AT&T to Start Selling Business iPads Directly

2 Comments / Portable / By /

While Verizon will start to sell iPads directly to consumers shortly, AT&T Inc. said today they will start selling the Apple iPad direct to businesses through the corporate customer unit.

All three iPad WiFi and 3G models will be directly for sale to business customers as well as postpaid mobile broadband price plans for the iPad through business account representatives beginning October 28th. This new offer is available for customers whose AT&T wireless bills are paid for by their employer.

This announcement shows that Apple is increasing the number of places to sell the incredibly popular iPad including even Walmart.

Verizon Wireless to sell iPad Oct 28th 2010

Yes, the title is correct, but hold on. This is not an iPad built for the Verizon CDMA network. It’s still the same iPad, but not the 3G model, just the WiFi versions.

Instead Verizon will bundle the iPad with their MiFi mobile hotspot device. So this way, you can get your iPad (and up to 4 other devices) connected to the Verizon data network.

Prices will look like this:

  • $629.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 16GB + MiFi
  • $729.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 32GB + MiFi
  • $829.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 64GB + MiFi.

You can get a monthly access plan of up to 1GB of data for $20 a month.

Review: AmpliTube iRig for iPhone/iPad – Guitar Amp & Effects Rig

1 Comment / Audio/Video, Home Theater, Recommended, Reviews / By /

Amplitube iRig

As an amateur guitarist, I’m always trying to emulate my favorite guitar players, and of course, their sound. But without their rack of effects, getting even close to their sound is tough. And once upon a time, effects were very expensive, but as home computers have become more commonplace, effects have found their way (at least partially) into software.

Within the last few years, the iPhone has become one of the hottest gadgets to own. Enter IK Multimedia who have decided to marry the iPhone to a guitar effects rig in the form of the AmpliTube iRig. I got a chance to review this gadget and its associated iPhone app.
