1) Like iPhone, iPad ad premieres at Oscars
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/07/like-iphone-ipad-ad-premieres-at-oscars/
Filed under: iPad
Talk about big premieres. Like it did with the iPhone and its "Hello" ad, Apple used the Oscars as the platform to debut its iPad commercial. The ad, set to the background of The Blue Van's "There Goes My Love," shows the iPad being used in a variety of ways: viewing a movie, reading an eBook, displaying photos, editing an iWork document and viewing email among them. The ad follows Apple's recent announcement that pre-orders for the device will be accepted beginning March 12, with shipments slated for April 3.
Here's a link to the ad at Apple's site. The ad is also embedded in the second half of this post.
As we noted on Twitter earlier, Apple chairman Steve Jobs was spotted on the red carpet before the awards... maybe he brought his iPad with him.

Filed under: TUAW Business, PodcastsIt's the biggest night in show business, but just in case you're not caught up in the Hollywood horse race (go Hurt Locker!) you're welcome to join Mike Schramm and I for our Sunday night Talkcast, as we dive into all things Mac, iPhone and iPad.
This week, of course, the big news was the announcement of the on-sale date for Apple's newest platform and the teaser of Steam for Mac, but there's also a lot coming up at the Game Developer's Conference over the next few days; we'll preview it with you. As always, your calls and questions help us make the show the best it can be.

3) Macworld UK estimates iPad pricing, late April availability in the Blighty
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/07/macworld-uk-estimates-ipad-pricing-late-april-availability-in-t/
Filed under: iPadOur English-speaking friends across the pond have been anxiously awaiting pricing and availability dates for the iPad. Macworld UK's Nick Spence notes that both the Wi-Fi and 3G models will be available in late April, meaning that developers in the UK who want to get their hands on an iPad earlier may have to consider flying to the US on April 3rd.
Spence reported that Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Switzerland will also see the iPad shipping in late April.
Based on the exchange rate for both the US Dollar and UK Pound Sterling, Macworld UK estimated the following prices for the iPad models:
iPad Wi-Fi: £417 (16GB); £500 (32GB); £584 (64GB)
Wi-Fi + 3G: £526 (16GB); £610 (32GB); £693 (64GB)
The estimated prices also add the 17.5% Value Added Tax, which is included in cost of goods in the UK.TUAWMacworld UK estimates iPad pricing, late [...]

4) Gameinformer: Portal 2 confirmed for Mac, Steam on the way for May
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/07/gameinformer-portal-2-confirmed-for-mac/
Filed under: Gaming, Multimedia, RumorsScans from the April 2010 issue of Gameinformer have confirmed that Portal 2, the sequel to Valve's wildly popular and critically acclaimed game Portal, will be released in fall of 2010 for the Xbox 360, PC, and Mac (as reported on MacRumors). No, your eyes do not deceive you: Portal 2 is coming to the Mac this fall.
More on the Valve front: TUAW reader Jason let us know that Gameinformer's April 2010 issue also confirms a May launch of Steam for the Mac. This was rumored several weeks ago based on some WebKit & Mac-specific content in the Steam beta, and pretty well locked in by Valve's viral leaks of Mac-themed 'reimagined' advertisements last week. (The final one is a bit of a give-away... read the copy.)
"There is an article on page 22, News, 'Mac Gets Its Steam On' - Valve preps May launch on Apple platform," Jason tells us. He also says the [...]

5) The Reader's View: Best of your feedback, comments and opinions
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/07/the-readers-view-best-of-your-feedback-comments-and-opinions/
Filed under: Odds and ends, TUAW BusinessThe Reader's View is our weekly roundup of some of the most upbeat, thoughtful, or just plain nice comments that have been published by TUAW readers. This week, we have discussions of Apple keyboards, Wi-Fi extenders, the iPad (no big surprise there...), Apple's stock price, and iPhone programming languages.
To begin with, reader efinkGr had a comment for Sang Tang's post "Mac 101: Going Commando with Command-key shortcuts in Mac OS X," saying "You know i wish they never got rid of the apple icon on the command key. I miss it :'( "
That prompted some research on my part, which pointed out that the Apple icon was on most Apple keyboards for the better part of 20 years simply because those keyboards could be used either with Macs or the Apple II family of computers.
David Winograd's interview with Roland Saekow of BearExtender is still [...]

6) Take your cute pills: Apple kitteh is a furry little Mac fan
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/07/take-your-cute-pills-apple-kitteh-is-a-furry-little-mac-fan/
Filed under: Humor, Odds and ends, MacBook
It's Sunday, a time for reflection, reading the Sunday comics, and looking at pictures of cute kittehs!
TUAW Reader Brian sent us a link to one of his favorite sites, The Daily Kitten. On March 6th, the kitten of the day was a little sweetheart named Lyra, who has learned at a young age that Apple is the brand to reach out to. Lyra's not quite as famous as my 15 year-old Tortoiseshell cat Ruby, who has joined me on TUAW TV Live, but she's certainly a lot cuter (sorry, Ruby!).
Enjoy these photos of Lyra! One, two, three... awwwwwwwwwwww!

7) reMail may be reIncarnated as it goes open source
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/07/remail-may-be-reincarnated-as-it-goes-open-source/
Filed under: iPhone, App Store
Several weeks back, we noted that Google had acquired reMail, and had placed founder Gabor Cselle and others from the reMail team on other Google projects. The reMail app distinguished itself from the iPhone's built-in Mail.app in several ways:
It could download all of your emails in a way that takes up a much smaller footprint than in Mail.app on the iPhone.
Its search feature is much faster than Mail.app, and is accompanied with niceties such as autocompleting the names of your contacts, remembering your past searches, and text mark up matches in your search results.
And lastly, reMail's search is full text, unlike the header search like in the Mail.app.
Though reMail is no longer being offered in the App Store, we may see its likeness spring up in other ways in future apps. As had been rumored shortly after the acquisition, reMail is now open [...]

8) Another iPhone video conferencing rumor surfaces
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/07/another-iphone-video-conferencing-rumor-surfaces/
Filed under: Rumors, Video, iPhoneThere's been many rumors pointing to the possible inclusion of video conferencing in the next-gen iPhone -- everything from faceplate photos to code embedded in the iPhone SDK itself has set off our rumor radar. This latest rumor from site Redmond Pie tends toward the weaker end of the spectrum as far as evidence goes: UK mobile provider O2 has listed "Video Calls" as a "Key Feature" of the forthcoming iPhone, with pricing for video calling listed as identical to standard phone calls.
Note that third-party sellers regularly advertise features for Apple's products well in advance of their actual release based on a "best guess" approach without any verifiable foreknowledge of the devices -- Best Buy's recent page update listing i7 processors for the upcoming MacBook Pro update is a perfect example -- so this latest update from O2 by no means confirms the [...]
