So the big question going through every iPad owners mind right now is do I need unlimited internet blackberry hdw18975001 leather horiz holster black on my iPad or is 2GB enough? If you have not purchased your iPad by midnight on June 6th than you will have the option of either the 200MB data plan for $14.99 a month or the 2GB data plan for $25.00 a month, but for iPad owners who purchased before June 6th you also have the option of unlimited internet for $29.99 a month provided that you lock that in by midnight on June 6th and you must maintain the unlimited plan in order to remain eligible.
Gone is the flexibility that AT&T touted at the iPad’s debut allowing us to go from unlimited, 25oMB or no internet at all month to month at will, with no contracts. So what to do? Do you need unlimited internet or will 2GB suffice? For many iPad users it’s too soon to tell. If you’ve only had your iPad a few days or weeks do you have a full grasp on just how much internet you’ll average per month? Probably not.
2GB is actually quite a bit of data for example I’m a very heavy data user on my iPhone and use approximately 500MB a month and after comparing with my friends I was the heaviest iPhone data user by a lot. So blackberry hdw18975001 leather horiz holster black I think the new data plans will be good for many users. That is, until you start watching video.
According to AT&T 2GB of data will get you the following:
Sending/receiving 10,000 one-page text emails and 1,500 one-page emails with an attachment, viewing 4,000 Web pages, uploading/downloading 500 photos to social media sites, and (only)Â 200 minutes of standard-quality video watching a month
Gizmodo did some real life testing and came up with :
YouTube: When we watched a , 2MB was used; so if 2GB is 2048MB, one could theoretically watch 17 hours of programming blackberry hdw18975001 leather horiz holster black on YouTube before using up all your bandwidth for the month. This assumes you do NOTHING else on your iPad that eats up bandwidth.
Netflix: When we watched an episode of Netflix () running 21:54, 55MB of bandwidth was used; so, let’s say 22min is 55MB, then Netflix consumes 2.5MB for every minute of streaming video watched. Therefore:
** In total, you could watch 13.65 hours of programming on before using up all your bandwidth. This assumes you do nothing else on your iPad that month to eat up your bandwidth.  (And remember: the average American per month alone.)
ABC App: We watched an episode of Better Off Ted, running 25:41 with ads used 97MB. For simplicity’s sake, let’s average it out to 26min and 100MB. That’s ~4MB/minute.
** In total, you could watch 10.24 hours of programming on ABC Streaming App before using up all your bandwidth. Again, this assumes you do nothing else on your iPad that month.
I see the iPad as a media consumption device. Keyword: consumption. And if you also plan on using the iPad to watch videos than I suggest you get on the unlimited plan now while it’s still available. The good news is after a few months if you don’t feel like the extra $5 a month for unlimited is worth it you can always downgrade to the 2GB plan. But if you’re not on the unlimited plan in time you’ll miss out for good.

Sometimes I think that AT&T is purposefully trying to disappoint all of their subscribers and send us running into Verizon’s welcoming arms. Like that person you used to date that didn’t have the heart to break up with you, so they just treated you really badly until you finally broke up with them. You know the one. And today’s data plan announcements only confirm my suspicions.
Up until now iPhone and iPad 3G users have basked in the warm glow of unlimited data, meaning endless hours of Pandora radio, Â Netflix movies, stalking that Ex’s Facebook page (c’mon, you know the one). But it’s all coming to an end. Pretty soon, we’ll be sounding just like our grandparents anytime we take them to Starbucks, “$4.00 for a cup of coffee! In my day we paid 10 cents for a coffee!”. Only we’ll be saying “Remember when we used to have unlimited internet. Those were the days.”
So here’s what you need to know:
New plans: The new plans apply to both the iPad and the iPhone and you will have two options. A $15 a month plan that includes 200MB of data usage each month or a $25 plan that includes 2GB a month. Tethering is now available for the iPhone with an additional $20 a month charge on top of your monthly data charge.
iPad Users: It’s not too late. If you sign up for the existing unlimited plan on your iPads before June 7th and then you do not change your plan and allow it to keep automatically renewing than you will continue to have an unlimited plan. So, if you held out the extra month and paid the additional cost for a 3G iPad specifically because of the unlimited plan (like me) than get on it and stay on it because after June 7th it is no more. Does it feel like a bit of a bait and switch? Yeah? That’s because it is. One of the really exciting things about the iPad 3G was the flexibility of the plans. You could come and go from no data plan, to 250MB incase cl59672 white slider case iphone 4 to unlimited as needed. And now just two months after the iPad’s debut that flexibility has been taken away. If you want the iPad’s unlimited plan, speak now or forever hold your peace.
iPhone users: If you are already an AT&T user (iPhone or otherwise) you will still be on the unlimited plan for $30 a month (phew!) and you can get a new phone and extend your contract with AT&T and stay on the unlimited plan. But you will not be able to add tethering to your iPhone. Users coming over to AT&T after June 7th will be coming onto the new plans.

