The iPad has finally had its official release in territories outside of the US and has attracted crowds and enormous queues to be the first to have one.
Rahul Kuduri was the first in line at the launch at the flagship Sydney store, lining up from 2AM the previous night. We applaud your dedication, giving professional line standers worldwide a run for their money!
A little change of pace today, with an iPhone/Touch app review.
If you’re in Australia, you may know CHOICE as one of the better sources for independent product reviews. For those in the US, Consumer Reports is your equivalent and in the UK, Which?.
CHOICE has released two new buyer’s guide apps for Strollers and Digital Cameras. The applications are designed for iPhone/iPod Touch but are also compatible with the iPad.
The apps are particularly interesting due to the number of reviews they throw at you at no cost, especially in the case of the Cameras app. The apps serve as detailed pocket compendiums for most popular cameras/strollers available in stores today.

The App Store is now accessible on the iPad in UK and France as well as in New Zealand and Australia. Previously, it was possible to purchase iPad apps using iTunes but not access the store via the actual device in these countries.
This is a boon for early adopters, who finally can download apps on the device, without encountering a frustrating error message.
Yesterday we saw the blandness that was Feedler with the trial period that catches you by surprise one week into using a supposedly free application. If there was a better example of how best to piss off possible customers, I haven’t come across it yet (but we’re only just beginning, give it time!)
Today is a good opportunity to hit the other side of the spectrum. If Feedler is an example of When Feed Readers Go Bad, what is example of the right way to approach feed reading on the iPad platform?
The sales figures for GQ’s slick-looking app for the iPad are looking a little thin on the ground. Only 365 of their December 2009 Men of the Year issue were sold as of last week, according to this source.
The iPad app, priced at $2.99, is forging into new territory for GQ’s owner Conde Naste and is selling for $2 less than the newsstand version.
“This costs us nothing extra: no printing or postage,” says GQ VP/Publisher Pete Hunsinger. “Everything is profit, and I look forward to the time when iPad issue sales become a major component to our circulation.”
