'iPad App Wish List for a Server Admin' ¬
2010-01-27
Me, as a Mac OS X Server admin, regarding the iPad:
It’s sexy. It has the potential. It certainly has the screen resolution and performance to take on such tasks. I’ll even guarantee that plenty of third-party tools will be developed for server admins using the iPad, but I hope Apple sees the light and brings over their own admin tools as well.
iPad Camera Connection Kit ¬
2010-01-27
This make it far more usable as one’s only computer:
The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. The Camera Connector lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card.

Apple iPad ¬
2010-01-27
It’s for real. Two models: just WiFi or WiFi & 3G. 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB storage. $499-$699 (WiFi) or $629-$829 (WiFi & 3G). Compatible with existing iPhone apps (small or stretched; either way it looks a bit odd).
Other than the new iBookstore and the fact that the iWork apps have been rewritten for it ($9.99 apiece), the biggest news to me is:
- The new, no-contract 3G pricing: $14.99/mo for 250MB or $29.99 for unlimited data. Sign up right from the iPad. Better yet: it’s unlocked.
- It’s running a 1GHz Apple A4 processor. Looks like their purchase of PA Semi payed off.

WooRank ¬
2010-01-27
A brand spankin’ new website analysis tool aimed at improving SEO, but it’s already proven itself useful for fixing a few minor issues on a number of my sites. It certainly doesn’t cover everything, but it’s clean, concise, and covers a very good base.
Update: Whatever they’re using to render screenshots of sites can’t grasp HTML5.

SublimeVideo ¬
2010-01-26
A slick new, free HTML5 video player coming soon. Featuring:
- no browser plugin, no Flash dependencies
- jump anywhere in the video and it’ll start buffering from that point
It currently supports Safari 4.0.4+, Chrome 4.0+, and IE with Chrome Frame (I guess that counts) and also fixes the HTML5 video auto-buffer issue. Firefox support still pending.

Lessons Learned from the eMate ¬
2010-01-26
Scott Andress on the eMate and tomorrow’s rumored Apple tablet:
The industrial design of eMate was like nothing seen before from Apple, or any other computer company for that matter. And it was the testbed for many key design concepts.
In fact, the eMate really started to get the Newton platform some good momentum before the plug was pulled.
