Vlogging iMovie on the iPad 2
Recently I posted my thoughts on iMovie on the iPad 2. I an exercise of complete redundancy, here’s are those same thoughts (more or less) in video form.

Flip Mino HD vs Kodak Zi8 and Apple iPad, iPhoto and iMovie
Recently in conversation, the topic of using the Flip HD and the Kodak Zi8 mini-camcorders came up, and specifically, how well do they work with Apple products, like iMovie. As it happens, I own both the Flip and the Kodak camera, so I put down a few thoughts on them. For anyone who might find … Read more
FaceTime for Mac Stays Resident
Forget all the iLife ’11, OSX 10.7 Lion and MacBook Air at the Apple Event today, the really fun announcement was FaceTime for Mac. I’ve been playing with it all afternoon, and there are a couple interesting things about it that aren’t immediately obvious. For starters, video quality is good (with a caveat), both from … Read more
The iPhone 4 Just Needs One Thing…
I just couldn’t afford to wait 4 weeks for my damn free bumper. The new smaller form factor caused the phone to slip out of my holster today. Can you imagine if I’d lost the phone? It’s not worth risking it, so I picked up one of the cheapest I could find at Best Buy … Read more
iPhone 4 and bumpers
Back on July 17th, I ordered an iPhone 4. I knew about the so-called antenna-gate problem, and I waited until Uncle Steve gave the word for free iPhone bumpers/cases to mitigate the problem.

Adam Smith’s … Read more

What’s on My iPad – Page 1
So it’s been nearly a month or so since the iPad hit the streets in the US and 48 days since I got mine. In that time, it has become an indispensable item in my hi-tech arsenal. With the iPad reaching far-off lands and foreign shores today, it’s time for the first in a series … Read more
iPad Notes and Review
I promised my incoherent thoughts on the iPad after days of use and here they are… in no particular order. iPad notes Carrying it is awkward. There’s just no good way to carry the iPad by itself. You’d think it would be natural to carry it like a textbook, but it isn’t. No matter which … Read more
I’ve got an iPad
I’d written up this long, convoluted post about my travails trying to get an iPad, but by the time I’ve gotten around to posting it… I finally got an iPad. I guess I’ll recount the story anyway. Let’s rewind to Saturday, April 3rd, the very first day of iPad sales. As you may recall, it … Read more
