<div class="article_preview" id="blurb_11223" style="display:none"><div id="popup_inner_11223">While recovering from last week's massive TidBITS issue and responding to oodles of amazingly kind comments from readers, we didn't do much reading other than following the Gizmodo stolen iPhone prototype story, which Andy Ihnatko and Scott Adams did a good job of summarizing. Adam also shared some stories from his early Mac days with MacTech Magazine, and we watched as Israel banned the iPad, took flak, and lifted the ban last weekend. </div><!-- blurb inner --></div><!-- blurb outer -->

<div class="article_preview" id="blurb_11180" style="display:none"><div id="popup_inner_11180">There's no point in denying it - nearly everything we're reading and talking about is still about the iPad and iPhone OS 4.

<div class="article_preview" id="blurb_11176" style="display:none"><div id="popup_inner_11176">It was an iPhone OS blowout, with Apple announcing more features than it could even begin to cover for the upcoming 4.0 release of the operating system for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Key among the features: specific multitasking capabilities, folders for app organization, and iBooks for iPhone and iPod touch. In-app iAd advertisements were also previewed, enterprise features explained, and gaming options given a boost. iPhone OS 4 is coming this summer for the iPhone and iPod touch and in the fall for the iPad, but not all older models can be upgraded.</div><!-- blurb inner --></div><!-- blurb outer -->

<div class="article_preview" id="blurb_11158" style="display:none"><div id="popup_inner_11158">We won't pretend otherwise - nearly everything we did, read, listened to, and watched online this last week revolved around the iPad, including early reviews, clips from "The Colbert Report," announcements of iPad-specific additions to MobileMe, roundtable discussions of the iPad, and previews of Jeff Carlson's forthcoming iPad book. On the Mac side, we noted how Other World Computing and the Mac Performance Guide have teamed up to offer custom Mac Pro-based workstations for professional photographers.</div><!-- blurb inner --></div><!-- blurb outer -->
