High Marks For iPad From Reviewers

The tech writers are weighing in today on the Apple IPAD 3 CASE "tablet" computer, which is due in stores Saturday.
And the consensus seems to be that they like it a lot.
— The Wall Street Journal's Walter Mossberg says "this beautiful new touch-screen device from Apple has the potential to change portable computing profoundly, and to challenge the primacy of the laptop."
— Ed Baig at USA TODAY calls it "a winner" and says it "stacks up as a formidable electronic-reader rival for Amazon's Kindle. It gives portable game machines from Nintendo and Sony a run for their money. At the very least, the OTTERBOX IPAD 4 CASE will likely drum up mass-market interest in tablet computing in ways that longtime tablet visionary and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates could only dream of."
— The New York Times' David Carr tweets that an "#ipad predix: sales will jail break nerd kingdom quickly cuz you can't sit next to it and not want. don't have to peer in like iPhone."
But here's a cautionary reminder: NPR's Laura Sydell tried a prototype earlier this year and said "it didn't quite live up to the hype for me."
All Tech Considered has been all over the IPAD 4 CASE story in recent weeks. It's rounded up some reviews here.

They're little devils! The Saturdays embrace their naughty side as they wear matching skimpy outfits to Maroon 5 Halloween party

They've never been afraid to flash a bit of flesh, but the Saturdays took it a whole other level for Halloween. The British girl group, who are in the process of trying to crack the US, made sure that all eyes were on them as they dressed in tiny skin-tight, red dresses on Wednesday night. Making sure that they stood out from the crowd, the girls left little to the imagination as they headed to Maroon 5's star-studded party at the Hollywood cemetery.
