I like the idea of IPad. and I would like to have something like it. but I read a lot of reviews and it seems that IPad is far from perfect. but also I prefer Windows over Apple. so is there something similar to IPad (that is running Windows, preferably) ?

Is there something similar to IPad that is running Windows on it?

Macworld – In response to my iMovie for iPhone review, one Mr. Lizard posed this question:

Is it possible to offload completed projects onto an iPad using the iPad Camera Connection Kit to free up space on the iPhone?

Indeed it is. as far as the iPad is concerned, the iPhone 4 (and earlier iPhones, for that matter) is just another camera. String the iPhone’s USB cable between the iPhone’s dock connector port and the USB camera connector attached to your Mac. the iPad’s Photos then launches with the Camera tab selected. any movies you’ve created with iMovie and then exported to the iPhone’s Photos app will be available to copy to your iPad. Just tap the movies you want to copy to the iPad and tap the Import button in the upper-right corner of the iPad’s screen.

This is a tremendous way to view your iMovies on a big(ger) screen in a hurry and makes the iPad Camera Connection Kit all that much more valuable.

iPhone App Ideas > iPad Articles > The iPad: an Appiction Review

So much that is written about new technology is speculation. this couldn’t be more true with a device like the iPad. because the iPad is so different from anything they’ve ever used, most people who buy it don’t even fully know what they’ll do with it until they get their hands on one. We managed to get an iPad when it was first released, and after having used it for a few weeks, we now feel ready to discuss its pros and cons.

Many have said the iPad is one of the best media consumption devices they have ever used. this couldn’t be more true. its real strength is not in producing content but in reading, listening to, and watching it. because you can zoom in and reposition web pages with little to no effort, the iPad is extremely easy on your eyes. You don’t have to squint at your monitor like you would on a laptop or desktop machine. this ultimately allows you to read more for longer periods of time.

Reading on the iPad
I personally love to use the iPad for reading books in bed. one thing I never liked about bedtime reading is having to hold books open. It’s just not comfortable. The iPad is a big improvement in this regard. I can set it down in front of me and lay flat on my stomach in a more comfortable position.

Some bloggers have criticized the iPad on the grounds that you always have to hold it. that isn’t really true. I can read books while the iPad is laying flat on a countertop or resting on my lap. it doesn’t matter what angle you see it from, the content on the device looks mostly the same (assuming you clean off a few fingerprints). it makes for an interesting breakfast experience with the family. if you’re sitting next to each other, you can read articles at the same time.

The iPad is portable in a completely new way. Granted, it doesn’t fit into your pocket, but you will find yourself walking to the kitchen, setting it down on the counter as you make your morning coffee, and reading while the eggs are cooking. The best way to describe its portability to say it’s a lot like a book. You will take it where you usually take books.

Games on the iPad
Games will be taken to a whole new level on the iPad. I downloaded a few games and found the touchscreen interface to be truly revolutionary for this purpose. this is especially true if you love strategy and RTS games like Command and Conquer. if you do get the iPad, download the free game board apps that give you a checkers and chess board with pieces you can move via touch. I played a game of chess with my brother, and it was just like having a real chess board in front of us. I’ll say it now. The iPad will revolutionize family gaming, opening up a lot of new possibilities.

Producing content on the iPad
You can be lightly productive on the iPad too. The mail application is probably the best productivity tool on the device. It’s great for getting a nice overview of your email. Checking and reading through messages is a lot easier than on a laptop or desktop machine. actually responding to emails, however, starts to get complicated. Apple claims the keyboard is easy to use in sideways mode, but that’s not really true. I find myself reverting to the classic “hunt and peck” typing strategy my dad uses.

The iPad’s touch interface also makes it a challenge to edit text you have already written. this, I feel, isn’t so much a limitation of the device but of the software running on it. Let’s say you made a typo and need to go a few words back to edit out your mistake. Doing so is easy with a keyboard. You just press the arrow buttons. But the iPad doesn’t have any arrow buttons! it gets frustrating when you have to tap multiple times, and sometimes in the wrong places, just to get the device to recognize where you want to revise your text. Apple, if you are listening, something can be done about this issue. It’s unnecessarily clunky.

If you have the money, go ahead and purchase the keyboard stand. with this stand, you effectively turn your iPad into a second or third monitor in your office or at home. although they are still very buggy, there are apps that allow you to use your iPad as an extension of your laptop or desktop monitor. once these apps are developed a little better, they’ll make the iPad an even better desktop companion. as it is, having the ability to play Pandora, display books and web pages, and check email on a totally separate screen has proven to be very handy.

