Covering the iPad
I have been covering quite a lot lately Apple’s long-expected tablet, the iPad, so I’ve selected a few highlights of my reports from PCWorld below:
iPad Expected to Beat iPhone’s First 3-Month Sales
Apple could sell more iPads in the first three months of availability than it sold original iPhones in the same period, according to sources quoted by the Wall Street Journal. “Hundreds of thousands” of units have already been pre-ordered, says the report, with strong demand expected at launch.
iPad Buyer be Aware: $99 Replacement if Battery Dies
Just like most Apple products, the iPad will have an enclosed battery, but Apple says it will replace it with an as-new iPad for $99 when the charge won’t last as long — if the device has no other damage.
Why the iPad Will be the E-books Battle Arena
Barnes & Noble says it will launch an iPad version of its eReader app, in anticipation of the release of Apple’s device on April 3. The app will compete with Apple’s own iBook store for e-books, and Amazon could jump on board any time now.
