First iPad AD Shown at the Academy Awards

I was watching the Academy Awards last night, when to my surprise I saw the very first iPad commercial. Interestingly enough there was no Lego brick in the ad.

Apple Shares Higher Then Ever Before After iPad Shipping Announcement

Today, Apple’s stock price hit a record high of $218.95 which in an increase of about 4%. What triggered the sudden increase was the long awaited announcement that the iPad would begin shipping on April 3rd. But if I were Apple I would not start celebrating yet considering the 9% drop of their stock price when the iPad was announced. Are you planning to buy an iPad, or are you avoiding it completely. Leave your comments below.

New York Times To Change Online Access Fees, One Week Before Possible Apple Tablet Announcement

The New York Magazine is reporting that the New York Times will  soon be changing the way they charge readers for online content. Incase you have been living in cave for the past two months, the New York Times has leaked a number of details about the Apple Tablet (or iSlate), which is rumored to be announced on January 27th. This is interesting because it means that A) the New York Times is preparing for a possible tablet announcement from Apple on the 27th or B) that Apple has cut a deal with The New York Times to publish content on the tablet. We are pretty sure that Apple has talked with content providers (including  the New York Times) about publishing content on the Apple Tablet, so it is a big possibility. Could we soon be reading the New York Times on our iSlate’s. We will just have to wait and see.

Apple Tablet Arriving Q1 Next Year?

If the Apple Tablet really exists it is believed that it will be manufactured by Foxconn. Now DigiTimes is reporting that 400,000 tablets will be ready by the 1 quarter of next year.

Also of note, is that Foxconn has its own Innolux Display subsidiary which might be used instead of Wintek.

I would not take these rumors too seriously though because we don't even know if the Apple Tablet even exists.
