From Appleinsider . Apple on Tuesday sent out official invitations for a media event to be held next Wednesday, March 7, in San Francisco where it is expected to introduce its next-generation iPad. The March 7 event will be held at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Calif., the same place the last two iPad unveilings have been held. The invitation features a finger pushing down on an iOS calendar icon with March 7 as the date. "We have something you really have to see. And touch," the invitation reads. The inclusion that people will "have to see" the new device is likely a reference to the high-resolution Retina Display that Apple is expected to add to its next-generation iPad. Rumors have suggested the display will have a resolution of 2,048 by 1,536 pixels, which would be twice the resolution of the 1,024-by-768 screen found on the iPad 2. In fact, the invitation itself could even be a pic...

This is an interesting design project called the TouchFire. From the website . TouchFire puts the "touch" back into typing on an iPad. You can now feel where the keys are and rest your fingers on the home row, so you can type as fast and accurately as you can on a laptop. You can even type without looking at the screen. TouchFire cushions your fingers as you type, something both touch-typists and two-finger typists really appreciate. Typing on an iPad is no longer a pain! TouchFire is ultra-thin and weighs less than an ounce. It attaches to the inside of the iPad cover and folds with the cover, so you can always keep TouchFire with your iPad without it getting in the way.

I guess anything that helps pay for the iPad. The First iPad Street Musician? from Alex Shpil on Vimeo .

Blackberry's answer to the Apple iPad. Wifi only for now. Now 3G or 4G. Dual HD camera, 1024-by-600-pixel display and 7 inch screen.

I wish I thought of that!

Notice anything about the Apple iPad commercial? No mention of specs, just what it can do for you. That's what advertising should be.

The iPad is a magical device!

New ad from Apple for the iPad. Compare this to the old "What is Newton?" ad.

Some people will do anything to get attention.

100 year old woman with impaired vision is thrilled with her new toy. This is what makes the iPad great, it's so simple to use that even people who've never used a computer in their life and use it right away.

Classic example of someone with too much money or shit for brains.

I found a video of the unboxing of an Apple iPad that was sent to Andy Ihnatko for review. Looks great! And yes, it's just an unboxing. The guy didn't even turn it on. And here's an interview of Steve Jobs on today's issue of Time Magazine .

With the coming of the iPad, magazines have been conceptualizing on how to take advantage of the technology. Below are samples of concepts of motion magazines created by Alexx Henry Photography for Viv magazines. VIV Mag Interactive Feature Spread - iPad Demo from Alexx Henry on Vimeo . Here is a video on how it was made and other concepts. VIV Mag Featurette: A Digital Magazine Motion Cover and Feature for the iPad from Alexx Henry on Vimeo .

Looks like this is the future of what we'll see in e-books coming to the iPad.

I've been reading a lot of comments about the Apple iPad and I would say 90% of the comments are negative. Here's the most common complaints. 1. No Flash. 2. No multi-tasking 3. No camera 4. Tied to AT&T 5. Oversized iPhone 6. iPhone OS? It's funny how the Internet dismisses a product that hasn't even come out yet. And they they are already predicting it to fail. Sound like when the iPhone first came out. Sure, there is no guarantee the iPad will sell. Yes, a netbook may be better since it is a full computer. But have you actually used a netbook? It's small, but the performance is horrible for a full computer. If you are using a netbook for its intended purpose of e-mail, web browsing, chat, photo and video. Then yes, the netbook is more capable than the iPad since it can do Flash, video chat, etc. But the netbook is a horrible e-book reader. Who wants to read the New York Times on a netbook? I can barely read the article. Not to mention you can...

Just saw this hands on video of the iPad. Using it reminds me of the data pad used on Star Trek.

After looking at the demo and specs of the new Apple iPad. This is my take on it. It's basically a big iPod Touch. But it's an iPod Touch with productivity apps like iWork designed specifically for the Apple iPad. It runs all your standard iPhone and iPod Touch apps from the app store. Games will be a big thing on this as it's like a huge kick-ass Nintendo DS. Except for the controls. The accelerometer will have you control it as you would on the iPhone. I used an iPod Touch and use the Calendar, Mail and Address Book a lot. It's certainly nice that the iPad has those as well. The iBook Store is certainly a good feature to have. The strength of the Apple mobile devices doesn't come from the device itself, but from the App Store. If you think about it, a lot of other devices has more features and are cheaper than the iPod or iPhone. But how come Apple devices outsells the competition? It's because of the App Store.
