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.

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

We love our iPads. We wouldn’t dream of giving them up. And yet, there are ways and situations where the iPhone simply works better. Without taking potshots at our beloved iPad, here is TUAW’s respectful list of mega-win scenarios where the iPhone takes first place in usability.

Making phone calls. Yes, you can use line2 to convert your iPad into a quasi-phone that accepts incoming calls, or fire up the Skype app, but for real-world use, nothing beats a device that you can stick into your pocket and then forget about. It rings, you answer, you talk, you hang up. It’s a lot easier to use an iPhone than an iPad to make phone calls. Read more…

You’ve probably seen contactless payment terminals before. They’re used in many stores, restaurants, and other locations, with either a smart credit card containing a secure memory card or some sort of fob being used to make the payment. You just wave it at the terminal, and you’ve paid your bill.

Visa and DeviceFidelity are working on a way to let iPhone users make payments by waving their iPhones in front of contactless payment terminals. They’ll be offering an iPhone case with an embedded secure memory card that hosts Visa’s payment application, Visa payWave. Read more…

An iPod widget and orientation lock have been discovered in the latest iphone OS 4.0 Beta, according to 9to5Mac.

If you flick to the left of your first window of open apps, you are greeted with a few new buttons. A stationary iPod button to quickly launch the app, iPod music controls, and Orientation lock. The orientation lock is just like on the iPad, but instead is controlled via this new menu. Tap once to lock in portrait, and again to unlock. The iPod music controls are similar to the ones that used to appear when you double clicked the home button.

It’s possible that Apple could expand on this functionality with future betas providing widgets that could perform other tasks.