So, should you get one of these things? I don’t think you’ll have a choice in a few years when the device really takes off and the price drops. It’s a must-have if you love to read, watch movies, and play games. There’s almost too much content to absorb. plus, even though the device isn’t the best for productivity on its own, it will improve your productivity when you use it as a second or third screen in your office.

With the barge of iPad app ideas flooding in, the whole field of app development is now open to exciting new prospects.We love the iPad, and we can’t wait to see what iPad app developers do with it in the next year!

Asus is not only showing off its Eee Pad prototypes at Computex, it is also touting the Eee Tablet. Confused? well, kinda, sorta. but Inkers might pay attention to the distinction. the 8 inch, 1024 x 768 pixel display of the Eee Tablet is being targeted towards note takers. It is capable of displaying 64 shades of gray and the touch screen is a supposedly very sensitive 2450 DPI touch screen sensitivity that interacts with a special stylus. It is not e-Ink.

So the Eee Tablet is a note taking device with an very sensitive screen that Asus says is like writing on paper, and it is also an eBook reader. It’s due in September at a price point between $199 and $299.

Engadget has more pics and video here.

Can You Handle the New Apple iPad?

Popularity: 1% [?]

Yesterday, Apple’s small “inner circle” of tech columnists published reviews of the hotly-anticipated iPad tablet computer. By and large, it was a marketing coup for the Cupertino-based company. the Wall Street Journal’s Walter Mossburg said the iPad “could change portable computing” forever. Time’s Stephen Fry said the only way you could take it from him was to “prise it from my cold, dead hands.” In no time, the laudatory reviews were rounded up, repackaged and regurgitated by the BBC, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and dozens of other publications including this site.

But something was missing. the two most popular gadget sites on the Web, Engadget and Gizmodo, were silent: they never received review units from Apple. this is especially surprising because Engadget’s editor is expected to bring an iPad on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. Gizmodo found out it was getting snubbed on Wednesday when Apple canceled its meeting with editor Brian Lam. while these sites could very well publish iPad reviews later today, some are speculating that Apple’s snubbing them to prevent critical reviews of the iPad from getting out:

The iPad's Quid Pro Quo Marketing Strategy

Popularity: 1% [?]

The first episode of the third season of “Sam & Max” released on the PC and PS3 on April 15th, but it’s actual debut coincided with the release of the iPad. I’ve spent some time with the title and I’m more than pleased with the faithful transition to the new platform — but it’s not without its problems.

The Basics

In the third season’s inaugural episode, dubbed “The Penal Zone,” Sam & Max find themselves at odds with an evil alien gorilla who comes to Earth in search of fabled toys. As the grim narrator points out in the beginning of the tale, this is the usual story that features the odd duo stopping the bad guy.

What he doesn’t reveal is that the entertainment from this particular adventure stems from an unlikely place: Max’s plot arc. That’s not to discount the series’ characteristic wit, dialogue, and well-written story, but this episode is something of a change of a pace courtesy of the sociopathic rabbit-thing.

The Highs

Hitting those story Moments Faster
Max’s transformation to a psychic bunny-beast brings in a few key innovative design elements that act as delightful and refreshing twists for the series in general. Max gains the ability to teleport (with victims) and see the future. The latter power is an important one: when using it, you’ll actually see the result of a discovery or a plot element before it happens in the game. The insight keeps the episode flowing, allowing you to hit all the plot beats without frustration. it also adds a compelling wrinkle to the story as most of the action won’t occur chronologically.

Mr. Auto-Run to the Rescue!
Navigation is the biggest boo-boo in this particular version of the game (more on that below) but an auto-run mechanic, the overall undemanding nature of the adventure game experience, and the quick reveal of interactive objects act as good band-aids. Pressing two fingers to the screen highlight what things can be interacted with, cutting the hassle of nook-and-cranny exploration. When that item is double-clicked, Sam will run to it automatically, killing much of the desire for a different navigation setup.

The Lows

Hi Wall! Fancy Meetin’ you Here
Character movement is muddied by the imprecise fingering and dragging of Sam along the game’s tightly constructed environments. You’ll slam into geometry, move in undesirable directions, and even accidentally trigger events (thereby breaking the narrative flow that you’ll want to control) instead of hitting the places you want to. if it wasn’t for the auto-run, this little bite-sized version of the adventure would have fallen flat.

