Old school Apple fans will remember the Apple Newton: Apple’s way-before-its-time PDA with some revolutionary features that would have taken the business world by storm had portable computing power not held it back.
One of its most-loved features was the ability to convert handwritten notes into text and to turn your squiggly circles, squares and rectangles into the perfect versions you wish you could draw. The text-conversion process was never completely accurate, resulting in many jokes at the Newton’s expense. The release of PhatPad from Phatware however, may help Apple achieve some feeling of vindication. Be sure to check out the video after the break.
Since I purchased Skyfire for my iPhone 4 a couple of months ago, I’ve been longing for an iPad version. Using nothing short of transcoding wizardry, Skyfire is an iOS browser that enables you to play Flash videos on your iPhone on both WiFi and 3G that will soon come to your iPad.

Verizon has just announced that it will provide live TV to its FiOS customers on their iPads. Today, the company demonstrated an application running on an iPad with a channel selection that mirrors the lineup available to any FiOS subscriber on their televisions.
Many folks will consider the latest update to Kindle for iPad and iPhone to be a big yawn but I’m quite excited by it, for a couple of reasons.
When Stevie J. unveiled the iBooks application for iPad, I was quite excited. Not just because I could buy and read books from the iBookStore (though, nice) but because I could transfer any ePub-formatted book or document to my iPad and read it in the iBooks app. This was exciting to me partly because I’m writing an eBook for distribution on many eReader platforms (including the iPad) and was glad for the ability to test pilot the document, but also because I just enjoy that silly “page flipping” animation.
