Photos of the Lego iPad

Yes, we've seen a Lego house, a Lego kitchen, and now the latest gadget obsession: the Lego iPad. Coming to you from a crafty builder, this Pad has the same dimensions as the real thing, and even sports some sweet icons on its app screen.

Reactions To the New Apple iPad

The first thing I thought when I heard the name of Apple's new release was, "iPad? Really?" And I certainly wasn't alone. While there was no audible snickering at the actual launch event (because the room was full of men, perhaps?), I heard plenty of hilarious reactions from friends, the Internet, and in-person at Sugar HQ.

5 Things the Apple iPad Doesn't Have, But Should

It seems to be Apple's MO to release a groundbreaking device, but to leave a few essentials off the roster right out of the gate. Unfortunately, the iPad is no exception.

During the hands-on portion of the Apple presentation yesterday, I got a chance to check out a few minutes of Assassins Creed on the iPad.

Apple iPad 2

Steve Jobs took the stage at today's Apple event to introduce the iPad 2. If 2010 was the year of the iPad, the next generation will take 2011 into tablet overdrive. As expected, the iPad 2 will be faster with the brand-new A5 chip, dual core processors, and a major update to the graphics — up to nine times faster.
