50 Million iPads to sell a Year. Yeah or No?

So, this guy Jeff said 50 million iPads will sell a year. Yeah, 50 million sounds like Jeff Matthews (a guy at RAM partners) thinks Apple is trying to make everything seem amazing. I mean, 50 million is really a lot. Too much. But, then I looked at how many iPads are selling and thought about it. Apple sold  1 million units really fast when it came out. Then it hit the 3 million sales just as fast. right this minute 4 million iPads have sold. Apple thinks 12 million are gonna sell by the end of this year (hello Christmas [ ... ]

Montessori Crosswords App Review

When we were choosing the person from the iPad Kids Team, we all knew who it was going to be. ME! This decision was so easy because I used to go to the Montessori School. Well, back to the app, this app is very simple and easy, i would say its for toddlers around the age of 4-5. You can pick the different level of crossword you want to play, 1 word. 2 words, or 3 words. You may also pick the Movable alphabet button. We all know that little kids are a wee bit clumsy, so they might [ ... ]

Dragon says: no text and drive- speak instead.

Dragon Dictation is an app for FREE you can get and instead of typing it records your message and TYPES it for you. They said it is 5x faster than typing. And safer than texting while driving (if ur a teen or college iPad Kid who has a driver’s license) so be a Dragon and save ur life. Did we mention FREE? With Dragon Dictation you can also dictate status updates directly to your Social Networking applications (Facebook and Twitter) or send notes and reminders to yourself….all using your voice.  So when you’re on-the-go, stop typing [ ... ]

Make ur own funky stylus for iPad

We think this guy Collin is brilliant! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YE8rGuLCtU&feature=player_embedded source/ credit: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010… Fingertip input is great for most touchscreen usage like typing, web-browsing – all sorts of virtual button-pushing tasks. But for many people, drawing remains an activity best approached with a pen, pencil, brush, etc. With a bit of conductive foam and wire, it’s surprisingly easy to make your own conductive stylus, suitable for use with iPhone, iPad and similar conductive touchscreen devices – and you’ll likely find it a lot more precise compared to regular fingertip input.

Anyone know how to do that yet?
