Boooo.....Apple has 3G through AT&T




As i always tell my friends about the iPhone, Its like driving a Mercedez SLK on a freakin dirt track...Yes that's analogous to the iPad using AT&T's 3G network and WiFi hot spots.
But the good thing- No Contract...
big news! No frickin’ contract. Cancel anytime.
I hope Verizon pitches in soon but that's a rarity.
International contracts will be available in June.
Sorry, rest of the world (including Mac fanatics back in INDIA)!
As always the USA gets it first. Hahah
Cheers..

The iPad iBooks App uses free, open-source ePub format


Oh, suck it, Amazon.

In demonstrating the iPad’s new slick iBooks e-book reading application, it was explicitly stated that the iPad uses the free, open e-book standard, ePub format.

This is a surprisingly rare but welcome move for Apple in embracing a non-proprietary media format.

ePub doesn’t mean no DRM, but it does mean you’ll be able, if only through third party Apps, to transfer your own books from other devices.

Yippy...Thats a super smart move by apple (Like always)... :-)

Jeff Bezos has got to be nursing a migraine right now. lolzz..
