10 Day iPad Countdown
Editor’s note: In anticipation of Apple’s April 3rd iPad launch, we’re reviewing our top 10 must-have iPad gear. Each day leading up to April 3rd, we’ll cover one new app or accessory for the iPad. Be sure to let us know what your top 10 iPad items are by leaving us a comment below.
We’ve covered the boy bags and now it’s time for the ladies! As a busy on-the-go mom, I want an iPad bag that’s fun, easy to carry and functional. When I pick up my iPad next weekend, I want a Hip Bag from M-Edge to go along with it.
This modern style messenger bag comes in five great colors and is constructed of durable canvas. The exterior is treated with ScotchGuard to protect it from the elements (always a plus with kids) and the microfiber interior will protect my iPad from the bumps and bruises of everyday life. I love the two exterior pockets for storage which are sure to become a catch all for all kinds of stuff.
iPad Apps Section Revealed on iTunes
MacRumors has managed to access the iPad’s best seller lists on iTunes which reveals several of the iPad App Store launch titles. The lists show several dozen applications with release dates as far back as March 19th. This follows the news we broke yesterday on iPad apps being accepted in the Apps Store in anticipation of the iPads April 3rd launch.
Two things strike us with the news MacRumors was able to discover. First, the price for the iPad apps are higher than what we’re used to seeing for the iPhone or iPod Touch. We don’t know where this trend will go but it’s clear publishers are looking to reverse the price erosion they saw on their apps for the iPhone. Secondly, Apple is going out of their way to make it easy for users to find new apps made specifically for the iPad. Apple has a lot riding on the iPad being a success and it creating a new “third” category of mobile devices. Apple needs to have compelling new apps for the iPad platform to give users a reason to buy yet another mobile device.
Based on Apple’s track record, we feel comfortable in them pulling this off and turning the iPad in to the next big thing. We can’t wait!
Comic Zeal 4 Coming to You
With almost 8 days away for the iPad launch the very popular Comic Zeal iPhone app has made its way into the news with details about their new app version. Our friends from Tuaw broke the news yesterday. I’m excited, how can you not? I am so used to reading comic books laying on the couch. I’ve tried reading comics in my computers before but it just doesn’t feel right (even with a big monitor). The iPad experience for these comics should be stunning.
Developer bitolithic has provided details about this app in their blog. There are several cool features that will come out with this app. Features like new controls at the top of the screen rather than at the bottom (unlike the iPhone version) to make it easier for you and I while that gorgeous iPad is sitting in our laps. With the iPad, needless to say, you have a real nice full-screen view and the navigation has been tweaked, so that means there’s no real separation between selecting a book and seeing it. But to me one of the big features will be the free comic library, which will be hosted in Amazon’s S3 service. This means you and I will be able to do fast downloads and import our own comics without downloading extra stuff.

Peek claims to have something big coming out
We had an inkling that the Peek email device probably won’t do too well considering its buisness model from the beginning, and with a relatively high entry price point, this could very well be the case. Well, the company claims that it has something up their sleeves which will blow your minds away, although they did not let out on what were the potential improvements that involved this mystery device (which we suspect would be a successor for the current Peek). What do you think Peek has up its sleeves?
