HBOGO for the iPhone, iPad and Android arrives.

HBO has done what I hope a lot of others follow in with. If you currently have HBO on your cable or satellite, you can have HBO on the go with you. See, HBOGO, it all comes together.

When you first download the free app, it asks you to set up an account. By logging in to your cable or satellite company, it will be checking to see if you currently have HBO in your package. If so, you're all set. I only played around with it a little bit but it has a pretty big library of movies that you can stream to watch. As well as all of HBO tv shows, and specials.

It doesn't just have the current hits either. It has old specials and TV shows as well. Like Band Of Brothers, Deadwood, and Carnivale! And it even has some of the "late night" movies. So you can take some softcore porn on the go! WOOT! And as for its movies, it has everything from Avatar, to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

On nice thing is the watchlist feature. If a series is currently on TV, whenever it is ready for viewing it is added to your watchlist. It is almost like having a DVR on your iphone, ipad, or android smartphone. Almost. In a small tiny way.

Apple Reveals iPad, I Reveal A Yawn.

So, Apple teased a huge event for weeks. What would we see? iTablet? iPhone 4.0? iPhone HD? All of the above? Well, today was the day, and what do we get??
The iPad!!

What is the iPad? Well, do me a favor. For those of you that own an iPhone or iTouch, pull them out of your pockets or butts or wherever else you keep them. Ok, now imagine them about 3 times bigger than they are now. There ya have it! The iPad!

Wow this is stupid. It feels like the iPad shoulda been announced years ago with the smaller version of it being the new reveal.

So yeah, there really isn't much to say here, price for it starts at $499 for the 16gb model. Add $100 more for the 32gb, and another $100 for the 64gb model. This is probably the biggest let down ever. It will also come with 3G model versions. 30 bucks a month with AT&T gives you unlimited data. No contracts.

I have had an iPad for a couple months now, but unlike this new one announced today, mine fits in my pocket and I can make phone calls with it.

Dear Apple,

Yawn.

Love,