Hot, cold, slow, and Screeching
Perhaps because the game just requires more memory than the mighty iPad has, you’ll catch spots of lag or experience more than a few loading hiccups. One platform-specific problem you’ll definitely catch are the terrible audio screeches that occur after loading screens. Keep that volume down.

The Verdict

Aside from the bothersome manual movement and weird audio screeches, this first iPad edition of “Sam & Max” is an enjoyable experience. Expect some brilliant change of pace additions that come in tow with this latest iteration and expect the same warmth, character, and a similar style of play as always. Just don’t expect perfect.

So you shelled out for an iPad, and you’re staring at an empty homescreen. you need games. but which ones?

These are the first 10 games you should try for your iPad. They’re the prettiest and the most novel, the best suited and most refined, but most of all, they’re the most entertaining games you can buy for your new pad right now, as collected from or iPad app review marathon, and essential iPad apps directory.

Fieldrunners: From our App Review Marathon:

This is the same Fieldrunners you know and love from the iPhone, it’s just had its resolution jacked up for the iPad. And it looks beautiful. Gameplay is smooth, the sound effects are great, and having that extra screen real estate keeps you from accidentally tapping the wrong turret when you’re upgrading them. Tower defense games don’t get much better than this, really. $8

Geometry Wars: says Jason:

The game looks fantastic, even though it’s graphically less impressive-fewer particle effects and shapes are more pixelated-than the XBLA version. the controls are damn good for a touchscreen, but if you’re comparing to two physical sticks, you lose out on the twitch action that advanced players need.

Controls aren’t ideal, and a poorly position bomb button is confusing, but otherwise it’s “pretty fantastic.” $10.

Flight Control HD: In this game, you guide planes to landing by tracing their flight paths with your finger. it was a perfect concept for the iPhone. For the iPad:

You have the same gameplay as the iPhone version, but with bigger, more complicated levels with more runways and types of aircraft. you can play with friends either sharing one screen or over WiFi. And the higher resolution allows for a nice boost in the quality of the graphics. Awesome.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert: The classic RTS, updated with 3D and touch controls.

In the iPad version of C&C, moving around your map is perfectly intuitive, with 1:1 dragging, or faster movement by way of a draggable map reticule. you select a unit by tapping, and command it to move or attack with another. want to change the camera’s elevation? Pinch, zoom.

The graphics are great, and while the game could stand to feel a bit larger (I want to zoom out more!), it’s still fun—and it’s a spectacular start for the iPad RTS genre.

Mirror’s Edge: when Mirror’s Edge debuted on the console, it was something like a first-person shooter, and it made people motion sick. (It was also a clever and well executed game, but the vomit thing is a better touchstone, no?) anyway, the iPad version is a 3D sidescroller, so it loses some of its vertigo-inducing charm. it makes of for it, though, with flow: as you’re swiping, sliding, and jumping your character through the levels, you can’t help but think the game concept is perfect for a large touchscreen. $13.

NFS: Shift: If you’re looking to try a 3D game with high production values, this is a good place to start. the graphics have been upgraded from the iPhone version, and the sensation of actually steering your iPad is intoxicating. It’s pricey, at $15, but it gives you a real sense of what the platform is capable of.

Words with Friends: A Scrabblish word game you can play in real time, or slowly. you can keep up to 20 games running at once, which exemplifies a specific kind of passive, leisurely gaming I expect the iPad to be well suited to.

Labyrinth 2 HD: says Jason, of what was far and away the best marble game on the iPhone:

It’s like Labyrinth on the iPhone (you can even play iPhone levels), but in 3D and on a bigger screen. the 3D is pretty awesome, and you can even play user-created levels. There’s a free version and an $8 version. try the free one first to see if you like it.

Cogs: A 3D puzzle game in which you arrange and manipulate a variety of hardware to create giant machines. It’s Rube Goldbergian, visually impressive, vastly improved in the upsizing process (it was a fairly popular iPhone game) and even has a free Lite version.

X-Plane: A full-fledged 3D flight sim for the iPad, with tons of planes and environments, and significantly upgraded graphics compared to the iPhone version. Granted, this is a flight sim, which means it’s less about achieving objectives than it is just cruisin’ around in the sky. $10.
