Ignoring the situation between Time Warner and content providers like Fox and Scripps, Cablevision has just released its Optimum iPad application free of charge.
The cable company’s iPad TV app takes a much more aggressive approach compared to its rival Time Warner. Cablevision is giving access to up to 300 live channels via its new application.
As promised, we continue to feature more iPad 2 accessories that could be very useful for you.
Several accessory makers have revamped their original iPad offerings to fit the new form factor of the much thinner iPad 2. The following accessories include a waterproof case and keyboard cases for the iPad2.
“I want my TWCable TV App” is the slogan that has captivated the industry, after Time Warner released their very innovative iPad TV application on March 15.
The FREE TWCable TV app has experienced over 300,000 downloads, turning the iPad TV app into an overnight sensation. But, a major barrier has surfaced in the form of a few content providers, which have simply highlighted their slow adoption of new technologies and distribution methods. Considering Time Warner’s new TV app capabilities and the freedom it brings to consumers inside the home, which side are you on?
The Major League Baseball (MLB) season officially kicks off today with 6 games.
Celebrating the start of the season, MLB has released a new update for their MLB At Bat application. The new update brings several features that you should take advantage of, especially the ability to watch all out-of-market games live on your iPad FREE of charge during the month of April.
Just when the iPad has turned into the TV gadget that many of us hope it would become, content providers have discovered a whole new way to charge everyone for live TV.
A few hours ago, Fox gave the cease-and-desist warning to Time Warner Cable via a letter, asking the service provider to remove Fox channels from the TWCable TV iPad app.
Luxury leather accessory designer, Sena Cases, just announced new high-end leather cases for the iPad 2. The new designs match perfectly the sleek profile of your new tablet while providing classic protection and functionality with several stylish designs.
Sena’s cases have been designed to maximize the slimmer form factor of the iPad 2, provide comfortable angles, integrated multi-position stand options to enhance viewing, typing, and the overall comfort when using your iPad.
Pixelocity’s Disc Drivin’ has been a popular asynchronous multi-player racing game for the iPhone and iPod touch for a while. It’s an addictive game that will have you taking turns with your friends to flick a small disc around a track to determine who crosses the finish line first. The game will make you sweat and force you to use awesome powers and avoid hazards on beautiful tracks with full 3D physics.
The game is now available with optimized graphics for the iPad.
We’ve seen several stylus products targeted for the tablet market segment. There are some interesting options out there, but all the ones I’ve seen missed the idea of actually leveraging the iPad as a white-board.
This is exactly what Kickstarter project, The Cosmonaut Stylus, was designed to achieve.
As previously mentioned, Amazon was indeed planning to formally announce their “media locker” service this week. The company has rushed their cloud based service offering in an effort to beat Apple and Google to the market.
The new service offers some very good features. However, Amazon has left out support for iOS devices, which is a huge chunk of the current mobile population and one that will grow without a doubt throughout 2011.
Apple’s Smart Covers have been a popular accessory since the iPad 2 was released two weeks ago. I’ve seen plenty of iPad 2 owners showing off how their Smart Covers automatically wake up the iPad 2 when opened, and put the iPad 2 to sleep when closed.
However, Apple’s covers do not protect the iPad 2 completely. The Smart Covers leave the entire back, edges and your iPad 2 mostly exposed. That is what XGear is attempting to fix with their new accessory.
The last 3 days have been full of rumors about the upcoming MobileMe media locker service from Apple. One of the biggest questions has been whether or not Apple will offer the service for free, or charge $20 per year as rumored.
While Apple keeps working on their big announcement, Amazon and Google have been working relentlessly to launch their very own cloud-based solutions.
Ever since the iPhone was released, Apple has followed a pattern of launching new iOS releases right before a new iPhone hardware update becomes available.
With all the rumors about an upcoming MobileMe service, and Apple’s signs to leverage its huge North Carolina data center, many of us in the tech blog world thought that iOS 5 details would be revealed in April. However, TechCrunch reports that iOS 5 will probably be released in the fall.
Looking for a way to broaden your photographic horizons with your DSLR camera? Some of our readers have asked us about options to get pictures and videos onto the first-generation iPad and iPad 2 for quick viewing and editing.
We’ve written about several options to help you transfer photos between your iPad and your DSLR camera, as well as options for previewing and editing your images. Another option is MIC Gadget’s new CompactFlash (CF) adapter, which gives iPad and iPad 2 owners additional card format support.
When the iPad 2 was released the dual-core A5 chip and the 9x faster graphics became instant hits with game developers. Why? The processing power and graphics simply make the game rendering techniques more powerful, and the gyroscope will add much more precision to all sorts of games.
Firemint has certainly taken advantage of the new iPad 2. The company has confirmed an upcoming update to Real Racing 2 HD that will support full 1080p HD video output on the iPad 2.
A week ago, Apple sent an email to its suppliers, to tell them that the company would not be selling MobileMe subscriptions anymore.
The turn of events clearly signaled that Apple is about to release a major update of its MobileMe service, to include new capabilities such as online storage. Several reports have claimed the new MobileMe would be free, however a report by The Music Void seems to indicate the locker service would cost around $20 per year.
