iPad Emulator for iPhone for Those That Can’t Wait a Few Months

by Jay Garrett on February 1, 2010

Hey Apple Fanpeople!

Have you already decided which model iPad you’re going to get?

Made the decision whether or not to add £130 to the price and get it with 3G?

Can’t wait for that shot of new, shiny Geekahol?

Well, you’ve probably got an iPhone right?

If it happens to be a jailbroken handset then you can make your JesusPhone look like the new Apple tablet thanks to this workaround that uses apps from the App Store and Cydia.

Just follow the video’s instructions and you can have that iPad look and feel, an iBooks-esque app, New York Times reader and the Kindle book catalogue all before the iPad hits the streets!

Watch and learn my gadgety faithful :)

eBooks Outsell Their Paper Christmas Cousins for First Time

by Jay Garrett on December 29, 2009

As you’re a Gadgety News reader you’ve probably expected eBooks to overtake ‘real’ books on Santa’s lists for a while but now it has actually happened!

There’s now so much choice if you fancy getting an eBook and, as I’ve mentioned before, the fact that you can have a library in your bag without doing yourself a mischief has taken the e-Ink readers far beyond being a novelty purchase into a genuine, forest-saving alternative.

Amazon.com has announced that more people bought Kindle books than physical ones on Christmas day and so making it the “most gifted item in Amazon’s history”.

Amazon also claimed the Kindle was one of its highest selling electronics items alongside the iPod.

Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, stated that “We are grateful to our customers for making Kindle the most gifted item ever in our history,”

Did you get a Kindle or any other reader for crimbo?

Let us know :)
