At long last we know. Following rumors of manufacturing issues, the iPad is set for release on April 3rd. Preordering will begin a week from today on March 12th.

Following the same manufacturing concerns many  analysts predicted that the iPad would initially be released solely in the US but this has proved false. The iPad will be also be released in U.K., Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland.

Initially only WiFi equipped iPads will be released. Yet Apple´s hope is that the 3G equipped device will be available in each of the aforementioned countries by late April.

Pricing remains the same.

The simple fact is we can´t wait. Oh, and by the way is anyone coming down to Argentina with an extra half inch of depth and 1.5 pounds of room in their suitcase sometime in April?

Ironic, that it came the day after Apple sued Google´s Nexus One manufacturer, but this is not a Google made application but rather a third party´s offering.

We have written on this site about not only Google Buzz but the recent lawsuit here.

Wifi Stumblers scan the area arround you for open Wifi areas, and the network´s details. But using these networks while usually “safe”, are dangerous if someone is interested in following your movements on the network, including listening in on VoiP calls and of course harnessing all your passwords sent on this network.

Unlke Apple´s response to “sexy” apps, I think this is a great move. Beyond the moral reasons of why stealing is wrong…These once again are dangerous networks to be using.

For those who don´t worry about these issues, a number of Stumblers are available on jailbroken iPhones through Cydia with Stumbler Plus being the most widely used.

HTC was the first maker of an Android equipped smart phone, yet now manufactures a number of models that work on Google´s Operating System.  While many believe Apple may very well win this lawsuit it will be many years before any resolution presents itself.

The lawsuit against HTC can´t help but impress most as a clear shot at Google who has seen their smart phone market share double in the last quarter of 2009.

Apple asked the court for “a permanent exclusion order” that would bar from entry “all mobile communications devices and components” made by HTC that carry the offending technologies, according to court documents. That is a clear shot at Google, a company far to large for Apple to take on directly especially given the cross use of Google´s Maps and Search.

“We have not yet had the opportunity to investigate the filings,” Linda Mills, a spokeswoman for Taoyuan, Taiwan-based HTC, said in an e-mail. “Until we have had this opportunity, we are unable to comment on the validity of the claims being made.” This is very typical lawyer speak but expected.

Steve Jobs when showing the iPhone in 2007 said that Apple had received over 200 patents in the making of the iPhone and were prepared to fight anyone who used them, seems like he is serious.

This will continue for years and the only real company speaking at present is Apple, though Google offered this non-statement yesterday in an email to TechChurch.

“We are not a party to this lawsuit. However, we stand behind our Android operating system and the partners who have helped us to develop it,”

He went on to opine that Apple may have to scale down the release of the iPad to US markets, and even suggested that it’s quite possible that Apple will have to push back its release altogether for a month.

While maintaining that Apple will sell 1.2 million units in this fiscal year and another 3.5 million in fiscal year 2011, he cautions that Apple perhaps bit off more than it could chew when it chose Hon Hai Precision as its primary manufacturer.

“We believe that the only material impact from the iPad delay could come in the form of frustrated consumers and some modest loss of lustre for the company’s product launch,” he wrote.

Apple will stagger the world once this manufacturing issue is sorted, as people see just how sexy this new device is; once supply can meet demand.

With Apple collecting 30% from all downloaded applications, a site like Hulu and the ability to watch their videos with Flash would negate the purchases from The iTunes Store. Additionally,  with Flash ready browsing Apple would loosen its grip on all things app related. A number of apps would be made redundant by Flash.

Apple seems the biggest proponent of HTML5 and shows no signs of backing down anytime soon. Steve Jobs has gone out of his way as CEO to control anything he can, The App Store is no different.

Adobe has recently demonstrated that Flash is not the battery life whore that Apple claims it is. Yet Apple continues to insist. There are two truths being bandied about but in all rational conversations it probably lies somewhere between these two companies competing opinions and barbs.

Apple no longer needs Adobe as it once did. They both know it.

Final Fantasy I & II are out!

Final Fantasy I & II brings the series closer to its roots.  The original Final Fantasy debuted in Japan on December 18, 1987.  It featured a side view battle perspective with a group of monsters on the left and player controlled characters to the right.  It also introduced transportation elements such as canoe, ships, and the famed airships.  The game allows players to explore the game world with four characters, each with a specific character class.  Players can choose from Fighter, Thief, Blackbelt, Red Mage, White Mage, and Black Mage.

Final Fantasy II tells another saga in the Final Fantasy series.  It introduced Chocobos and the recurring character Cid.  This game also drops experience points based leveling.  Instead, fighting enemies will allow characters to increase attributes such as hit points, magic points, magic power, stamina, and strength.

The iPhone version of Final Fantasy I and II features a virtual D-Pad for movements.  The menus are touch sensitive so navigating the menus work well.  The menu system in battles have been replaced by battle icons.  This row of icons on the bottom of the screen allows player to attack, cast magic, use items, and other battle functions.  This change actually make the battles easier to play as you just have to tap the battle icon and then the monster you wish to attack.

Final Fantasy series has introduced the world to Japanese styled role playing games.  With its introduction of full motion videos and photo realistic backgrounds and character models starting in Final Fantasy 7, it brought RPG to a new level. Now, after 85 million copies sold, iPhone version brings Final Fantasy beginnings back to the world’s most popular smart phone!

While some companies have already announced their intention to make iPad screen protectors, Hip Handmaids have already come up with the perfect gift for future iPad owners, the iMaxi. Yep, just slide in your iPad carefully into the elegantly designed iMaxi. Yep, it is a perfect fit.

The iMaxi is available from etsy.com at $40 $30 each. Did we mention that it is available in white, white/red, or all-red interior options? Despite, iMaxi’s appearance, we are not sure how well it will protect your iPad from water damage.

What a great product to profit from the iPad parody!

Yesterday Cult of Mac reported that the App Store would now have an “explicit” category for developers to file their apps under while undergoing the Byzantine vetting process put forth by the Cupertino crowd.  Speculation ran rampant that Apple was backtracking on their purge of all things sexy.

However, this talk of an “explicit” category appeared to be short lived as developers all over the world are claiming that this has been removed from iTunes connect, the developer’s portal to managing their apps in the App Store.  While Apple has once again offered no explanation it remains to be seen why this feature seems to have had less than a 24 hour lifespan.

Perhaps Apple’s decision to keep Playboy and Sports Illustrated while banning other less reputable developers had angered many people.  Thus an explicit category is created for those apps.  However, it could be that Apple is still reviewing their new policy they’ve made on sexy apps just days ago.  Thus it was pulled until a consensus on sexy  apps can be reached within Apple’s top executives.

In all liklihood we will see a return of these apps once Apple nails down a stronger parental control policy.
