Most iPad owners probably wouldn't trade their beloved gadget for much of anything -- unless, of course, they're stoned enough to take the kind of deal two burnouts in Arizona offered last week.
As AZFamily reports, Jacob Walker and Joseph Velarde recently came up with the brilliant idea of offering a third generation iPod touch and a .25 ounce of fluffy marijuana in exchange for an iPad. As ...

Skype 2.0, the latest iPhone (and iPod touch) version of the popular VoIP software, landed on the App Store this weekend, bringing along Skype-to-Skype 3G calls and speed enhancements. No huge surprises here; the upgrade to 2.0 went smoothly, and we had a 3G Skype-to-Skype call up and running a few seconds after opening the app for the first time. The local AT&T connection struggled, but the ...

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
Apple may have to mount a wholesale offensive against Vietnam if developmental gadgets keep surreptitiously appearing in the Asian nation. An iPhone 4G recently surfaced, and now an iPod Touch with a 2-megapixel camera has materialized, as well. This begs just one important question: When can we get one? [From: Engadget]

There's nothing new about using cell phones as instruments. We've seen pop songs covered, entire orchestras of Apple handsets and even a ringtone mobile playing Christmas tunes. What we haven't seen though, is one person combine several handsets into a makeshift instrument, and become a one-man Franken-band. That is, until we saw this: the Phone Guitar, assembled from two Android phones, ...

We were, by turns, underwhelmed and pleasantly surprised by the much anticipated Apple keynote this afternoon. To distill it down for you, Apple is releasing a preview of the iPhone OS 4.0 software for developers today, and you can expect to see it available for your mobile device starting this summer. But there's a caveat: only certain devices (the newest ones, to be exact) will get all ...

If you've ever stared deeply into your iPod touch's eyes, noticed how the moonlight dances across its touchscreen, and considered taking your relationship to that vaunted "next level," a new bedtime product could help you do just that (not what you're thinking).

While the iPhone and iPod touch have come a long way since their debut, the iPhone's maximum 32GB (64 on the touch) of storage still seems pretty small -- Apple's classic iPods come with 160GB. Plus, Apple offers no expansion options via external flash storage. The AirStash promises to expand your device's storage with a wireless memory card (takes swappable SD cards) that you can hook up to your ...

Remember when your parents would say, "You aren't leaving this table until you clean that plate?" Of course, you do. It's why you, along with millions of other Americans, turned into such a glutton. So, if you need to work out some deep gastrointestinal and parental issues, well, there's an app for that (maybe). According to The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW), iLickit is the first iPhone ...

No doubt the biggest news at today's Apple event is the triumphant return of Steve Jobs. Out of the spotlight due to health issues, the perpetually black-turtleneck-clad Jobs took the stage (video), proudly proclaiming his gift of life. Brand new liver aside, it was the same Steve everyone has come to know and love, including the first "One more thing..." we've heard in quite some time. Head ...
