More details: blog.the-ebook-reader.com This video shows the new Kindle Cloud Reader in action on the Apple iPad 2. The Kindle Cloud Reader is an HTML5 application that uses a web browser to display Kindle ebooks. This is a workaround for Amazon so they can still offer shopping on the iPad from within the app without paying Apple 30% or forcing customers to shop from the Safari web browser instead.

One of the best (if not THE best) features of the new Apple TV actually involves the iPad (or iPhone and iPod Touch). Apple TV can utilize the iPad as a remote. Using the Remote app on the iPad I can pull content (movies, music, podcasts, etc.) from my iMac in my living room and stream it via WiFi to the new Apple TV and display it on my TV. Very cool!
Once considered mainly a recreational/entertainment tool, tablets are quickly making their way into the business world as more and more industries are finding ways to put the devices to use. Whether it’s a car salesman looking to accelerate the sales process before a buyer gets cold feet, or a contractor accessing material costs right from the job site, tablets are starting to make an impact. The Apple iPad has led the way in terms of sales, but competitors aren’t standing idly by. Recently, Robert Scoble reviewed the new Motorola Xoom, scheduled for release tomorrow, and compared it side-by-side to the iPad.

Gmail is the full version and Google Maps has turn-by-turn navigation, which it doesn’t have on the iOS devices — not yet, at least.” Calendaring and contacts through Google also function better on the Xoom, and the screen resolution is superior, according to Scoble. It’s not all bad news for the iPad, however, as Apple still has a big advantage in one area. “Apple is still winning on apps,” says Scoble, “and that’s going to be a huge problem this year for the Android devices.” Additionally, Apple will undoubtedly be addressing concerns and adding features with the much anticipated release …
In this video we talk about the Apple iPad versus the Novation Launchpad versus the Monome – in a topic as old fashioned as 16 step sequencing. The video is not so much about the sequencing as such, but about the different form factors, the haptic and the used software of the three candidates in the comparison. My favorite is the iPad for now, as it offers a minimal footprint with maximum possibilities. From a “touch” perspective and coolness, the monome wins, whereas the Launchpad gains momentum with its budget friendly approach. Go make some music! modul8or
