My good friend @toxinide has built something great: a motorized iPad stand made of Lego.
It’s awesome, check out the video after the break. And be careful when you let it wander around.

Air Display Makes The iPad An Additional Display For Your Mac
Air Sharing is one of the best apps I have on the iPhone and iPad, and it’s become a such important part of my daily workflow that I can’t imagine working without it anymore. The guys over at Avatron surely did a great job in building an app that, no matter how deep you delve into it, it’s user friendly, easy to approach yet powerful and highly customizable. But Avatron is not only Air Sharing HD, at least not anymore: they’ve been working on this new application called Air Display for a while now, and we’ve taken it for a spin after its approval late last night in the App Store.
Is Air Display really worthy?
iPad Jailbreak Goes Mainstream on “Attack of the Show”
Spirit keeps getting popular and it goes mainstream. How long before Steve writes his Thoughts on Spirit?
That would be a great headline.
iPads Already Arriving to Italy
Call it an error or just a huge amount of luck, some Italian users are already receiving their iPads. iPadevice’s reader Ricky has got his iPad, and has also posted a video of the unboxing which shows the European plug - it’s legit.
We heard that Apple is using UPS Saver as shipment option for European devices, which is a faster service than the US one. Maybe that’s why iPads alre already showing up. More importantly, the good news is Apple isn’t blocking shipments like they did for American customers.

PhotoForge, Finger Safe Photo Editing. Review and Giveaway!
Editing photos on the iPad should be a pretty big thing. After all, it eliminates the need to carry a 4.5LB laptop, and the iPad’s screen offers a great editing interface over that of a netbook. While it’s debatable whether your smudgy fingers can make more accurate changes than a good ol’ fashioned Wacom pen or even the mighty mouse, I’d have to say the iPad is perfect for quick edits on the go. Today, we’ll be looking at PhotoForge, an iPad app specifically designed to mark up fussy photos.
Look At Your Music with Tune Frame for iPad
The iPad is the perfect devices for parties: just fill it up with some good music, some great DJ apps and you’ll see people gathering all around it trying to touch the screen, put on some tunes and tell you “dude, this thing is awesome”. It happened, and it happened before with the iPhone.
The iPad is also a great single person media-consuming device though. I watch movies with it, I have podcasts synced with iTunes and I definitely spend too much time browsing the Youtube application. I also installed this neat Tune Frame app as well, and I think you should do the same.
Sneak Peek at Reeder for iPad
People have been talking a lot about the “second wave” of iPad apps these days. It’s pretty obvious that many developers rushed to have apps out in the iPad App Store on day one and many others are still working on new ones to be released / announced after the WWDC. That would be the second wave, if you’d like to call it so. And you can expect it to be freaking good.
To get straight to the point, we all know what’s the app currently missing on the iPad. If you’re an active Google Reader user and have an iPhone, I bet 10 bucks that you’re waiting for Reeder to be available on your tablet. If so, you should take a look at the screenshots we have below.
UPDATE: Check out our review of Reeder for iPad here.
Lite Notes for iPad: For When You Hate Marker Felt
“Hello?”
“I want to speak with him.”
“Who is this?”
“You know who I am. I want to speak with him.”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Federico. Steve is talking with him now.”
“Steve, huh? He’s not busy answering emails now?”
“Well, yes - he’s using him to access…”
“Yeah, whatever. I don’t care if Steve is busy talking with some Japanese dudes about Softbank or just trying out his new Droid, just let me talk with him. Now.”
“Ok, hold on a sec.”
How To: Play Vimeo Videos Inline On The iPad
I love Vimeo. Great videos are on it, the design of the website is great, the embeddable player is great. Youtube looks like crap when compared to Vimeo, and that’s a given. If you have an iPad though, you may have noticed that Vimeo videos don’t play inline as Youtube videos do. I’m telling you, this was driving me crazy.
Fortunately, someone has come up with a temporary solution to make sure that Vimeo videos play inline before the official HTML5 embed comes out. You should go thank Squaregirl over here. I suggest you to bookmark it.
