Meh. A luxury app, I don't see this breaking into the gamer scene that much. Weak graphics.

10:48AM Need for Speed Shift on screen. Looks pretty good. "Building for the iPad is a little different -- it's kind of like holding an HD display up to your face. It's really cool."

now we're talking... love what Apple (and maybe the 360?) are doing to shake up the TV company lockdown for sports...

MLB says they had to create a "whole new experience" for the larger display. There's the "live game experience", which looks at scores, and even stuff like the trajectory of every pitch thrown, being able to tap on the ball to see details, or tapping on a person to see their baseball card.

You can even replay games in a small window on the screen. There are game controls, to see the box score, the field, the matchup and the lineup.

10:53AM "Isn't that awesome? These guys only had two weeks. So we've seen some really great apps. Let me show you another... one of our apps. That's an ebook reader. Now Amazon has done a great job of pioneering this... we're going to stand on their shoulders for this. Our new app is called iBooks."

It must be nice to be on Apple's marketing team, never having to think creatively when naming these products.

It's a big enough pain in the ass already to affix those little screen scratch guards to the face of an iPod or iPhone. I can't imagine trying to center one up perfectly on this things 10" screen without completely misaligning it or having 9 million air bubbles in it!

What does it cost for the data plans? In the US, companies charge $60 for a data plan for laptops. But, "we've got a real breakthrough here. We've got two awesome plans for iPad owners." The first is 250MB data a month for $15. And if you want unlimited data for $30 a month.

EDIT: It's with AT&T, and you can use AT&T WiFi hotspots for free as an iPad owner. You can activate the service over the pad and cancel at any time. No contract.
