App Store Leaks: iPad Apps and Game Prices, Explicit Category Redux

MacRumors, likely using elite-ninjary, managed to gain access to the upcoming App Store for iPad’s best seller list and it highlights a lot of new and interesting details on what apps and games we’ll see and what their prices points will be (something we’d just been wondering about):

  1. Flight Control HD – $4.99
  2. Real Racing HD – $9.99
  3. Labyrinth 2 HD – $7.99
  4. Piano Lesson PianoMan for iPad – $2.99
  5. Cro-Mag Rally for iPad – $9.99
  6. Enigmo Deluxe – $9.99
  7. Manic Marble 2 for iPad – $3.99
  8. Otto Matic for iPad – $9.99

OmniGraphSketcher is also listed at $14.99

Who’s been buying iPad apps to generate a best seller list before the device even ships? Either it’s just a test seed, or people inside Apple and those few Mossberg-level reviewers have been dropping early review dollars. Of course, developers can change pricing at any time so who knows what prices we’ll actually see on launch day and thereafter.

Also unknown is whether another App Store leak, this time from MacStories.net, shows Apple is once again moving forward with that Explicit Apps category, or if they’re still just mulling things over. Both Top Explicit Paid Software and Top Explicit iPad Software were spotted, however, and while currently empty, no doubt some developer somewhere is already hard at work on {Random Sexy App} HD.

Again, the earliest we’ll know anything for sure is April 3 when the iPad goes on sale, and that’s only the beginning…

Sony intros four new made for iPod / iPhone headsets

Posted on by Donald Melanson.
Categories: Uncategorized.
Sony's already kicked out some decent looking PC gaming headsets this month, and it's now followed those up a new batch of 'buds (and one set of over-the-ear headphones) that are "made for" for your iPod or iPhone. The earbuds come in the form of the DR-EX300iP, MDR-EX38iP, and MDR-E10iP, which pack either 9mm or 13mm Neodymium drivers, along with in-line controls, a built-in mic and, in the latter two cases, your choice of two different colors. They're joined by the DR-V150iP headphones "tailor-made for DJs," which pack the same in-line controls and mic, along with a 30mm ferrite driver that promises "deep bass and generous power handling." Of the lot, only the MDR-EX38iP is available now (for $40), with the rest due out in May.

Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt Take Coffee, Talk Shop

500x_jobs-schmidt-1

Gizmodo has just posted up some candids of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and Google CEO Eric Schmidt taking tasty beverages together and talking shop at the Calafia in the Town and Country, Pal Alto, which is owned by former Google chef Charlie Ayers. Reportedly Jobs was overheard saying:

  • “They’re going to see it all eventually so who cares how they get it.”
  • “Let’s go discuss this somewhere more private.”

What the “it” and the “this” are precisely, we don’t know. Could this be the first tender, fragile steps towards reconciliation? Was the public setting intentional?

And what were they discussing? Search in Safari? Google Voice? The HTC lawsuit? Random Android ballon assault? How much Ballmer sweats? What?!

Twelve iPhone apps for students

Posted on by Rosemary Kitchen.

Filed under:

It's been a while since we were in school, but with spring break almost done with, it's time to settle back into that last long stretch of school before it warms up and summer starts. You've got your handy iPod touch or iPhone with you on campus, and of course, you'll download some games, music, and apps that help you figure out where to go Saturday night, but there are also dozens of useful apps for the college student that are sure to be beneficial to you and your education. Here's twelve good ones to check out.

Chemical Touch Lite
College chemistry is never easy, and students will be required to memorize the periodic table of elements and use chemistry mathematical formulas. Chemical Touch Lite will let you do exactly that -- it has a fully interactive periodic table of elements, as well as information on all of the elements and their symbols. It won't guarantee you an A, but it will help you remember Au (and all of the other elements you need to know).

Eleven more after the break!

Best Buy and Amazon Gearing Up for iPad Launch. Where Are You Shopping?

According to Mac Rumors, Best Buy is gearing up for Apple’s iPad launch on April 3rd. The retail chain is providing its employees with details leading up to launch day and stores are expecting display materials early next week. Not every Best Buy will carry the device, however. Only the stores with Apple shop sections will be lucky enough to sell iPads at launch. If you do plan on making a purchase at Best Buy on April 3rd be aware none of their stores will be opening early.

In other iPad sales news, 9to5Mac points out Amazon.com also seems to be prepping for iPad sales as well by setting up a placeholder for all three WiFi versions on their site. So while you will not see it on Amazon for sale on day one, it should not be long after.

More choices are better for the consumer, but which choice is best for you? Where will you be picking up your iPad? Let us know in the comments below!
