The iPad is expected at the end of March, and many rumors are now storming the Internet regarding the start of the pre order campaign. A lot of rumors are currently setting February 25th as the beginning of a huge iPad pre order campaign from Apple. But, still according to those rumors, only US consumers should be offered the iPad on that day and the non 3G model will be the one and only type of iPad available for pre order. Let’s remind that the “Wi-Fi only” iPad will be available next month in 16Gb, 32 Gb and 64 Gb at $499, $599 and $699 respectively.

It appears that a rumored Hulu service on the iPad won’t be free after all. It’s believed that the networks behind Hulu want to charge a fee for watching movies and TV shows on mobile devices like the iPad in order to support the money-losing operation on the web.

We reported earlier this month that Hulu movies and TV shows could arrive on the iPad despite the fact that the device doesn’t support Adobe’s Flash that streams Hulu videos on the web. Sources told TechCrunch that Hulu could transcode Flash videos into an iPad-friendly H.264 video format. The device could be fed H.264 streams via either an iPad app or an iPad-optimized interface at Hulu.com.

According to the Wall Street Journal’s MediaMeme blog, General Electric’s NBC Universal, News Corp.’s Fox, and Disney’s ABC – who jointly run Hulu as the second-largest video site on the web – want to bring Hulu to the iPad. But here’s a catch – the broadcasters would like to charge the iPad users a subscription fee for the content otherwise provided free of charge on the web. Peter Kafka, the author of the report, cited “people familiar with the company” who asserted that a premium Hulu version for the iPad is inevitable:

Depending on who you talk to, the pay service is either supposed to help the money-losing web site turn a profit or compensate the networks for the eyeballs and dollars Hulu is supposedly siphoning away. Or both.

The exact model hasn’t yet been figured out, the reporter noted, but the broadcasters are adamant that Hulu shouldn’t be free on mobile devices and TVs. Kafka opined that Hulu sees the iPad as an “opportunity to charge for something it has been giving away on the web. There’s no word about a possible price point for a Hulu subscription yet beyond what sources described as a “strong offering at a good price”.

Well,

for those who haven’t figured it out we get straight to the point here at Jailbreaking The iPad. So if the title of this post offends you in any way, we recommend you find a new news site. Just kidding, but back to the point. Steve Jobs during a iPad Demo today trying to convince the Wall street journal to ditch flash in favor of the iPad. Comparing flash to old data ports, 3.5 inch floppy drives, ccfl screens, firewire 400.. Saying that the iPads battery life would drastically reduce from 10 hours to 1.5 hours trying to compute Flash algo’s. Well in our mind we think Steve Jobs is a complete Ass Hat for not working with adobe on making any changes flash may need to be iPad optimized. 90% of website’s on the internet integrate flash. So why should 90% of the internet change to accommodate Steve Jobs? BOO

The iPhone 3.2 OS allegedly integrates several additional iPad features that Apple has yet to formally introduce, an unnamed source has told AppleInsider. The Contact app, known as MobileAddressBook, has been converted into a utility labeled LittleBrownBook. The app is believed to be available as a standalone version, or as a widget that provides contact information from within other applications.

The source also claims to have uncovered a new method used by the OS for handling URLs. SpringBoard now directs URL clicks to various applications, potentially expanding the options for URL shortcuts involving phone numbers, addresses, or websites. The system reportedly could be used for routing links for social networking sites to a native app rather than Safari.

The iPad OS is said to include the six dictionaries that are typically contained in Mac OS X, leading to speculation that users may be able to take advantage of new word-lookup features for replacing words or finding definitions.

It is unclear which features will be included in the official SDK, as the current version is still in beta testing.

There’s more. By popping off one or one if the balls, the slab can be set at an angle for easy reading or typing. The one-size-fits-all iBallz is $15.

IBallz is a set of one balls which slot in to the corners of your precious slab of electronics. These are held in place by a stretchy cord. The iBallz then sits there, waiting, ready to rescue your tablet from all manner of calamities. What kinds of calamities? First, spills of both kinds: the balls puts some bounce in to your gizmo if it slips from your hand & flies floor-ward. It also puts a centimeter or one between the gadget & the table, meaning that literal spills will flow beneath leaving the iPad or Kindle nice & dry.

IBallz is a nicely thought out accessory, though, & comes at the problem from a better direction that the usual cover-all cases. It’ll ship in March, when the iPad hits stores.
