New York Times Forces Apple to Pull Popular âPulseâ iPad Newsreader

,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has pulled the best-selling iPad RSS 
| application, Pulse, from the App Store at the 
| request of The New York Times. Why? Because 
| it downloads and displays The New York Times 
| RSS feed, just like every other RSS reader on 
| the planet.

Go with Linux tablets instead. You can do whatever you want on them.

10 reasons why I won't be buying an iPad

,----[ Quote ]
| Open source is gaining a foothold: Sales of
| Android-based handsets have already overtaken
| those of Apple's iPhone, and there's every
| sign that Android could find a home on
| netbooks and tablet computers, too. Lots of
| companies, including Dell, are making devices
| that use Google's open source OS, and it will
| be interesting to see whether they can come
| up with a tablet to rival the iPad.

Could Android run on the iPad?

,----[ Quote ]
| Or perhaps Android will make its lasting
| mark in a different arena altogether such
| as playing the role of the embedded brains
| for household appliances or for industrial
| controllers? This is of interest to me,
| personally. Though I have to question that
| notion about once a day when I pop the
| battery in my Nexus One due to phone call
| lockups. Yikes.
