Daily News Recap (February 1, 2010)

Spent all of Sunday night watching the Grammys? Well, if you didn’t then you missed the first non-Apple employee with an iPad, none other then Stephen Colbert. Digitimes had something to say about how the iPad affects China’s e-book market. Our favorite story of the day: a Chinese clone maker is considering suing Apple for taking its version of an oversized iPod touch and turning it into an iPad. TUAW pondered where the iMag store is. Someone figured out a way to put Windows 7 on an iPad. Dennis Sellers asked where the Verizon iPad went while Dan Frommer at Business Week insisted it was still on track – funny how FoxNews was the one that claimed the Verizon iPad.

Apple released iTunes 9.0.3. Arnold Kim at MacRumors did some more reflecting on the iPad news, including the fact that the only source (China Times) that correctly predicted the screen size also predicts a 22″ touchscreen iMac. Hardmac claims that Apple has suspended production of all 27″ iMacs until it sorts out the yellow screen issue, sounds like Toyota doesn’t it? TheLoop is reporting that 9 out of every 10 computers over $1000 were Macs – here’s to the Mac tax. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the iPhone lost market share in the 4th quarter, yet still managed to gain ground? A Virginia wireless company is suing Apple claiming it stole a bunch of patented things, for $10 million we imagine this will be settled quickly. 9to5Mac thinks that Apple is now getting a Twitter account, in addition to the newly founded YouTube page. Logitech has found a way to turn your iPhone into a trackpad. Intel claims that SSDs will double in size by the end of 2010. Our favorite media player, VLC, was updated to version 1.0.5 and Wacom announced its new (and) completely wireless Intuos4 pen tablet.

Perhaps tomorrow we won’t have to have a section dedicated to the iPad. Sigh.

TheMacFeed Does CES – Part I

Charlie was forced in to attending CES against his will. Anyways, today he mainly focused on two floors in the South Hall, which meant a lot of audio, mobile phones and computer related products. Few new products were announced as CES closes down, but we had a chance to see some wonderful products (and yes, we played the avatar video game in 3D). Some of the highlights include Swan’s booth with their beautiful (looking and sounding) speakers; Sennheiser’s massive collection of headphones (why they didn’t have the IE8 makes no sense; the 3D experience (more on that tomorrow); the tablets; the beer at Speck’s booth; Kodak’s massive table; Speck’s amazing artwork and Tyson Gaye at Sennheiser. The product that shocked us the most was a gaming headset from Track Scan that retailed for only $50 and was one of the best sounding we have ever heard. Look for more information tomorrow including new products from 12 South and don’t forget to check our post about two new earphones from Shure (with rare pictures.) CES photos after the break….
