ILife is now available for the iPad
Information from Apple.com
With iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand for iPad, you can do all the fun, creative things you love to do. Like making movies, making music, or making your photos look their best.
Apps are available for download to the iPad for $4.99 each.
iPhoto
You can quickly organize and
c ompare photos. Brush adjustments onto an image with your finger. Apply professional-quality effects in a single tap. And create beautiful photo journals to share with family and friends. It's creative control like you've never experienced before.
iMovie
With iMovie,
maki ng HD trailers and movies is fast and fun - and you can do it all with your fingers. Follow a storyboard to create a thrilling trailer. Or shoot 1080p HD right from your iPad and turn that footage into a mini feature film. Choose from a selection of Hollywood-style themes and templates. Then edit your clips and fine-tune your soundtrack on location.
GarageBand
Turn your iPad into an electric
g uitar. Or a grand piano. Or even an acoustic drum kit. GarageBand lets you choose from a large collection of instruments that sound just like their real counterparts - but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument. A powerful eight-track recording studio lets you lay down tracks whenever inspiration strikes. And Jam Session lets you and up to three friends play and record together like a real band.

iPad in the News
Since the release of the iPad (Third Generation), a number of issues have surfaced
Heat:
The following is a report from Consumer's Report:
The new iPad can run significantly hotter than the earlier iPad 2 model when running an action game, Consumer Reports testers have found.
Using a thermal imaging camera, Consumer Reports engineers recorded temperatures as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit on the front and rear of the new iPad while playing Infinity Blade II.
Our tests follow numerous complaints now cropping up about how hot the new iPad can get while doing processor-intensive tasks, such as gaming or downloads.
We ran our test while the new iPad was propped on the iPad Smart Cover, plugged in, and after it had run Infinity Blade II uninterrupted for about 45 minutes. The device's 4G connection was not turned on, though its Wi-fi link was. The ambient room temperature was about 72 degrees. (Apple recommends not using the iPad in environments over 95 degrees.)
We also ran the test with the new iPad unplugged. Then we compared the temperature of the new iPad to that of the iPad 2 using the same tests.
When unplugged, the back of the new iPad reached temperatures as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit. It was only when plugged in that it hit 116 degrees. The hottest areas weren't evenly distributed throughout the iPad's back, but were concentrated near one corner of the display as shown in the images taken from the rear of the device above.
So, when plugged in, the back of the new iPad became as much as 12 degrees hotter than the iPad 2 did in the same tests; while unplugged the difference was 13 degrees.
During our tests, I held the new iPad in my hands. When it was at its hottest, it felt very warm but not especially uncomfortable if held for a brief period.
We also noticed that the new iPad wasn't charging while the game was running and it was plugged in. In fact, the battery continued to drain. It charged normally, however, when we weren't running a game. | | |

Should you pay more for the iPad with 3G?
The answer depends on whether you require Internet access wherever you take your iPad. (Bear in mind, AT&T is the only 3G provider the iPad 3G works with in the U.S.; you could replace the tablet's SIM card with one for T-Mobile's service, but that only gets you T-Mobile's slower EDGE network. And AT&T's 3G service can be uneven, especially in places like New York City and San Francisco, where iPhone users have complained about AT&T's overtaxed network.)
In addition to paying more for the iPad 3G, you also have to pay for that data you'll be using. AT&T charges $14.99 per month for 250MB of data or $29.99 for unlimited access. This is charged to an assigned credit card on a monthly basis, and there's no contract or early termination fee. The plan can be enabled or disabled directly from the iPad itself, and you can stop the service without penalty. (Of course, 3G access is the reason most iPad 3G buyers waited for this particular model in the first place.)

The New Apple iPad
Reviewed by CNET
The good: Apple's new iPad includes a stunning new screen, matched by a quad-core graphic processor and the world's largest app and media store to feed it content. There's a proper 5-megapixel rear camera now, with 1080p recording quality. Optional 4G data from AT&T and Verizon afford an uncompromising mobile experience.
The bad: The new iPad is slightly heavier than last year's model; apps and movies optimized for the screen might take up more space; and ports for HDMI, USB, and SD require adapters.
The bottom line: With a host of improvements--faster graphics, 4G wireless options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen--the latest iPad cements its position at the head of the tablet pack.

Ask the Professor - Cecile Bendavid | | Professor of Computer Science - California State University Northridge and Director of New Business Development for CEO Computers.
Q. Should you buy the new iPad if you already own an iPad?
A. If you purchased the original iPad two years ago and have extra money, you might consider purchasing the new iPad. The new unit is slightly bigger than the iPad 2: the new iPad is smaller and lighter than the original iPad.
You'll appreciate the increased speed, the wonderful screen and the presence of cameras.
If you have an iPad 2, it's a little harder to justify paying for the latest model now, much as you might want to. The new screen is spectacular, and 4G and the improved cameras are welcome upgrades. But you would have purchased that iPad 2 much more recently and it may be difficult to plunk down extra cash this soon, unless you have a family member who can inherit your current model.
Q. What if I am new to iPads.
A. If you are new to tablets, there's no better choice on the market than an iPad, provided price isn't an issue and you don't want a tablet that would fit in your pocket or purse, such as the $199 Amazon Kindle Fire.
This newesletter has several articles about the new iPad - read them and decide what is best for you. |
