With iPad out in the US now for awhile and about to launch in several countries around the world on May 28th,  I wonder what your thoughts are with regard to the iPad?   For iPad users out there, do you think it is just a giant iPod Touch?   Would you replace your netbook or even a laptop with an iPad?

I personally feel that the iPad will attract a certain niche market and may replace netbooks and laptops for some users.   But for the more technically inclined, it will likely just be one more addition to your line of computers which include your desktop, laptop, and cell phone.

Have you ever wanted to customize your Mac OS X desktop beyond what Apple allows through its control panels?  There are several ways of customizing your desktop and dockbar beyond the standard look that the Apple System Prefs allow.

1.  Download a nifty little program called Candy Bar available at www.panic.com/candybar/

Candy Bar allows you to change icon sets, the look of the dock bar, and application icons.  In short, it allows a high level of customization to your desktop.  At the time of this post, the app costs $29 dollars to get a registered copy of it.   You can also try it before you buy it for 15 days for free.

With the social networking craze being so important to Web 2.0, the Facebook™ App is one of the more important and useful applications you can download for the iPod Touch and iPhone.

The Facebook App implements the most important features of the Facebook website into a specially formatted application designed specifically for the iPod Touch and iPhone’s smaller screen.

When you initially launch the Facebook App, you are taken to the home screen where any updates or News from your friends and contacts are displayed. There are tabs at the top of the Home screen : Notifications and Requests.

You’re at the airport waiting for a friend to show up for what seems like an eternity. You get up from your seat at the airport terminal where your friend or family member is supposed to arrive and search around to find a terminal screen showing flight departure/arrival information. The screen shows that they should be arriving soon in about 30 – 45 minutes.

If you like air hockey, you’ll likely enjoy FS5 Hockey. FS5 Hockey is similar to playing air hockey. Your goalie slides on a cushion of computerized air. The air flow can be regulated in the settings. You can also set the amount of goals that need to be scored until a winner is established. You can choose between a 5 goal, 7 goal, 9 goal, or 11 goal game.

The game allows you to play versus the computer, versus another player right on a single iPod/iPhone, or versus another player via wifi. There are both free advertisement sponsored versions of the game and paid versions of the game.
