Gizmodo’s 8 great iPad wallpapers

iPad background.Apple product launches are always a little bittersweet. The products are usually great, and if not they’re called Apple TV. But along with the products you have to put up with Apple fanatics talking about how this thing you don’t have will revolutionize the world. To some extent I believe the hype but there is that intense feeling that it’s a bunch of bullshit. Ray Bradbury gets along just fine without technology, doesn’t he?

While I’m not ready to write off technology, I do like to keep things in perspective with little pranks like this. Gizmodo has 8 great false backgrounds for your crazy friends’ iPads. Drop one of these bad boys on that pristine new tablet and watch the horror cross the owner’s face when it lights up.

Steve Jobs shows up for estimated 700,000 iPad day one

Steve Jobs iPad.It was a big day for Apple. It was a big day for fanboys (and fangirls). It was a big day for publishers. Alright, it was a big day for just about everyone. Yes, even you haters, because like it or not the iPad is here and it’s a pretty big deal. It’s the first ultra-portable device that’s capable of handling all of your day to day tasks, be it business or entertainment.

The iPad is such a big release that Steve Jobs himself showed up at the Palo Alto location to survey the damage for just under an hour. Analysts are setting estimates for day one sales around 700,000 units, a huge chunk of the supposed couple million Kindles in the wild. By comparison, the iPhone sold just 270,000 units when it launched.

The iPad does have a leg up in that it has access to the iPhone OS App Store. Along with iPhone apps, the iPad will have its own set of apps designed to take advantage of a larger screen size.
