Orbitz Hotels (for iPad)
Much like Expedia Hotel (for iPhone) (Free, 3.5 stars) and Hipmunk Flight Search (for iPad) (Free, 3.5 stars), Orbitz Hotels (for iPad) (Free) targets one element of the desktop travel search site and transports it, with care, to a mobile platform. The result is an app that feels perfectly tailored to the iPad, taking advantage of the large touch-screen interface and carrying over the price protection features that made the Orbitz (Free, 4 stars) desktop site an Editors' Choice winner.
Unfortunately, as with the mobile apps from Expedia and Hipmunk, Orbitz Hotels (for iPad) is an incomplete travel booking solution; as long as you do not have the option to book flights with hotels, you're relinquishing the significant savings found in bundling. And, despite plenty of iPad polish, Orbitz overlooks a couple of key features, namely a hotel name search and an Orbitz login for retrieving booking information and accessing Insider Steals. In short, Orbitz Hotels does a fine job transporting the site's hotel-booking to the iPad—I just wish it packed more for the trip.
Map or Matrix
By Default, Orbitz Hotels loads Map view, which pins hotels to a Google Map and automatically locates you and your (GPS-equipped) iPad. You also have the option to enter a location manually, using a city, address, zip code, or landmark.
Map view has two components: an Orbitz-annotated Google Map and tiles for the top hotel results (to the left side of the screen). Orbitz begins by sorting results by best value, though there are also sorts for Lowest Price, Distance, Star Rating, and Hotel Name. You can also apply filters—Amenities, Star Rating, User Reviews, Hotel Chain—to narrow results. Despite including both a Hotel Name sort and Hotel Chain filter, I was disappointed to see that the app doesn't include a way to search for a particular hotel.
I was, however, impressed with the app's filtering prowess. Not only can you tap a particular selection to check it (e.g. specifying a 4-star hotel), you can tap more than one selection to tailor results. This is particularly useful when searching in multiple neighborhoods: For example, with one filter I can easily return results for Gramercy, Midtown East, and the Upper West Side.
Finally, there is the option to toggle to what Orbitz calls the Matrix view. While the desktop site had made the Matrix a fixed feature across the competition, Matrix on the iPad is really just a tile-based view. It's entirely usable, but I see little reason to choose it over the location-attentive Map view.
Details and Bookings
Exploring a hotel doesn't require a second thought. Simply tap it to open a window with Overview, Reviewer Score, and Rooms and Rates tabs. Like the Expedia Hotels app, Orbitz Hotels lets you swipe through images of the hotel (though the imagery is not quite as impressive). And thankfully, unlike, say Travelocity (for Android) (Free, 2 stars), you can read individual user reviews from the app.
The app's largest limitation reveals when it comes time to book a hotel. Without an Orbitz login, users have to manually enter traveler information, payment, and billing information. On a desktop, this would be a quibble, but using the iPad, all that tapping feels like an unnecessary inconvenience. Furthermore, because there's no Orbitz login, you cannot take advantage of the site's Insider Steals, a weekly, members-only sale that can save you up to half off on some hotels.
Automatic Protection
Although Orbitz Hotels lacks plenty of desktop functionality, you'll still benefit from the same impressive protections that secured the site the Editors' Choice designation. With Automatic Hotel Price Assurance, Orbitz will automatically send you a check (for the difference) if another customer books the same room for less. Automatically is the key word here: You do nothing but click "Agree and Book" and Orbitz takes care of the rest. That said, if you do want to hunt, if you find it for a lower price on another site, Orbitz's Low Price Guarantee ensures you'll get the difference plus a $50 discount on a future booking. Finally, if something comes up and you have to scrap your trip, Orbitz won't hit you with hotel cancellation fees (though the hotel might).
A Confident Mobile Booker
What Orbitz Hotels (for iPad) does—hotel booking—it does quite well. As soon as you open the app, you'll know how to use it, and the company deserves credit for taking advantage of the iPad's screen estate with a unique combination of maps and tiles. I wish it did more: Not only do I leave with the impression that the app could excel with other types of bookings, but as long as it remains hotel-specific, customers cannot take advantage of the real savings to be found from vacation bookings. Download it today if you want Orbitz's superb customer protections and a hotel-specific booking app for your iPad.