After just nine days Wired Magazine for the iPad has already sold over 79,000 copies. That’s pretty impressive, and incase cl55294 canvas sleeve mbp 13 black to put it in perspective their newsstand sales average around 80,000 per month. While that number does not include subscription sales, this is still quite a coup for iPad magazines.
It will be interesting to see what will happen in coming months. We might see that sales were high for Wired on the iPad because of the newness and excitement and will drop off in the coming months. Or we might see Wired (and parent company Conde Nast) lower their pricing and continue to improve their offering.
What do you think? Would you rather get Wired on the iPad or print? What about other publications you read? I renewed my MacWorld subscription on my iPad through Zinio rather than the print edition. I really enjoy reading MacWorld and the other magazines I’ve subscribed to on the iPad. I love the interface and I love that all my magazines are with me at all times. But I have to admit I miss a few things about actual print magazines. I can’t dog ear a page to remind me to come back to it. I can’t hand the magazine over to a friend when I’m done with it. I can’t leave a copy on my coffee table for others to look through. If you’ve ever been to my house you know I like to leave a copy of Scientific America out on the coffee table to impress you.

The yesterday about the effect that our 24/7 access to information through email, phone calls, texts, Twitters and the web via our gadgets is overloading our brains.
“While many people say multitasking makes them more productive, research shows otherwise. Heavy multitaskers actually have more trouble focusing and shutting out irrelevant information, scientists say, and they experience more stress.”
At least I think it was a great article, I started to read it and then an email came in that I had to read, which reminded me I needed to return a phone call and then my dog was being extra cute so I had to take a picture and post it to my Facebook page, then it was time to harvest my We Rule crops, which of course made me hungry so I headed over to Yelp to figure out where to go for lunch and then the guy in the car behind me kept honking because the light was green and . . . what were we talking about?

With Federer battling it out at the French Open and the bookmark php Lakers and the Celtics meeting up in the NBA playoffs it’s understanding that you might have overlooked this incredible competition, but the title of Worldest Fastest iPad Typer has been bestowed upon 28 year old Joseph Grech.
The Guinness World Records team showed up to the iPad’s debut at an Apple store in the UK where Grech was in line at 3am looking forward to being one of the first to get an iPad. Over 30 people competed with the goal of typing the alphabet from A-Z in the fastest time and Grech clocked 6.61 seconds barely beating out the second fastest time of 6.7 seconds.
Guinness World Records spokesman said,
“The new Apple iPad is such an iconic and exciting device. Today it seems only fitting that arguably the biggest launch in Apple’s long and distinguished history is also the backdrop to its iPad being involved in a Guinness World Record breaker attempt.”
The good people of Guinness were also on hand to catch a photograph of the world’s tallest married couple purchasing their iPads. Thank God that moment did not go undocumented.
: Can you fly this plane, and land it?
: Surely you can’t be serious.

“Ladies and gentleman you are now free to use approved electronic devices” are the sweetest words you can hear on an blackberry hdw18965001 leather horiz holster black airplane. That’s when you can pull out your iPad. But what if you don’t have an iPad? Then you’re left staring enviously at the passengers that do.
But it seems that Jetstar, a subsidiary of Qantas, has a solution in iPads for rent on every flight. Â They will begin a trial program later this month with iPad’s available pre-loaded with movies, music, TV shows, games and books for $10.
“We are really excited to commence blackberry hdw18965001 leather horiz holster black trialing the iPads, as we’re always looking for ways to enhance our customer’s Jetstar experience. Given the demand for the iPad so far, I anticipate it will have strong appeal amongst our passengers,” said Jetstar CEO Bruce Buchanan as reported by.
And here’s the clincher they will even allow for the iPad to be used during take-off and landing, when other electronic devices have to be shut off. I think this will prove to be a popular program for sure. Not only will it provide great entertainment to passengers, but I foresee it leading to more iPad sales. If you can put an iPad in someone’s hands for a 2 hour flight you’ll likely have a future iPad customer. I’m sure many of you have experienced putting an iPad into the hands of a non-believer only to have to pry it out of their hands an hour later.
So would you like to see iPads making an appearance on your future flights?
