Adobe Photoshop App Update Absent in iPad App Store
I was updating some apps on my iPhone through the App Store today, and I noticed that most of my apps were being iPad update readied. From large names to small apps, they were updated except for one very conspicuous name – Adobe. It’s no secret that Adobe Flash and iPad do not mix. It’s also no secret that Steve Jobs has said that HTML5 and open standards are the stronger of the languages, going so … Read entire article »

Apple iPad iBooks – A Hands On Review
iBooks, the Apple bookstore for the iPad and iPhone has been released and according to this review by Mark Wilson there’s a lot that’s good balanced by a few bad things.

iPad Runs Newton OS Courtesy of Jonathan Vi
Few people remember the Apple Newton OS, one of the first hand-held computers in the world. Well, one guy does, and his name is Jonathan Vi. Vi runs a group called the Einstein Project (their repository of Newton love can be found on code.google.com) and he’s in love with the Newton. So much so, he has ported Newton to the iPad. Vi, a receiver of an early delivery iPad for his review, did more than David Pogue did in his time with the iPad, he actually got Newton to run on the device. We can’t say why he did it, but we can say it took him less than a week and we can also say that Jonathan Vi loves the Newton more than anyone else on our planet. I just hope … Read entire article »
