, has incredibly privileged information from Apple on the most secretive product since the iPhone, and has haphazardly namedropped it in a survey. For reasons I had to state while explaining that option, I don't believe that's too likely.
The more logical explanation is that Borders thinks an Apple tablet or e-reader is possible, and included it on the survey based solely on the extensive rumors that those dastardly blogs have been ranting about. That explains the very un-Apple capitalization of iPAD as well as the paranthetical description. Our best bet? Pure speculation. Like, well, everything else involving the Apple tablet.
