Waterwear is a plastic bag that you can put your iPad into allowing for heavy iPad use on the beach, in the kitchen, by the pool and even in the shower or bubble bath. Why is it cool? It allows for full iPad functionality in all elements and comes with a handy strap for those who can’t unhook from technology long enough to take a shower. I can see using this at the beach reading it but I can’t imagine walking in on someone sitting under the showerhead with their iPad in hand. I wonder if this new iPad condom will ship with a voucher for group therapy sessions for those who cannot put their device down. Enough…

That’s a lot of iPads in not a lot of days, kids. “Customers around the world are experiencing the magic of iPad, and seem to be loving it as much as we do,” said Big Stevey J of the achievement. “We appreciate their patience, and are working hard to build enough iPads for everyone.” iPad fever shows no signs of slowing down, and I’m sure this won’t be the last jaw-dropping sales figure we’re going to see. I really wish Jobs would stop calling the thing ‘magical’ – surely he’s aware at this point it’s one of the most snicker-worthy tech branding memes since Nintendo announced the Wii would be called the Wii….

Sounding more like a banned iPhone app than a tablet, the iPed is exactly what you’re probably thinking: a Chinese knockoff. Now available (!!!) in Shenzhen, China, the iPed is an Intel-driven, Android-based copycat packaged like an Apple product and, to be honest… it doesn’t look half bad. An Android device for ¥9,600 ($105)? Yes, please. However, this device isn’t without its shortcomings. From the looks of this video, it’s mighty, mighty slow. Though allegedly powered by an Intel chip, the device apparently only sports up to 16gigs of space, and runs on 128mb of RAM – in this technological…

I bet you’ve been wondering how to most stylishly deal with life’s big question: ‘But where do I put my iPad?’ Lucky for you, Mohan’s of New York has you covered, offering dapper power suits that conveniently stow your most magical possession. These are almost as sexy as the tablet itself. Okay, so ‘convenient’ is a matter of perspective, I guess. Have you ever tried hiding a large book under your jacket? It isn’t exactly a party. And an iPad sure is more fragile than a book. And it probably totally shows through the front of the suit a bit. And I bet it unevenly weights your jacket, leaving you to tug uncomfortably…

With over a million sold in the US alone, the iPad hits nine more countries later in the week. We’ve taken a look at some of the insanely interesting apps available for the new Apple product, and here’s our weekly run-down of five of the most interesting iPad apps around. 1. Pro Keys $0.99 Want to play a little piano? You can, with an iPad and rather lovely app, Pro Keys Piano. This seems to be a lot of fun and has many different modes – there’s a variety of pianos, including a grand and an electric, an organ and many more. There’s fifteen instruments in all. The two visible keyboards can be set differently,…

Well, that went well. Apparently the iPad is having a super launch day abroad, and perhaps nowhere better than in Japan, where they love their gadgets more than they love their families. Called a ‘frenzy’ by the Wall Street Journal, over a thousand people lined up, cash credit card in hand, to scoop up the all-American gadget. You’d think that of all nations, Japan would be able to crush Apple at its own game, at least locally. But apparently, that’s not the point. “Japanese products are very capable and powerful, but they don’t have the same charm as ones made by Apple,” said Kazuto Ishimura, a college…

For reasons unknown to me, the majority of the public is suddenly interested in books again, and Apple has finally revealed a way for emo kids the world over to publish their crappy poetry, ripe for the crying over, on the iPad. It’s totally cool that the iBookstore finally does for books what iTunes has always done for musicians, and the App Store for developers, but the process seems a little cumbersome. Simply register a valid US tax ID, convert your Word and InDesign files into ePub format, verify said ePub format files, and apply for an ISBN. If all that checks out, you’re on your way! Golly! Naturally,…

We’ve been casting our eyes around for cool iPhone apps this week, and have come up with some stunning apps, including some which vastly improve iPhone photography and a few others which just couldn’t help but catch our eye — including one superb music-creation solution. 1. Twitter for iPhone Free Formerly Tweetie 2 and now produced by Twitter itself, the official Twitter client is an essential tool for anyone who is into the 140-character idea sharing service. Twitter for iPhone will let you browse users, check trends and write tweets. You can download it here. This version (released last…

Imagine a city with stores that look like jail cells, dark alleys with no end in sight, graffiti written all over the walls, and thugs on every street corner. This city is the open web, containing Google, Yahoo, Craigslist, eBay, Paypal, and others. Now imagine a city with multi-million dollar mansions, paved streets with clean sidewalks, beautiful parks with freshly-cut grass, and happy people enjoying every second of life. This is Apple’s ecosystem, led by the iPhone, iPad, and iTunes. That’s a pretty drastic comparison, wouldn’t you say? Well, this is how Virginia Heffernan of The New York…

Dell has made its entry into the tablet market official today and we can now expect to see the 3G enabled smartphone and tablet in the UK as early as June and later this summer in the US. Dell formally announced the device today on their official company blog. Boasting a 5 inch touch screen, the Streak will be almost half the size of Apple’s 9.7 inch iPad. “I’ve been at Dell for 16 years, and I don’t think there’s ever been more buzz around a single Dell product than this,” wrote Lionel Menchaca, chief blogger for the Round Rock, Tex., company. “In my view, that’s for good reason. Hardware and design-wise,…
