Feature Story (2 pages) A flagship that's cheaper than a Galaxy and easier to buy than a OnePlus Two. Ars Technica reviews the iPad. The iPad isn't a big iPod touch—an iPod touch is a miniature iPad that restricts the full multitouch experience in exchange for offering greater portability. With the iPad, in contrast, you get multitouch the way it was meant to be done. That's one of our many take-aways after having submerged ourselves in iPad land since launch. The larger screen doesn't just offer more space to work with—it opens up a different and more immersive user experience.

Because of this different experience, though, the closed nature of the platform can get under some users' skin in ways the iPhone and iPod touch do not. Still, the iPad is likely to just be a starting point for Apple and for multitouch computing in general. A large chunk of the Ars staff contributed to this review, either in the form of writing full sections or by offering feedback and insights based on their own experiences. Table of Contents.

Dropping Gadgets, Breaking News. 7 Green Tips for the Paperless Professional. Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of Green Tips posts, a collaboration between WebWorkerDaily and our sister site, Earth2Tech. Going paperless is now a realistic option to making your work life more friendly on the planet and more efficient in general. From web-based faxing, to replacing all mail with email, to toting around your own coffee mug, the benefits of eliminating paper can both preserve natural resources and save you money. Ditching excess paper can also streamline many business practices, eliminating clutter and adding searchablity, data protection and ubiquitous access. Here are seven tips to get you started on your green paperless office. 1.

Bring faxing into the digital age. Services that convert paper mail to email don’t actually help to save paper, and some have faced privacy concerns. Most mailed paper bills can be eliminated with e-billing. 2. You don’t have to just receive e-bills, but you can generate them, too. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. GigaOM Network. Analyst: Apple iPads outselling Macs, nearing iPhone 3GS sales |

If you’re still unsure that the iPad will be as successful as Apple’s other trendy gadgets, it may be time to rethink your assumptions. Apple is now selling more than 200,000 iPads every week, which means its outselling Apple’s Mac computers and nearing sales of the iPhone 3GS, according to analyst Mike Abramsky from RBC Capital Markets (via Digital Daily). Abramsky wrote the following in a note to clients this morning: Checks indicate that US iPad sales remain strong post-launch, driven by rising consumer visibility to iPad’s user experience, sustained PR/word-of-mouth marketing, 3G iPad launch, and broadening iPad apps/content. We believe Apple is now selling >200k iPads/week, greater than US Macs (est. 110k Macs/week) and just below US iPhone 3GS first quart (246k/week). It’s also worth noting that the 110,000 Macs include both Apple’s desktop and laptop computers. The iPad has sold out at many Apple and Best Buy stores, particularly the newer 3G-equipped version of the device.

AT&T Data Plans’ Biggest Losers: Femtocell Users. Smartphone user outrage over AT&T’s new capped data plans may be dying down, but another set of consumers could soon get fired up: femtocell owners. According to the AT&T femtocell product service agreement, “Normal charges apply for mobility data plans and features when using the AT&T 3G MicroCell.”

Those terms haven’t changed, but the new data plans, which are now limited to 200 MB or 2 GB a month, stand to add significant overage charges to the bills of heavy femtocell users. On paper, there’s much to like about femtocells. Akin to little cell towers, they provide pockets of solid coverage for the phones in your home. Your handset connects to the femtocell, which then routes your voice or data activities through a fast broadband connection that you provide. It’s a win-win: You get better service for your handset while the carrier enjoys more network capacity as your activities are offloaded to the Internet. AllThingsD.
