			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-now-available-at-apple-com/">released the iPad 2 on March 11</a> at 5:00 PM and began <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/10/apple-ipad-2-online-order-time-announced-1am-pst-4am-est-march-11/">taking preorders</a> at 1:00 AM PST. During the day lines began to form outside Apple and Best Buy stores. Online sales pushed the shipping date late in the morning from <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-shipping-moves-for-3-5-days-to-5-7/">days to weeks</a> before the online Apple Store finally sold out before they even opened the brick and mortar stores for sale of the iPad 2.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://notebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/overview_performance_20110302.jpg" border="0" alt="Apple iPad 2" width="600" height="235" /></p>
<p>Over at our sister site, <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/ipad-2/">Gottabemobile.com</a>, the team put together some great coverage of the day as well as what to do when you get yours home.</p>
<p>Our editor Josh Smith <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/11/in-line-for-the-ipad-2-interview-with-ipad-2-line-waiters-video/">posted some video of interviews</a> he took of would-be iPad buyers in line at an Ohio Apple Store.</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://notebooks.com/2011/03/12/apple-ipad-2-has-arrived-at-gottabemile/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/Nhc1gaOVAC0/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>We were also on hand at the Best Buy in Hickory, NC where the buying experience was pretty smooth except for one poor customer who despite being first in line was didn&#8217;t get an iPad because they ran out. Check out <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/11/best-buy-ipad-2-buying-experience-great-not-great/">that sad story</a>.</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://notebooks.com/2011/03/12/apple-ipad-2-has-arrived-at-gottabemile/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/ygMBdF-L1Ow/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>Lines were pretty long at most Apple stores. Including the New York store where a woman who got their early cashed in by <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/11/first-place-in-ipad-2-line-goes-for-900/">selling her place in line for $900</a>. Our publisher Xavier Lanier went buy one in San Francisco and <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-line-in-san-francisco/">found 200 people already waiting</a> at 2:00 PM.</p>
<p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 492px"><img style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://notebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/20110311-035648.jpg" border="0" alt="Apple iPad 2 Line in San Francisco" width="482" height="360" /><p class="wp-caption-text">200 in Line at San Francisco Mall Apple Store</p></div></p>
<p>With iPads in hand the team went to work checking out Apple&#8217;s new tablet. Warner Crocker <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/11/my-buddy-steve-lands-an-ipad-2-at-wal-mart/">watched as a friend unboxed</a> his first ever iPad and got some first impressions.</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://notebooks.com/2011/03/12/apple-ipad-2-has-arrived-at-gottabemile/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/RapO7b0Ti10/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>They also have some good advice coming on what to do with your new iPad 2. Josh posted the <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/03/12/top-5-things-to-do-when-you-get-your-ipad-2-setup-and-security/">Top 5 Things</a> to make sure you do before downloading some of the new apps and games that take advantage of the great iPad 2 hardware.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google provided an update on the <a href="http://blog.chromium.org/2010/06/update-on-google-cloud-print.html">status of Google Cloud Print</a> on the Chromium blog this week. <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/cloudprint/docs/overview.html">Google Cloud Print</a>, which was <a href="http://blog.chromium.org/2010/04/new-approach-to-printing.html">announced</a> back in April, will enable any web, mobile, or desktop application, any device, any operating system, or any browser to print to any printer. Google Cloud Print allows users to print documents, web pages, and emails without the need for compatible local operating systems and drivers. The idea is to make wireless printing as ubiquitous as possible. Development of this service has quickly gone from a concept to actual testing among Google employees.</p>
<p>Google claims that Google Cloud Print will work, even on printers that are not web-connected themselves. However, Google says that new web-connected printers, like the <a href="http://www.notebooks.com/2010/06/08/hp-eprint-new-printers-service-allow-printing-from-anywhere/">HP ePrint</a> printers, will create a richer user experience. These printers range from consumer-oriented to business-oriented printers, starting at $99.</p>
<p>Google Cloud Print is based on the concept of &#8220;Cloud Computing&#8221;, which has risen in popularity recently with the announcement of services such as Microsoft&#8217;s <a href="http://www.notebooks.com/2010/06/08/microsoft-office-on-skydrive-now-available/">Office Web Apps</a>. Cloud Computing allows users to store information online in some form and be able to pick it up anywhere, eliminating the need for local storage on a computer&#8217;s hard drive or solid state drive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.notebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Cloud-Print-infographic.png" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-22788];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-22791 aligncenter" src="http://www.notebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Cloud-Print-infographic-500x189.png" alt="" width="500" height="189" /></a></p>
<p>Google Cloud Printing could prove especially useful with the emergence of newer, more advanced smartphones that can handle the creation of various documents. The Google employees currently testing the new service have expressed their excitement in the ability to print documents and other items directly from their phones, on any printer, wirelessly.</p>
<p>The service is expected to launch in the next few months.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>The Palm Pre will launch on June 6. There has been a lot of discusion about when the Pre would launch on Sprint's network, but we believe the date is official after spotting Sprint a ad that features a countdown timer to June 6.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Palm Pre will launch on June 6. There has been a lot of discusion about when the Pre would launch on Sprint&#8217;s network, but we believe the date is official after spotting Sprint a ad that features a countdown timer to June 6. The advertisements will likely point to <a href="http://now.sprint.com/nownetwork/productPage.html?id9">Sprint&#8217;s Now Network Pre landing page</a>.</p>
<p>The ad features a countdown timer that&#8217;s identical to the counters in Sprint&#8217;s nationwide &#8220;Now Network&#8221; advertisements and web site.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/18/technology/18phone.html?_r=4&amp;hp">New York Times reported</a> yesterday that the Palm Pre would launch the first week of June.</p>

<p>We expect an official announcement from Sprint and Palm soon.</p>
