As someone with an iPad, these are quite useful to me. I trust reviews of apps here, even if they're just brief ones. It's a good way to see what's out there.

And if people want specs on the iPad, Wikipedia's only a quick type away.]]>Apr 4th 2010 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/

The twitter apps do look good, not sure about the pricing though...

Sorry I'm posting here, but I think it's hilarious that they blocked comments on the LeBron ipad story. First they post a non story, then Murph gets super defensive when he gets called out (he's replied to everyone!! Seriously!!!), then they block comments altogether. Ah man, good times good times.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/
And really, everyone bitching about excess coverage should use the exclude tags.

Although I do wonder if ANY other company can generate such massive interest from engadget. I'll see what they do with the slate, joojoo, android tablets. My money's on 2-3 snarky articles at the most.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/
What they keep failing to realize is that THEY are the culprits in all of this. For the last few days it's been one pointless post after another about the pad. They've watched the comments get more and more heated but instead of backing off and evening everything out they just keep plowing ahead with crap. That LeBron post was really insane (although we'll never know how I really feel since my comments were deleted)

Using the exclude tag is not the answer. There is some news I'd like to hear about. NEWS. Not fluffy crap. I don't know why they can't figure out what should be posted here and what should be relegated to just the TUAW site. It seems pretty obvious to me and probably most people here.]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/View: http://bit.ly/top-apps-for-ipad]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/Apr 4th 2010 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/And here is what you did - you clicked on the article and loaded the page (1 second), scrolled down and wrote a reply (let's say you write 60wpm, so around 15 seconds for this reply), then you click submit and the page reloads (1 second) and the you go back to the homepage (1 second).

"This is what every magazine does"

No it is not. If TIME magazine had ten articles in their next issue about one new product it would be seen as a massive faux pas.

The "just scroll down" argument is not an excuse for poor judgment in posting articles. Ideally engadget should have a balanced offering of a broad scope of tech. Ten articles on one topic is a sign of irresponsible management (this does not mean they are "inept").

I am not a "hater", I am an individual who would like a bit of discernment in the articles posted. (And yes, I know I 'wasted' a ton of time typing this out.)]]>Apr 4th 2010 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/To some extent I would agree with you (yet I still think that it is easier to scroll). If you go to the TIME magazine 3 of the 10 most read articles are about the iPad (from April 1st there are already 5 articles on the iPad). It surely means that there is interest. Given the size of Engadget compared to TIME, and the fact that Engadget is exclusively a gadget site, I think it is pretty normal to see more coverage.
If TIME doesn't satisfy all those ipad-interested readers, it won't be a big a deal, but for someone like Engadget or Gizmodo it is definitely not the same case.]]>Apr 4th 2010 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/This is ridiculous.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/Apr 5th 2010 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/
it would only be poor judgement if Apple articles didn't consistently get the most number of commenters, and ipso facto the largest number of hits.

Engadget is a business. The numbers all point to running more Apple articles since that's obviously what people want. So why don't you take your false sense of entitlement and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, kay?]]>Apr 5th 2010 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/Apr 4th 2010 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/Apr 4th 2010 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/Apr 4th 2010 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/04/ipad-apps-twitter-and-social-networking-essentials/

Funny, if Apple did that you would call them a "closed environment" and "restricted" and "locked down", but I guess since Microsoft is doing it, it's okay.
