[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
Apple’s new iPad tablet is essentially a larger form-factor iPhone 3GS or iPod touch G3 which leverages both the bigger, 1024×768 screen and an updated iPhone 3.2 OS with enhanced versions of existing apps like Mail and Calendar, new offerings like the iBooks e-book reader and store, low-cost 3G data plans, and a 1GHz Apple A4 processor.
Critics have called the iPad “just a big iPhone” and fail to see how it changes anything. Supporters have called the iPad “a big iPhone” and feel it changes everything. Which is it? Until it ships in March (for the Wi-Fi version) or April (for the 3G version) and TiPb gets to do a full-on review, we can’t say for sure. But we can go through and preview what we’ve seen so far and try to figure out just which direction Apple’s leaning. And we’re going to, after the break!
Join Rene, Dieter, The Cell Phone Junkie Mickey, and Chad for complete coverage of Apple’s iPad introduction, the highlights, what we didn’t get, and what it all means for the iPhone. Listen in!
TiPb will be providing full, live meta-blog coverage of Apple’s “Come see our latest creation” iTablet/iSlate/iPad event starting just before 10am PT, 1pm ET, 6pm GT right here on this very page. Give us a bookmark and come back and join us for the big event. We look forward to chatting with you!
And if you want to follow along with us, here are some the live coverage we’ll be locked on:
TiPb loves to give back to our readers with our give aways, so why not give away my personal favorite Twitter app in all of the Apple App Store, Twitbit!
Our good friends over at High Order Bit have been generous enough to share 10 FREE copies of their Twitbit application to give you! If you want in on the action, all you have to do is visit this thread in our iPhone forums and leave a single post telling High Order Bit what feature you would like to see added to the already feature filled Twitbit!
Contest starts now and ends Wednesday, January 27th at 12pm PT. And remember, promo codes require a US iTunes App Store account (Apple’s rule, not ours!) Good luck!
To celebrate their Canadian launch, the fine folks at Slacker are teaming up with TiPb to offer you 10 FREE Slacker Radio Plus subscriptions. Here’s the break-down:
- 3 first prizes — 1 year FREE Slacker Plus subscriptions
- 7 runner-up prizes — 3 month FREE Slacker Plus subscriptions
(And yes, it’s open to American Slacker listeners too. Love. Up.)
Here’s how to enter:
- Make sure you have a free Slacker basic account (they’ll need the account info to make the upgrade).
- Head on over to the TiPb iPhone Forums and tell us the name of a great song you’ve recently discovered.
- Contest starts now and ends Saturday, Jan. 23, 12pm PST.
You don’t have to have discovered the song on Slacker (but hey, let us know if you did). We need music recommendations, TiPb-verse!
And just to make you want to go enter now, we’re listing the Slacker Plus features again… after the break!
Join Rene, Chad, and The Cell Phone Junkie Mickey for Apple’s “Come see our latest creation” rumors, iPhone 4.0, iTablet, iTunes.com, AT&T’s new plans, Windows Mobile 7, and all the week’s news and opinions! Listen in!
Every week a few of us from team TiPb, bloggers and forum crew alike, will bring you our current favorite, funnest, most useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone (or iPod touch) related, they’re fair game.
So who’s on deck this week and what are our picks? Find out after the break!
Today’s TiPb Top 5 will be directed towards our iPhone and iPod touch wielding readers who love puzzle games where the goal is to take similarly colored shapes or objects and get them into a group, causing them to be removed from play. Just like our other TiPb top 5 must-have posts, all of these applications are available in the App Store. I’ve always been quite fond (understatement!) of these types of games, and while the variety is endless, the top 5 I currently enjoy can be found after the break!
