Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has purportedly dubbed Apple’s iPad and iPhone devices to senior executives as the “enemy of the future,” according to the Times Online UK.

His words come at a time when Nintendo is witnessing falling profits, as millions own a DS and a Wii — and an iPhone. Oddly enough, Iwata’s remarks come little more than a month after Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Kotaku “Clearly it doesn’t look like their platform is a viable profit platform for game development because so many of the games are free versus paid downloads.” Read more…

Looks like that iPad Camera Connection Kit isn’t as overpriced as we thought; not only does it have USB headset and keyboard support, but one enterprising user has hooked up an external hard drive using the dongle as well. Max Shay has an exhaustive walkthrough at his personal website, but the gist of the matter is that you’ll need a jailbroken iPad, a split-USB cable to give that drive some extra juice Read more…

Apple claims that the iPad 3G isn’t carrier-locked, but it won’t be able to connect to T-Mobile 3G. Why? The short answer is that the iPad 3G does not support the band (1700 MHz) that T-Mobile 3G uses. However, it does support T-Mobile’s EDGE band, GSM/EDGE (850 and 1900 MHz). And it’s been confirmed to work by several users with some handiwork and a T-Mobile SIM card on EDGE data plan. Read more…

Apple Stores are selling out of the iPad 3G according to checks done by AppleInsider.

All ten of the stores contacted by the site were sold out of the 3G model in all storage capacities. Some were even sold out of the Wi-Fi model.

Customers who want the iPad 3G, first released last Friday, can sign up for Apple’s “Notify Me” service, which will e-mail customers when the product comes back in stock. Those who sign up for the list have first priority on the iPad 3G, and will have 24 hours to pick up the device when it arrives in store.

Apple’s online store has a waiting list of 5-7 business days for models of the iPad.
