Details on iPad 3G Activations and Usage
After digging through AT&T’s quarterly earnings, MacRumors and Silicon Alley Insider uncovered some interesting tidbits with regard to the iPad 3G and its users.
- In about 2 months (May/June), about 500,000 iPad 3G were activated.
- The adoption of the iPad in the corporate world is unexpectedly high.
- About 4 out of 5 iPad 3G users selected the 2GB for $25 per month plan, over the apparently much less popular 250MB for $14.99 per month plan (note that the large amount of users who are still using the initial unlimited plan was not taken into account).
- The average iPad user consumes more data than the average iPhone user, but less than the average USB dongle / laptop user.

NEWS: APP OF THE DAY – AmpliTube
Give it some funky wah wah We’ve had some cracking App Of The Days previously on Pocket-lint, but this is surely one of the best as it brings the power of a multi-effects processor to guitarists everywhere. Not only this, but the free version has been available for around a month now meaning Guitar nirvana was never so cost effective. Say hello to AmpliTube. ? AmpliTube Format iPad/iPhone Price Free Where iTunes You’ll need to invest in the Amplitube iRig interface adapter - and preferably have a guitar to hand - but once kitted out you’ll be able to have some very comprehensive mobile FX for both a guitar and bass. Using a plethora of amps, stomps, cabinets and mics combined into a rig, this app should allow you to fully customise your setup and create the precise sound you want. The interface looks stunning and everything seems to be in the right place, with all the knobs and dials you could ever want. And it doesn’t sound bad either. In the package you’ll get 3 stompboxes - including delay, noise filter and distortion - and this can be added to through downloadable content up to 11 stops and 5 amps plus speaker cabinets. All of this can be controlled via the app and makes for a pretty favourable alternative to a full music rig. You get 36 presets, which can be saved down and you can import and play along with your own songs all with real-time effects. Tags: Software Phones iPhone apps AmpliTube Apps Mobile phone apps
Wild Grass LED Lights
If you’re looking for something a little different as far as solar lights go you could pick up these Wild Grass Solar Garden Lights. You can jam the stakes into the ground and make it appear as if you have random tufts of grass glowing in the dark. If you have any extra gullible friends you could always convince them that the grass is a special variety that glows every single night.
The set includes 3 sprigs of grass packed full of LED lights. Then of course there’s a handy little solar panel that charges up the rechargeable battery all day long. At night the lights kick on automatically and then shut off when the sun starts to come up. In order to run it’ll need 8 hours of sun to run for 6 hours in the evening. You can choose to keep the light steady or to flash. You can purchase it for $19.95 through Amazon.

Micro Fan keeps you cool
Keeping cool all of the time during the summer is close to impossible. There are just some places that aren’t as well air conditioned as others. If you are particularly sweaty in those situations and want to try to stay cool, this little pocket fan should be of great use to you. It could easily fit into your pocket and the blades tuck away nicely so that you won’t have to worry about them breaking off while you’re carrying it around.
These tiny fans come in two different colors, bright white and eggplant. The eggplant at least makes it look like the fan has a coat of leather over top of it. It comes with the batteries that are required, which is all of 1 AAA battery. You can purchase one of the fans for $12.95 through Solutions.

USB Butt Cooler Cushion
The Butt Cooler Cushion doesn’t leave much room for guessing, they just go right to the point and don’t dance around the truth. You have to value that level of bluntness. This Thanko cushion is meant to make sure that even your posterior stays nice and cool while you’re sitting in front of a very warm computer. That’s one heck of an accomplishment to stay cool in the presence of a computer.
The cushion is of course USB powered, being a Thanko product. The cushion has a integrated fan and even a USB adapter for your car. That means you can even use it while you’re out and about. Although somehow I doubt that carrying around a cushion like this is really going to attract the opposite sex. Then again, having sweat pouring off of you won’t help either. With the built-in fan it circulates the air and blows it right up your…well..you get the idea. You can purchase it for ¥5,200.00 or about $60 through Geek Stuff 4U.
