I am sure Samsung, Motorola, HP, RIM, and others would love to have a supply shortage.

Apple iPad patents: All bark and no bite?
The Computer History Museum is full of tablet-like handheld devices, some dating back decades. So why is it that the internet is abuzz at a video of a Knight-Ridder iPad "lookalike" that predates the iPad by over a decade? Perhaps it's because people have become weary of Apple acting like it invented nearly everything wonderful and attempting to corner markets with thickets of patents. Or maybe it is because the device in Fidler's video really does look and work almost exactly like an iPad. For me, Roger Zelazny's introduction of book-shaped "AIs" in his novella, Roadmarks, in 1979 pointed the way to an eventual tablet computer. From then on it was just a question of time.

Is the Apple iPad a Tablet?
On the surface, this is probably a silly question. Apple is selling millions Apple iPads every month and tablet fever consumes us. Or does it? Is it tablet fever or iPad fever?

Korean carrier says Galaxy S II ICS update coming 'tomorrow'; Samsung promises announcement 'soon'
After a series of false starts, it appears the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update for Galaxy S II (GT-i9100) owners may be about to land. Korean mobile network SK Telecom tweeted this morning that it'll begin rolling out the software update starting 10am KST tomorrow, March 13. (That's 1am GMT, or 9pm EST today, because time zones are crazy like that.) However, the tweet in question was quickly pulled down, and now SK Telecom is telling customers to check with the manufacturer for update information.

The consumerization of IT, which might be the most important trend in IT in the last two decades, is proving to be unstoppable, if not inevitable. Today's workers don't want to go from the easy-to-use touch interface of the mobile devices they use at home to something more difficult and restrictive at work. Furthermore, they want access to the multitude of smartphone applications and services that they have become accustomed to at home.

Logitech's New Unfolding iPad Keyboard: Wider is Better
What do an iPad 2 and an IBM ThinkPad from 1995 have in common? Not a whole lot--unless the iPad is equipped with Logitech's new Fold-Up Keyboard and the ThinkPad is the famous 701 "Butterfly" model. Like the Butterfly ThinkPad, Logitech's new gadget, which snaps onto the bottom of the iPad, packs a keyboard that's wider than the case. As you lift up the iPad, the keyboard swivels out in two pieces--as shown in the first image above--and then pieces together. It's also reminiscent of the Stowaway folding keyboard, a gadget which would be a wonderful iPhone accessory but which appears to no longer be available.

While there are a lot of claims made about how tablet computers such as the iPad could be used as complete replacement for desktop computers, there are a number of obstacles that get in the way of this. There are a number of mobile versions of well-known desktop applications available, but these tend to be far more limited than the software you are used to using and there is also the problem of transferring files between devices to bear in min. These are problems that OnLive Desktop can help with, providing iPad users with a fully functional version of Microsoft Office to work with.

The "new iPad," lacking a definitive surname, has been updated so marginally that it's actually given a break to the rest of the mobile industry. Now it's Android's opportunity to leap ahead.

Photonic crystal tablets - the future of iPads?
Many animals -- think butterflies and peacocks -- get their beautiful colors not only from pigments, but also from nanoscale structures that manipulate light. As a matter of fact, such 'structural color' -- where the color results from interferences, not pigments -- is ubiquitous in nature. When light is incident on a crystalline structure with appropriate periodicity, some colors will be preferentially reflected. This success in nature has inspired researchers to develop numerous methods for incorporating structural color, i.e. the use of surface architecture without using chemical dyes and without altering the chemical composition of a material. These photonic crystals and the structural color they generate represent an interesting method for creating reflective displays and drawing devices since they can achieve a continuous color response and do not require back lighting.

Playing nice with GarageBand for iPad
Apple touts its GarageBand for iPad application as a great way to play and record music without the need to learn scales or time signatures.

And those with significant investments in recording equipment may be wondering which, if any, of their existing gear will work with the portable version of GarageBand. I decided to grab my trusty iPad, my iPad camera connection kit, and powered USB hub and plug in whatever I had around to see what would work.

A deceptive little beast of a puzzler, Triple Town lures you close and sinks its teeth in before demanding you feed it more of your hard-earned cash. This clever hybrid of match-three puzzles and settlement planning gameplay from Spry Fox is insidiously addictive, but poorly conceived micro-transactions soon suck all the joy out of the experience.

Turn Your iPad into a PowerPoint Presenter
If you're in the business of making presentations, you know what a time-suck it can be to work with PowerPoint on a laptop. You have to connect a projector, wait an eternity for the PC to boot, run PowerPoint, load your slide deck, switch the laptop's video output to projector mode, and on and on. It's easy to blow 10-20 minutes just getting set up for your presentation--not a productive use of your time.

Up Close With the New Apple iPad 4G
The best thing about the new iPad 4G is the retina screen. This 2048 x 1536-pixel screen makes people, places, things and games look real enough touch. It also makes the iPad's 9.7-inch display seem somehow much, much larger. The retina display is certainly the attribute that stands out the most in my video walk-through.

What happened to the iPad killers of 2010?
The mobile computing industry has an alarming tendency to scamper along in the deep footfalls left behind by Apple's pearly snow boots. Not that this is a bad thing -- someone has to break the ice, after all -- and I doubt anyone would say that the world is worse off now that we have iPhones and iPads. What's astonishing, though, is just how many attempts there have been to topple Apple's dominance in the smartphone and tablet markets.

Cellular versions of the new iPad come with support for the latest and greatest wireless networking technology, LTE. In the U.S., both AT&T and Verizon have LTE networks. You'd think this would be a recipe for network simplicity for Apple's iPads at long last... but you'd be wrong.

Who cares that the iPad 3 is thicker and heavier than the iPad 2?

Cook, like Jobs before him, will try to convince us that it changes everything -- and you know what? It will.

Will the iPad kill the big screen TV?
I keep hearing that more and more people are watching movies and TV shows on their iPads or other tablets. That's amazing; every single one of these folks probably owns a large flat-screen display, but the "convenience" of watching a tablet in bed or on the train is a better fit. It's a lifestyle issue, where size really does matter.
