Fujitsu, one of Japan’s largest computer hardware and IT services providers, could sue Apple over the iPad name. Back in 2002, the Japanese company launched a Windows CE.NET 5.0 “handheld computing device for wireless networking in a retail environment” in the US, and decided to name it iPad. In 2003, Fujitsu applied for trademarking the iPad name (see the application here ), but its request was suspended by the US Patent and Trademark Office, because there was yet another company that filed for the same trademark before (in 2000).

Yesterday for 45 minutes the internet went silent while “everyone” watched Steve Jobs present the iPad. I must say I was awed by it but then I didn’t spend months mulling over what Apple will be coming up with and setting my expectations higher and higher with each rumor. I did know what I don’t like about current products such as netbooks, the Kindle, the Nook and the also soon to be released HP Slate. A few highlights of the iPad: iPhone apps work on it

Give Apple and the iPad a break.

I kept thinking about how to approach this post. Anyone who reads the blog for more than a few days knows of my love for Apple. So perhaps expectations were too high to possibly make today’s Apple iPad announcement worth the wait. That said, I do have some reservations about the iPad, and here they are: Multi-tasking – iPad wants to bridge the gap between your phone and your laptop. For some users, they would love the iPad to replace the laptop all together.

DACport has a niche USB sound system that promises to bring increased music fidelity to your computer as well as more volume. Digital recordings that are compressed to popular formats like MP3 and OGG do suffer some of the side effects of being shrunk down; those with an ear for audio miss the fine details removed from their originals. The DACport from CEntrance packs a 24-bit DAC that can improve and restore quality back to your down-sampled compressed digital recordings. Their AdaptiWave technology requires no drivers or software all the work is done inside the hot-dog sized adapter

We kept screaming for Nexus One accessories and now, finally, we have one.  Google have pushed their Nexus One Desktop Dock out of the door , and as expected it does more than merely charge your smartphone and keep it out of the dust and crumbs on your desk.  Dropping a Nexus One into the Desktop Dock automatically kick-starts the Clock app (with time, weather, alarms, photo slideshows and media playback), and there’s also an audio-out connector that allows you to hook the dock up to a speaker system and easily play music from your phone. Bizarrely, Google make no mention of Bluetooth on the Desktop Dock’s product page, instead burying it in the user guide [pdf link].

An update to the iPhone developer SDK now enables Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users to make VoIP calls over cellular networks.  The application, dubbed iCall, is the only one in the Apple App Store at this current moment that can allow for VoIP over 3G connections. The other obvious question at the moment is, will the iPad be equipped with this feature?  Apple’s newly announced tablet has app support, 3G, Wi-Fi, microphone, and speaker, all that’s needed for VoIP calls.  If so, then the iPad may truly lives up to its hype as an “oversized iPhone”

OK, so I have given myself a whopping 7 hours to think about the iPad, and while conventional wisdom might say I need to wait 2 months and actually hold one to truly form my opinion of the device, my brain is so evolved, and my “Awesome detector” so refined, that I can render a final judgment at record speed. So sit back, and prepare to learn the Good, the Bad, and the Meh about the iPad

The cream of the New York publishing industry rose to the occasion of the Apple iPad launch, then sat in the shadows for almost an hour as chief executive officer Steve Jobs extolled the gadget’s utility for just about everything – gaming, networking, browsing, watching videos – except reading. The legendary Kindle-killer of the book trade’s imagination made no appearance among the iPad’s multiple personalities. But then Mr. Jobs introduced the print brigade, beginning with a New York Times executive. As the executive previewed a nimble, full-colour application of the influential newspaper, it became obvious how important the iPad was to him and his competitors
