Interesting to see that The Times team have decided to give all their existing subscribers — or iPad app purchasers — an additional 30 days subscription. The news arrived this afternoon by email for all subscribers. Why? Well it’s a token of their appreciation. One MIR reader wrote in with this comment: I like their [...]
I took out my iPhone and recorded a QIK video of The Times iPad application in use. See what you think…
I very much enjoyed this perspective penned by Chris Davies over at SlashGear: How foolish I’ve been. Five months ago I wrote that tablets had come of age, and even sifted my way through the line-up cherry picking what must-have features would make for the perfect device. A month later, in the afterglow – or [...]
Here’s the frontpage of today’s The Times iPad application: The app has been getting quite a lot of attention over the past few days particularly since it represents a corresponding shift toward a paid-for experience of The Times and The Sunday Times. I’m going to produce a video-walkthrough shortly — but meantime I wonder if [...]
If you’d like to enable your site to serve HTML5 videos to the growing legions of users with super-fancy devices such as the iPad, iPhone and so on, then I very much recommend checking out the Longtail Video site’s HTML5 Beta Player. It not only delivers a lovely HTML5 experience, but it also falls back [...]
Why did I pay a tenner for The Times iPad app? Well I thought I should try it out and see what it was like. I’ve had a preview of it and it utterly rocked when I saw it. Alas right now all I see when I run the app is a black screen thus. [...]
Goodness me there’s quite an iPad echo-chamber going on around the marketplace. Almost everyone I speak to is craving or mentioning the iPad in one way or another. The launch, of course, has been ridiculously delayed. If you believe Apple’s brilliantly convenient ‘message’, they completely stuffed up their distribution logistics which led to them having [...]
3 have announced their rather competitive deals for the iPad. Here are the simple choices: – 1GB monthly rolling contract: £7.50/month – 10GB monthly rolling contract: £15/month Now that sounds pretty good, right? Well it’ll sound even better when you check Vodafone’s iPad price plan which tops out at £25/month for 5GB. Vodafone would have [...]
This text is contributed by Jeffrey Hughes, author of iPhone and iPad Apps Marketing: Secrets to Selling Your iPhone and iPad Apps. He’s put together these four pillars for your consideration. It’s riding high up the Kindle reading list and is currently #13 in the Amazon Electronics book section. For good reason. Here’s what Jeffrey [...]
News in from British gadget manufacturer, Proporta. They’ve just released a new range of truly eco friendly mobile accessories focused around the iPad and other smartphones. All accessories are made from sustainable bamboo, recycled leather and hessian. I like it! Apparently bamboo was chosen due to it’s 28000 psi tensile strength which is apparently 20% [...]
Right then the speculation over the UK iPad pricing can now be banished. I was hoping for something around £379 or £399 for the basic 16GB WiFi-only device, but no. The Guardian is reporting that the price structure will be thus: 16GB WiFi only: £429 32GB WiFi only: £499 64GB WiFi only: £599 16GB WiFi+3G: [...]
Orange have announced their iPad data price plans for the United Kingdom. I was bracing myself, but actually, it’s not too bad. In fact, provided I forget what I’m already paying for my data dongle, the pricing looks fairly reasonable. First of all, you can pay-for-what-you-use. That simply costs £0.05 per megabyte. (Do you remember [...]
