This Is Why We’re All Effed: iPad Tops 1 Million Sales, 3G Version Is Identical, and We’re Microwaving Them

Photo via Veronica Belmont There are few things out there that do a better job than the iPad at highlighting just what’s wrong with us when it comes to our gadget mentality. We love our gadgets, and they hold a lot of potential for dematerializing our lives, which means a smaller collective carbon footprint and hope for a sustainable future. But that potential only goes as far as we will take it, and from the looks of things, we aren’t wanting to dematerialize and, what’s worse, we aren’t even valuing the stuff that we put up on a pedestal as revolutionary. The iPad underscores all this with Apple reporting over 1 million sales of the first device, the launch of the 3G version which is exactly the same save for 3G connectivity and a higher price tag, and news of people doing everything from microwaving to blending to beating the device with a baseball bat. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Apple: Will Host A Conference In June And A new iPhone Is Expected

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

An annual developers’ conference hosted by Apple will start in June 7. During this conference, the company is expected to unveil the latest version of the iPhone. The event will run in San Francisco until June 11. The Apple spokeswoman declined to say who would be delivering the keynote this year because of the incident that had happened last year. The event in previous years has featured a keynote address given by Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs. In 2009, Jobs was on a medical leave and so marketing head Phil Schiller took the responsibility and substituted on his behalf. Analyst expects the company to unveil the newest iPhone at this year’s conference, which is anticipated to be launched later this summer. The third-generation iPhone was unveiled at last year’s gathering, and went on sale less than two weeks later. The iPhone released in 2007 has become a hit to consumers. Apple sold a record of 8.75 million smartphones in its most recent quarter. Many anticipate the fourth-generation iPhone to have a new feature such as a front-facing camera. iPhone’s exclusive carrier in the U.S. is the AT&T, but analysts predict that the company will bring the device to carrier Verizon in the year 2011. Apple’s conference will also includes its first iPad development sessions. Apple released the 9.7-inch touchscreen tablet in the market earlier this month and it sold about 500,000 units in its first week.

Posted on April 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Israel is the only country that banned the iPad, it was about their concern that the wireless tablet will disrupt the signals of other devices. According to Yechiel Shabi, a ministry spokesman, he said that their Communications Ministry conducted thorough inspection before allowing the iPad in their country.  The ministry just wanted to clarify that the series of tests they performed has nothing to do to the issue that the iPad’s wireless signal could cause interference to the signals of the military equipments.  As a matter of fact, 10 units of the device were confiscated in the airport, but they are now allowed to be retrieved by the owners. Even though this may look awkward, Shabi and the Communications Ministry just wanted to test the device.
