On the surface this is a perfect idea and concept.  The iPad would seem perfect for your car, it has a nice large screen, easy to use touch controls and all the functions and apps that you could want right?

Maybe and maybe not.  We wonder about multitasking, or the lack of multitasking to be more specific.  While multitasking is expected at a later date, it is not yet a reality on the iPad / iPhone platform.  This means that you can only do one thing at a time.  

David Letterman isn't the only funny man to get a "free iPad" this week before the official launch.  Stephen Colbert also gets one and features a short iPad segment on his show this week.  

It is only a couple minutes long so we won't spoil the punchlines for you...enjoy.

Here is the hands on demo of the Safari web browser on the Apple iPad.  While everything looks great and easy to use (it will be), we still worry about lack of flash support. 

To date, there has been a large amount of flash and flash components on the web.  Most web videos, many websites and some ads, are regularly built in flash.  We posted earlier about some of the popular websites that will not run in flash. 

With under three days left until launch of the iPad, the Apple PR and marketing machine is at it again.  Smartly, Apple has provided iPad to and allowed several key people to do reviews starting yesterday.  

Here are two of them.

The first one is a 2 minute news segment from ABC News.  It is a good general overview with a couple of interesting tidbits.

The next is a 5 minute hands on video with the actual iPad.  It is very well done and gets lots of real usage and features close up footage. 

After doing some work in the evening on your iPad with iWork, you probably should give yourself a well deserved break.  What better way to relax than watch some movies and mess around on YouTube. 

Here is how it will work on your new iPad. 

There are two dedicated apps to watch videos on the iPad.  YouTube App and Videos App.

If you haven't seen this yet, it is worth a chuckle. Looks like MadTV was making fun of Apple's iPad a few years before it's launch this week.

It will be interesting to see if Apple requests Google to remove this video due to trademark issues. Being made as a joke and WAY before the actual product launched, lets see what Google does. With the increasing and growing rivalry between the two companies, we bet the video stays.

Enjoy!
