It's been a while since the iPad was releases in the US and there were many reports showing that more than 1/4 of all the sold iPad's were taken off to other countries meaning internationals really wanted an iPad. Though problem was they can't use the App store until the device is released in their country... The iPad is expected to be hitting stores internationally and although it was said they would be released late last month Apple decided that tomorrow would be perfect, to create more hype. I will try my best to get my hands on an iPad tomorrow as I am currently living in Canada. The Apple store is only about 5 min away and I consider going to the Apple store first more than any other resellers especially when there is a new device! There might be huge crowds even though I am pretty sure everyone knows what to expect, and users internationally living in the nine countries will also be able to access the App store. The 16gb model is going to be $549 CAD which is reasonable when comparing to $499 and now consumers should also be able to use cash rather than just credit cards and debit. We doubt there will be as massive crowds as there were in the U.S. and we don't expect huge sales since many people got their iPad from the U.S.

For now the excitement is all that is inside everyone, that finally we can be able to see the iPad in more people's hands. The iPad is set to be released in nine countries tomorrow and those are as follows: Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and UK. These nine lucky countries will experience the iPad release tomorrow while we aren't sure the release date for the other countries just yet. 

After hearing about Apple and the release of iAd in OS 4.0, Google had decided that they would buy AdMob to display ads on their Android platform phones, this gives advertisers a great chance at getting their business known through ads. Google has said to pay $750 million to buy AdMob on May 21st  and this could significant news for Apple, since Google Adsense has been around for a while, Google is well known in the Ad world. It is said Apple could make more than $800 million annually through iAd and given that their line of iPod and iPhone's are so popular this new iAd feature shouldn't be in too much danger compared to AdMob but then again the Android platform is catching up and is proving to be a real nice OS, for many smart phones. Developers can also expect to make more money through ad's from AdMob and iAd. It is said that AdMob also had minimalist ads on the iPhone before. But with Google as a strong company it shouldn't take too long for everyone to get used to AdMob.

I think it was a good move from Google to buy AdMob at this stage as they understand they need to keep up with their competitors and this could make the Android platform even more popular for developers in the future.

For a while now Apple didn't accept cash for any of their products that was until a lady in the US had worked hard to save all her money for an iPad and when she found out no cash was accepted it had hurt her but Steve Jobs gave in that day and made a new rule now allowing people to purchase products directly with cash. It might be good for most people as they save taxes and it may also attract more consumers but we have to be thankful for the lady to create a new rule. So now there are no worries what you have because now cash is also accepted we aren't sure if this rule is in use outside of the U.S. but since the CEO claims that it should be.

More news on Apple to come soon.

Rumors have been going around for a while now speculating on the iPod Touch getting a camera and some say Apple were going to put a camera on the 3rd generation models but at the end decided against it, well it's no surprise, now that news has been leaked that a 4th generation iPod Touch will get a 2 megapixel camera. That seems to be the only news and I doubt we will see a 128gb model of the iPod Touch any soon, so for the most part we will have the same amount of space for storage. The design also looks the same, in my opinion Apple can't make it look any better than how it already is. The interface also seems to look quite different.

This rumour was found by a Vietnamese company and surprisingly they were the ones who had leaked the news about the new Macbook's and that became true, so there is a good chance this 4th generation iPod Touch rumour might also be true.

Here is a video found on the leaked iPod Touch 4g (Unfortunately the video is not in english but you can get a good look at the leaked iPod Touch):

Remember all the buzz that was going on about a legendary software which Google will release called Wave and it is a collaborative communication piece of software which offers users to have an open conference, with visuals etc. Google had spoken a lot about Wave but had kept it a secret for users offering only invites. Each person who got Wave had the opportunity of giving out seven invites to their friends. But with the Google Conference happening today Google announced that Wave will now be available for everyone! So now when you take a look at the Google Wave site it gives you the option to sign up!

I am sure most people were waiting for this day as it kept many people eager to get Wave and many good reviews were shown about Wave but now that it is open to the whole public we will soon be able to find out whether Google Wave ends up with positive reviews or not.

Here is a snapshot of Google Wave:

Everyone still doesn't understand why Apple is selling the white Macbook, they believe that the end for the Macbook line is coming but Apple still continues to offer it. What I believe is that the only reason why Apple is selling the white Macbook is because it's cheap and it's their only notebook under $1000. Now with the upgrades done today, you could be expecting to get more bang for your buck. The update includes a 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, opposed to the older 2.26ghz, an nVidia 320M graphics chipset which is set to perform much better than the 9400m and the battery life has been updated from 7 hours to 10 hours. The amount of RAM still remains 2gb and the hard drive is still at 250gb. These specs are much better than the last revision and we could be seeing more sales. But one thing I was annoyed was that why couldn't Apple put in a Intel Core i3 processor? There isn't a huge difference between the i3 and Core 2 Duo, but looking at markets today, the Core 2 Duo chip is now significantly old and outdated.

The white design and all the exterior of the Macbook remains the same with the curved design and glass multi-touch trackpad. Apple should expect more sales with this Macbook especially for student's starting college next year and this was the perfect time to upgrade the Macbook's. That's all the news for now, stay tuned for more updates.
