The iPad is a "halo" device designed to get the netbook and $600 Win 7 laptop crowd into a Apple Store where they quickly see it's limitations and perhaps be sold on buying a Mac. Apple, starting with the MacBook Air, introducing the iPad and nea…

I would cancel the iPad, not just because I detest the thing and everything it represents, but to send a message this sort of bait and switch tactic by AT&T is uncalled for. You can always get one later when your head clears, perhaps just the…

SD cards are quite popular with cameras and newer SDXC cards coming will handle video files better with more storage and speed. SD is thin and with Apple that's a hit. Thin = sexy. One can buy a SD to USB dongle, so having a SD slot isn't mand…
