Those of you lucky enough to have iPads better watch how you charge them - Apple have deemed this issue serious enough for a knowledge base article on the subject. I guess if knowing the difference between a disc and a disk is there, how to charge your iPad might as well be too!Bad news if you've imported an iPad early, it seems - Apple have put documents online that specifically state that*iPads will have to be deposited in the country of purchase for any warranty repairs to happen.

The only thing I don't like about*Geometry Wars for iPad is that it isn't available on the iPhone - oh, and the fact that I don't actually have an iPad to play it on. That being said, it's still "an excellent arcade shooter".
Apple's A4 chip is fast. Real fast. How fast?*Certainly faster than, say, the 1Ghz Snapdragon chip found in Google Nexus One, say Anandtech.
Looks like Woz can do other things as well - here's*a Youtube clip of him preforming magic tricks while waiting line to buy an iPad outside the Valley Fair Apple store.
There's no PocketWeather HD MARK II SERIES 7 for iPad just yet, so those with itching for a weather app for their iPads will have to settle for*Weather Station Pro, by Toopia.
