iLunascape iPad Web Browser Review

The iLunascape web browser for the iPad was launched a few days ago. The application adds a few features that the built-in Safari browser doesn’t have.

One nice addition that we spotted immediately was tabbed browsing. This is possible in a way on Safari, but requires you hit a menu button to jump out of the current browser window and in to another. With iLunascape, the tabs are listed across the bottom of the screen which you can tap on to jump straight to the website you want. Up to six tabs are supported at a time which is less than the nine windows you can use in Safari, but the fast access to them is the bonus here.

The iLunascape browser works quite quick too. When using multitouch gestures to zoom in and out there is no lag and the zoom is as smooth as it is on Safari. [Read more…]

LG Tablet to be Better than the iPad – According to LG

In an interview with the WSJ, the LG VP of Marketing said that the LG Tablet will be better than the iPad. The reason for this is that it’s going to be surprisingly productive to use.

It’s an interesting and bold statement and one we wish them luck with. Often when declaring words such as those mentioned above, the products don’t cut it and end up not selling. [Read more…]

Gmail for iPad Gets UI Update

Google [GOOG] has updated the Gmail UI with a small tweak that brings a stacked cards interface to the iPad.

When we announced our new interface for Gmail on the iPad, we requested feedback on how we could improve this experience for tablet devices. In June, we responded with a new compose screen. Today, we’re addressing the top feedback by launching a new ‘stacked cardĀ interface for selecting and managing multiple conversations.

iSketch for iPad Concept

If you like to use your iPad for drawing (with various apps), but prefer to sit it on a desk then you face the problem of the rounded back making it wobble around a tad.

What the iSketch concept aims to achieve is a platform which the iPad can sit or dock in to that sits the iPad flat on a desk. The iSketch dock has a docking port inside to allow the iPad to stay charged.

The accompanying sketch pen and plenty of sketching apps make it feel like creative-utopia for the moment, but only time and a real-life product review will tell if it’s worth the effort or not!

Apple iPad shot with a Shot Gun – All About Cheaper Tax Preparation

This is a new way to get your message across. A tax preparation company has created an advert of an Apple [AAPL] iPad being shot with a shot gun. The video is filmed at high speed so it can be slowed right down to show the effect of the glass shattering as the bullet flies right through the back of the iPad.

The reason for the advert…

Paying too much for tax preparation is a lot like…throwing money away.

Apple iPad Causes ASUS to Lower 3Q10 Netbook Shipments

The iPad has been very successful for Apple [AAPL] with 3,000,000 selling in the first 80 days of launch. This high number of sales has effected netbook sales.

Thanks to Apple, ASUS is having to lower it’s 3rd quarter 2010 shipments to 1.4 from 1.5 million the previous quarter. The 2nd quarter was also down from the 1st quarter which was 1.6 million. Normally, shipments would be starting to rise in time for Christmas, so it will be interesting to see what happens there. [Read more…]

7 Inch Apple iPad Could Arrive by Christmas

Rumours about Apple [AAPL] releasing a smaller iPad have been around before. Today they have resurfaced with details indicating that a 7 inch iPad could land around Christmas time this year.

Although this is a new iPad (if it arrives), we wouldn’t label it an iPad 2 in a way that our understanding of it shows that it’s just a smaller version of the current iPad that is available right now.

The information comes from Digitimes who is correct in some cases but also not correct in other cases. However, they are reporting that a 7 inch iPad from Apple is almost ready to be assembled over in Taiwan. [Read more…]

The iPhone version is a simple version that allows users to get on with reading without distraction. Colours can be optimised for day or night reading. A one-tap preview is also available allowing users to quickly see a theme before changing it. [Read more…]

iPad 2 and CDMA iPhone Spotted in iOS Code

We already know that Apple [AAPL] will be working on an iPad 2 as well as a CDMA iPhone. We have seen details before showing this and mixed with a bit of logic, it’s kind of obvious that they would be testing it.

However, we still like to see when more evidence is uncovered. The latest evidence confirms that new Apple devices are being tested out. The first bit of code looks to be related to a CDMA iPhone which is more than likely a Verizon iPhone. The next bit of code is related to an iPad 2.

The reasons for believing this is that the code found has a way for the devices to bypass the iTunes activation sequence. This is a common thing to happen when Apple tests out new phones and devices such as the Verizon [VZ] iPhone and iPad 2. [Read more…]

Kindle and iPad Screens Compared Under Microscope

Keith over at Bit101 got his hands on a USB microscope. After realising that holding it to a Nexus One, he could see the individual pixels, he decided to test what the Amazon Kindle screen looks like compared to the iPad screen.

This isn’t a scientific experiment to prove that one screen is better than another. Images were just captured out of curiosity to see what the two screens look like when compared to each other as well as a comparison to a printed newspaper. [Read more…]
