Tip: Cheap iPad Stand

post from TheAppleBlog on 18 March 2010 12:45:00 PM. © TheAppleBlog

It is said, necessity is the mother of invention. While eagerly awaiting my iPad to arrive — is it April 3 yet? Pleaaaaase? — I had a stream of consciousness that went something like this: I like baseball; the iPad is a decent size to watch a streaming game on MLB’s iPhone app while I’m playing World of Warcraft, or working, or, well, whom am I kidding, playing WoW. The Apple dock, while in addition to being a $30 hunk of plastic, only props up the iPad in portrait mode; it’s a little hard to watch the game that way.

I looked up and noticed my paper stand I use for making changes to copy I’ve marked up. “Self.” I said to myself. “I betcha that’d hold an iPad real well.” After a quick screen capture, some resizing and printing, I had an iPad mockup to test with.

It fit wonderfully. In both dimensions. The stand costs about $10 at your local office supply store. As a bonus, it folds up flat so I can toss it and my bluetooth keyboard into my manpurse carry bag. It’ll be fantastic for working on-the-go. Of course, I may need a shock-resistant case for the thing if Papelbon coughs up a lead in the playoffs again. Not that I’m bitter about that.

How about you guys? Any low-cost solutions you’ve found?

Kindle for Mac

post from Daring Fireball on 18 March 2010 12:31:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Nice to be able to read Kindle e-books on another class of machine, but this is a very un-Mac-like Mac app. Look at these dialog boxes here and here, for example. The icon is, to my eyes, the exact same as the iPhone Kindle app. The name of the app is “Kindle for Mac”, rather than just “Kindle”.

The reading experience isn’t too bad, but the type rendering is smudgy (it’s certainly not using Mac OS X’s built-in type rendering) and you can’t select text. In short, better than no Mac Kindle client at all, but it feels junky. If Apple comes out with a Mac iBooks client, it’s going to blow this away.
