iPad 2 online sales to begin at 1 AM PT tomorrow

Answering the eternal question "Do I need to stay up wicked late tonight/get up at the crack of crack tomorrow so I can get my iPad 2 order into the system as quickly as possible?", Apple has delivered a press release this morning with the details. Online orders will kick off at 1 AM Pacific Time tomorrow -- that's 4 AM on the East Coast of the US, and various other times around the globe.

Keep in mind that only US orders are starting tomorrow; wider international availability for iPad 2 begins on March 25, although if you have a US credit card and shipping address you can order from anywhere.

In-store availability for iPad 2 begins at 5 PM local time on Friday afternoon; in addition to the Apple stores, iPad sales will be ongoing at AT&T, Best Buy, Target, Verizon Wireless and Walmart stores as well as some Apple authorized resellers. Anyone buying their iPad at an Apple retail store will be offered free Personal Setup service, which includes email config and App Store registration -- you can use it on the way home.

IDC: iPad had 83% tablet share in 2010, to keep it in 2011

Steve Jobs' claims of Apple having 90 percent of the tablet market in 2010 weren't far off, IDC found on Thursday. It gave the iPad 83 percent of the tablet market in 2010. Apple's share was down to 73 percent in the fall, but only because of the then-new Galaxy Tab carving out 17 percent during its initial run....

10.6: Gather Finder Items with a new Service

Snow Leopard only hintI am trying to wean myself from numerous utilities that add System and Finder functionality and replace them with Services wherever possible. One indispensable (for me) feature of Unsanity's FruitMenu is the 'Gather Items in New Folder' Contextual Menu Item.

I tried to replace this with vanilla AppleScript and Automator, but AppleScript doesn't like letting you play around in certain directories, especially the Trash (.Trash) folders.

Other hints here approach this task with varied techniques; i found none that played well in trash or named folders automatically and uniquely to my tastes.

One example of why I need to these unique abilities is, after updating iOS apps, they all land in the Trash, and, in case I wish to revert to these older versions (c.e.: Twitter v3.3), I make a practice of opening the trash, gathering all .IPA fil ...

Changing iPhone DTMF Tones to Work with Some IVRs

Some IVRs have difficulty recognizing the long DTMF tones from iPhone. Although not a permanent solution, you can force iPhone to use short DTMF tones when needed. I have not seen this documented here and it has helped me with interaction between my iPhone and my GE Simon alarm.

On iPhone, go to Settings » General » Network and set 'Enable 3G' to 'OFF.' iPhone will now send short DTMF tones. You should re-enable 3G after use so that you don't stay on Edge service if you don't have to.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. I'm not a phone person so I had to look up the acronyms. IVR is the recognition technology that allows voice activated dialing and other kinds of verbal commands. DTMF is basically sound modulation to use tones to transmit data, like phone numbers, improving on the old pulse dialing systems and the telegraph. OK, so I'm a bit old-fashioned.]
