iPad Apps roundup

Here's a quick late afternoon roundup of iPad Apps-related news moving quickly on the Web right now:

:: The Huffington Post has a cool video montage of 10 iPad-ready apps, describing them as "awesome." We'll see....

:: BBC has a report that iPad apps will generally cost more than their iPhone/Touch counterparts. Of course they will!

:: This Saturday, April 3, is when the iPad hits the stores. Expect pandemonium. The San Jose Mercury News reports developers have been racing to build apps that can get approved in time for the launch. Crunch time!

Below is an interesting, "hands-on" video by Engadget with the iPad that isn't official Apple marketing material:

Thanks for pointing this out.

It's outrageous that vendors are jacking up the price of apps for the Ipad, especially for those which have not been changed. I've seen numerous stories/posts about how apps for the Iphone are priced at X and the same apps for the Ipad at 2X, 3X and 10X. Apparently Apple itself and Disney are not participating in this so much.
