In case you needed another place to buy the iPad, try your local Wal-Mart

Section: Apple , Computers , Mobile Computers It would appear as if Wal-Mart is getting ready to begin selling the iPad. Not only have we seen images of the iPad hitting the store shelves, but we also have what appears to be some legitimate pricing. So far nothing overly surprising in regards to the prices as they appear to be the same as what Apple is selling them for. In other words, expect to pay $499, $599 or $699 for the 16GB, 32GB or 64GB Wi-Fi only model and $629, $729 or $829 for the 16GB, 32GB or 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model

Limera1n Jailbreak Works On Apple TV

When GeoHot released his Limera1n iOS 4.1 jailbreak over the weekend he caused quite a bit of upset in the jailbreaking community, which led the Chronic Dev team to delay the release of their Greenpois0n jailbreak . Now it seems that as well as being able to jailbreak your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, Limera1n is also capable of jailbreaking the new Apple TV . Erica Sadun from TUAW has confirmed this as she was able to get her Apple TV into DFU mode and jailbreak it using Limera1n, although there is not much you can do with the new Apple TV as yet as no one has managed to egt any apps to run on it as yet.

O+ Music Release Concept By David Riesenberg

Designer David Riesenberg just sent us details of his latest design concept, called O+ Music, which is designed to be used for promotion of a new single. O+ Music is four things in one, a vinyl record, a CD, a USB drive, and an iTunes music code, all of which have the same music track on them and allow you to listen to the track in a range of different ways. Here is what David has to say about O+ Music, and whilst he states that it may not be a cost effective way to distribute music, is certainly would be a great way to promote a single, and we think it is an interesting and innovative idea

Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Gets Delayed

Yesterday the Chronic Dev Team were due to launch the Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, unfortunately it has now been delayed, because of the recent release of Limera1n. The Chronic Dev team have decided to delay the release, because the Limera1n jailbreak uses a different exploit that the SHatter exploit that was going to be used in Greeenpois0n. If the Chronic Dev Team had released Greenpois0n using the SHatter exploit, Apple would have a chance to patch it, and the LimeRa1n exploit, but by holding off they are saving the SHatter exploit for a future date, which makes it better for the jailbreaking community. Instead the Chronic Dev Team are working on Greenpois0n using the same exploit that GeoHot has used in Limera1n, you can see what they had to say about his release below

Google Testing Self Driving Cars

Google [GOOG] is testing out some self driving cars, which are able to drive around on their own without the need for a driver, although there is someone sat in the drivers seat of the car. Google’s self driving car is equipped with some artificial intelligence software, plus a rotating sensor in its roof, which is capable of scanning up to 200 feet in all directions, which creates a 3D map of what is around the vehicle. The cars are actually modified Toyota Prius, and you can see one in action in the video below, and although it may look like there is a driver behind the wheel, he is just sat there and the onboard computer is doing all the driving. via Cnet , PC Mag Image Credit: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET Video Credit: Scobelizer

Ultrasone Edition 10 $2,750 Headphones

By David Ponce It’s making-fun-of-audiophiles-time again! We never cease to be amused by what passes as acceptable marketing material when trying to justify astronomic price tags of some high end audio equipment. Take these $2,750 Edition 10 headphones from Ultrasone: [They feature] open-back ear cups with galvanic Ruthenium plating and a Zebrano wood inlay, Ethiopian sheepskin leather ear cup pads, Titanium-plated 40mm drivers, silver-plated OFC 99.99% pure copper wires with Kevlar casing, S-Logic Plus technology… We actually reviewed a set of Ultrasone headphones way back in 2006 and found them to be a little meh. Then again, they were only a $150 model and certainly didn’t have any of that douchetastic look to them, so perhaps are different? Full press release and links after the break.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Sports “Pr0n” Button

By David Ponce I have a Romanian friend who’ll get a kick out of this. See, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a great product and everything, but what really sets it apart is a snazzy “Porn” button. While awesome (and incredibly juvenile… lulz), pressing it won’t take you, well… where you might think. In fact, a closer inspection of the above picture might alert you to the fact that this particular Galaxy Tab is not in English
