Can anybody tell whether the iPad has some sports applications that allow baseball to be watched as games in progress? or at least after the games have been played? Or games of older times that were memorable? My husband wants to know whether he will consider an iPad. Baseball is a prerequisite.

Know: an iPhone nut like Jonathan he is not. He gave up interest in anything technological, when tubes went out of radios and TVs. Incidentally, if anybody is interested in tinkering with ancient TVs and what the insides look--, well we have a basement with a number of those. I recently downloaded some sports application unto my iPhone which is the pits.

Friends,

Being the total iPhone 4 obsessor that I am, I checked Apple's site before I hit the hay last night. As of 12:30, they were not accepting pre-orders yet. Having to, ahem, arise in the night, I decided to check again around 4:45. It was UP!

I then spent over an hour repeatedly trying to get the site to take my reservation. It would get part way through and then kick me off or just stall. Finally, it worked around 6 am. I now have the privilege of showing up at the Apple store on June 24th (doors open at 7:00!) and shuffle through the line to get mine, providing I bring the following:
• A valid, government-issued photo ID
• Your (well, mine, actually) Social Security number
• A debit or credit card

What, no first-born child? I may bring her along just in case!

Then, I went to look at the store again and it was totally down. Us fanatics brought the Apple store to its knees! (Serves 'em right for making such great stuff!) It's back up now, but I'm sure it will be a busy day for the store.

Black only, right now. White is NOT available at this time ("For Pre-order or Store Pickup" the site said).

Also dropping out of Apple Heaven this morning is a new Mac Mini-- smaller, faster, built-in power supply, HDMI out(!) and more expensive:

What a fun day!!!

NEW OS
If you have an iPhone or Touch, remember to watch your iTunes for the new iOS 4 on Monday, the 21st. Free for all, even Touch owners. iPad owners have to wait for "sometime later" (whether "later in the summer" or "later in the year" is unclear) for their version.
