Mercedes-Benz is providing iPads to 40 lucky dealers across the country so that they gain access to the company’s point-of-sale dealer system on the showroom floors.
“Mercedes-Benz Financial today announced that it is putting the Apple iPad into the hands of its dealers, becoming the first automotive finance company to give dealers mobile access to its proprietary point-of-sale dealer system called MB Advantage. In doing so, Mercedes-Benz Financial is one of the first companies to adapt the consumer-oriented iPad as a mobile business tool.”
And why not use iPad as it will provide the dealers with wireless mobility, information and flexibility – directly at their finger tips.
Video after the break! And yes we are aware it will not play on your iPhone – blame Mercedes-Benz for using Flash…

Another page to be filed in our increasingly full “things analysts say which may or may not be so” drawer says Apple wasn’t sure whether or not the N90 “iPhone HD” prototype would be ready to launch and so had a safer, more iPhone 3GS-like N91 in the wings:
On a side note, Apple initiated the iPhone 4G project at the end of 2008. According to our sources, Apple actually has another product codenamed N91 for the project, which offers less change from previous iPhones compared with the N90. It’s a parallel product to back up the N90 in case there are major delays due to significant modifications in casing, display resolution, digital camera support and so forth.
That resolution being the 960×640 we’ve heard rumored for a while, which is a magic number exactly twice vertical and horizontal to the current 480×320 iPhone and iPod touch resolution at pretty much the same physical size. That means existing apps will look virtually identical while new apps look even sharper — no iPad-style chunky double fuzzies here. Likewise, if Apple wanted to introduce a larger, HTC HD2 or Incredible sized display later, that pixel density would still look great and still mean no work, no fracture for developers.
Other tidbits include:
Again, we never know how reliable any of this will turn out to be, but with WWDC so close, we’ll find out soon enough.

At over 5ooMB, Wired’s iPad app arrives in the App Store and yes, the future of magazine reading appears to arrive with it!
Last November we gave a sneek-peek at Wired’s concept for a magazine on a tablet. That demo was in Adobe’s Flash. The new version is 100% Flash free and is beautiful.
Navigating the magazine is a breeze; tap on the screen and you are given overlayed navigation tools. The bottom scrolls through pages and the top has two options- zoom out and a vertical list of articles in the issue.
There is plenty of interactive content too. Videos from the upcoming Toy Story movie and 3D real-time models of Mars and a Lego Lamborghini. With this awesome content and interactivity comes a price; $4.99 an issue. Is it worth it? Let us know in comments! Check screenshots after the break!
[$4.99- iTunes Link]

mommy to be is a pregnancy tracking application for the iPhone. It provides detailed weekly information, photos, tips, and a place to store notes.
The home screen of mommy to be displays how many weeks you are into your pregnancy, your baby’s length and size, a meter to visually see how far you’ve progressed, and much more. There is also a new photograph displayed for each week. Although these photographs are very nice, I would prefer to see a picture that shows how the fetus looks at this stage in development. One thing I found strange about mommy to be is that the accomplished number of weeks is correct, but the current week is one week ahead. My suspicion is that since this app was developed in Europe, they count their weeks different than we do in the US.
In addition to the home screen, there are tabs for “You” and “Your Baby”. Here you’ll find detailed information about what to expect with your body and the developmental changes that are happening with your baby. One or both of theses sections will generally also include a cute picture that is related to the topic being discussed.
The tips tab is an excellent section of this app. Each week, mommy to be gives you a different tip related to pregnancy, babies, shopping, or anything that is related to being pregnant. I find this part especially helpful as a first-time mom.
mommy to be is a great pregnancy application that offers a lot of useful information. This app will be good companion for any pregnant woman wanting to track their pregnancy and learn about the process on the way.
