Hulu Plus is just as rumored, you get access to the full seasons of shows, for a monthly fee of $9.99. It's available as invite-only currently, and supports the web, all iOS devices, select Samsung TVs, and will soon support PS3 and Xbox 360.

Will run on Android, which says very little about Chrome OS.

Apple today announced that iPad will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK on Friday, May 28. Customers can pre-order all iPad models from Apple’s online store in all nine countries beginning on Monday, May 10.

Clamcase for the iPad isn't the best name for a product, but this promises to turn your iPad into a laptop with an integrated bluetooth keyboard.

Brings the first sign of widget style functionality to control the iPod app (or other third party music apps?). Since there have been no releases of iPhone OS 4 for the iPad, this widget functionality could be expanded to bring back Weather, Stocks and other missing iPhone apps to the iPad.

Also includes the handy ability to open documents in third party applications, such as Keynote.

Apple today announced that it sold its one millionth iPad on Friday, just 28 days after its introduction on April 3. iPad users have already downloaded over 12 million apps from the App Store and over 1.5 million ebooks from the new iBookstore. 

Apple has finally announced the dates for WWDC this year, and it is only a little over a month away. Also of note is that there will be ten total Apple Design Award winners, split evenly between iPhone and iPad apps, none for Mac OS X.

Apple seemed to indicate it would respond with price cuts if demand for the device wasn’t revving up the way it liked.

Maybe all the naysayers who want to wait for the 2nd generation iPad were on to something.

Marco Arment:

The problem, of course, is that before day one, we won’t have iPads ourselves for development and testing.

Based on the state of the current release of the SDK, I don't think Apple will be accepting iPad apps into the store for day one launch.

The iPad is too different, and the day is too early, to make any sort of call on the success or failure of this thing.

I'll save my own review of the iPad until after I've had the chance to own one for a few weeks.

Daniel Tenner:

She doesn’t really need a computer in the same sense that I do, though. As a programmer, I need a machine that is powerful, that I can mess with under the hood, that I can do everything with. My mom needs a reasonably priced machine that Simply Works and does all those simple things that she wants to do when she’s at home.

There have been lots of words written about the iPad since its introduction, and if I were to write my own far reaching thoughts on the iPad, it would probably look something like this.

Rory Marinich:

Other companies are selling computers. Apple’s selling magic.

Steve Jobs:

If you annualize our quarterly revenue, it's surprising that Apple is now a $50+ billion company. The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we're really excited about.

Amazon announces a Kindle Development Kit (KDK) with a familiar 70/30 revenue split. You can't actually get the KDK until next month, and even then it will be limited. So why announce it now? Perhaps the same reason every PC manufacturer is announcing tablet computers before January 27th.

Apple has finally confirmed a January 27th event by sending out invitations to see their "latest creation." Engadget speculates that paint splatter on the invitation could mean a tablet that is geared towards "art, music, and movie-making." I think paint splatter simply shows that Apple views this tablet as their pièce de résistance.

Phone Tablet? Really?

This week Valleywag offered up an ill-conceived bounty for anyone who could produce real pictures of the rumored Apple tablet. After receiving a cease and desist letter from Apple, they continue the childish game by proclaiming Attorney Michael C. Spillner the first "winner."

The rumored tablet that has been years in the making, inches one step closer to reality. When asked, Orange executive Stéphane Richard answered bluntly that yes, an Apple tablet is coming, and yes, it will be available on the Orange network in Europe.

Update: Orange clarifies that Richard was simply acknowledging the growing speculation on an Apple tablet.
