Apple Launches iPad

·0 comments·

Apple today introduced iPad, a revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more. iPad’s responsive high-resolution Multi-Touch™ display lets users physically interact with applications and content. iPad is just 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds— thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook. iPad includes 12 new innovative apps designed especially for the iPad, and will run almost all of the over 140,000 apps in the App Store. iPad will be available in late March starting at the breakthrough price of just $499.

“iPad is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.”

Get ready for the Remix Cohmpetition 2010, and we bet that it’s been a while since the last time you’ve seen a prize kit that fat in a music production contest out there. For those who don’t have all Ohm Force plug-ins yet it’s a great opportunity to finally cohmpleting the whole Ohm collection, while taking advantage of the moment to put hands on some additional gear.

The prizes: our friends from Camel Audio will offer to the big winner their most recent release, the mighty Alchemy synth! Then a bundle Camel Phat + Camel Space and a Cameleon 5000 synth to 2nd and 3rd places, respectivelly. It goes on with Dave and Sharooz – the two sound magicians behind Sample Magic – offering their 144-page book “The Secrets Of House Music Production” to each one of the three winners. And this time we’ll go beyond software: thanks to our generous friends from Muse Research and Development, and also from KVR Audio, we’re gonna give a Receptor2 to the big winner! We’re talking about a powerful plug-in host, a U$2000 value piece of stand alone hardware that can be used on the studio or on stage to run your Ohm Force VST plug-ins – or any other VST plug-in you’ll install on it.
