iPad Apps are now live at the iTune App Store. Wow, it’s magical and revolutionary! Just kidding, just kidding. Really, Apple could’ve just held off until people actually have the iPad, but there’s no harm done when people can browse through hundreds of new iPad apps, of which is 11 pages worth, right? Be prepared with your credit card, because buying the iPad isn’t the only thing, you’ll have to cough up some extra dough since iPad apps are closer to real desktop ones, which is a win/win and a lose/lose of sorts. Well-recognized apps like Brushes, Twitteriffic, and the Wall Street Journal are all sitting there waiting to be bought. Go check it out at the source link, you’ll like it.

There’s no doubt that the first early review units of the Apple iPad where sent to traditional publications (read: newspapers and old guys) where they received some pretty good praise, starting with Walt Mossberg at the Wall Street Journal and David Pogue at the New York Times. These reviewers and many more mainly praised the long battery life of the iPad, the impressive speed, and vibrant touchscreen.
On April 3rd, 2010 the computing world will change forever, whether the iPad is successful or not. Meaning that if you’re a geek, you’re immediately given the question: will you buy an iPad?

One thing that is a wonderful addition to Android devices is the ability to make something impossible, possible. For example, you might be stuck with Android 2.0.1 on your Droid while reading this, but it doesn’t mean you have to have Android 2.0.1 running on your Droid while waiting for the OTA to spread across the country. Due to some nice work by the all-too-cheerful Greg Kumparak, over at MobileCrunch, this happy-go-lucky gadget blogger will show you how to update your Droid without any hacking, or modding. Just pure Android 2.1 with multitouch. Hit up the source link, dudes.
Finally. For you DROID owners right now this is the time to savor every reason why you bought your DROID. Starting today, over-the-air updates that bring Android 2.1 instead of Android 2.0.1 are being served to Verizon Droid owners nationwide. Once your handset downloads the update in the background, you should receive a notification, or you could just go for the manual update option in Settings > About phone. And don’t freak out if you still don’t get it; this sort of update is rolled out gradually. We know, it sucks, but in the end it’s worth it. Here’s the changelog, after the “read more” link.
