, Mar 30th 2010 Discuss [0]

Despite the fact that the iPad is going to finally be in consumer's hands this Saturday, and despite the fact that Apple has posted up a long list of iPad "how-to" videos, there are still questions.

The truth is, people's questions about the iPad are vast, far-reaching experiences that very nearly touch upon the Devil's Advocate scenario. But, that didn't stop Laptop Mag from compiling a list of those questions, and then getting them answered by some of the industry's greatest minds. Read The Full Story

, Mar 30th 2010 Discuss [3]

Chalk this one up to a rumor, real quick. While we've seen what the Valhalla redesign is going to look like on the inside, but up until about now there's been nothing about what the physical aesthetics would look like. Now, we realize that the images herein don't go far into fixing that, but you can clearly see that whatever this person is holding, it does look like a smaller Xbox 360. And, sadly enough, it could be something as simple as this that breaks the cover on this long-rumored piece of gadgetry. Read The Full Story

Nintendo DSi XL Review

, Mar 30th 2010 Discuss [2]

It’s the DSi on steroids, the portable console for the poorly sighted, for your grandparents, for anyone with big hands and big pockets.

Apple iPad Hitting Every Seton Hill University Full Time Student

, Mar 30th 2010 Discuss [0]

There's no doubt that the education market is somewhere that Apple wants the iPad to be. After all, using the tablet as a replacement for your huge text books would probably be something every student on the planet would be willing to do. Especially if the book publishers could figure out a good price for those digital editions.

Apple sued over multitouch IP: iPad & iPhone imports under threat?

, Mar 30th 2010 Discuss [5]

Apple's iPad might be shipping out to preorder customers, but there's at least one company who'd like to put a stop to it.  Taiwanese company Elan Microelectronics have filed a suit against Apple with the US International Trade Commission (ITC) today, on the premise that the Cupertino company's multitouch implementation impinges on one of their own patents.  If upheld, the ITC could block Apple from bringing iPads - along with iPhones, iPod touch PMPs and the Magic Mouse - into the US.

, Mar 30th 2010 Discuss [3]

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project and Pixel Qi have announced a cross-licensing agreement that will see the former's affordable laptops for developing nations use the latter's 3qi low-power displays.  It comes as little surprise, perhaps, what with Pixel Qi founder Mary Lou Jepsen being an ex-OLPC team member; the Pixel Qi panels were always planned to head back to OLPC and reduce the energy-efficient laptops' power consumption even further.