The iPad trumps oil: Apple is most valuable US co.
NEW YORK (AP) — Investors seem to think you want an iPad more than oil, as Apple Inc. became the most valuable company in the United States, surpassing Exxon Mobil Corp. on Wednesday.
Apple briefly flirted with the top spot on Tuesday afternoon before settling back slightly below the oil giant.
Wednesday was the first time that Apple managed to stay No. 1 after the stock market closed.
Apple's stock fell 2.8 percent to close at $363.69, which brings the iPhone and iPad maker's market capitalization to $337 billion. Exxon's stock fell 4.4 percent to close at $68.03. That gives the oil company a market cap of $331 billion.
The change of the guard took place two days after global markets saw its worst fall since 2008 as investors worried about the U.S. credit downgrade and the possibility of another recession. Exxon had been the most valuable company since 2005, and Apple only took No. 2 in May 2010 when it surpassed Microsoft Corp.
The power shift, while largely symbolic, is a substantial milestone for Apple, which has enjoyed a triumphant comeback since the 1990s, when it struggled to stay afloat before Steve Jobs returned to take the helm.
But it's not just the comeback. Gleacher & Co. analyst Brian Marshall says Apple is giving investors something that has never been seen before. Apple's numbers are huge, with nearly $30 billion in revenue in the latest quarter, for example. Yet Marshall said the 35-year-old company is "growing like a startup."
"Even in 2008 and 2009 Apple grew like a weed and the world was coming to an end," Marshall said.
Apple grew its net income 70 percent to $14 billion and its revenue 52 percent to $65 billion in the fiscal year that ended last September. A year earlier, even as other companies — though not Exxon — were reeling from the economic meltdown, Apple's earnings grew 35 percent and its revenue 14 percent.
Apple wasn't always a tech darling. The company once known as Apple Computer Inc. was on a steep decline before Jobs returned in 1997.
With Jobs as CEO, Apple dreamed up gadgets that people didn't even think they needed until they got their hands on them — or saw friends and relatives with them. There were music players, smartphones and tablet computers before Apple introduced the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. But the Apple gadgets' sleek, minimalist design and intuitive software gave them a loyal following not just by tech geeks but the everyday consumers.
"Never underestimate the power of Joe Sixpack relative to expenditures on consumer electronics," Marshall said.
People want their gadgets, especially those made by Apple, even in a recession and even as they watch their stock portfolios and retirement funds shrink.
Even so, Apple commands just a sliver of the overall smartphone and computer market. For that reason, Apple can grow at such a fast pace. "They have just a tremendous runway in front of them," Marshall said.
Exxon, which set a record in 2008 for the highest quarterly earnings by any company, has limited prospects because its growth is tethered to oil prices and new oil discovery.
Apple's growth is limited only by innovation. Investors expect it to grow as long as it keeps making products that people want. So investors are betting on Apple's stock even though it currently makes less money than Exxon.
In its latest quarterly report, Apple said stronger iPhone and iPad sales helped more than double its net income to $7.3 billion and grow revenue by 82 percent to $29 billion.
Exxon, meanwhile, posted a 41 percent increase in its second-quarter earnings to nearly $11 billion, the largest since it set a record of nearly $15 billion in the third quarter of 2008. Its revenue grew 36 percent to $125 billion.
International companies that vie for the most valuable spot include PetroChina Co., the publicly traded unit of China's biggest oil and gas company, and Petrobras, Brazil's state-controlled energy company.
In the U.S., Exxon and General Electric had been trading off the No. 1 and No. 2 spots until Microsoft surpassed them both in early 1999, at the height of the dot-com boom. By 2000, though, GE was No. 1 once again. According to data from FactSet, the three were close over the next five years, though Apple was ascending quickly. Exxon, which is based in Irving, Texas, took the top spot in 2005 and remained there until Wednesday.
Apple, which is based in Cupertino, California, generally introduces a new product every three years, which means something new in 2013. Marshall does not expect the company to slow down any time soon.
In fact, he expects Apple to pass yet another milestone next year, when it's likely to surpass Hewlett-Packard Co. as the world's largest technology company by revenue. In the most recent quarter, HP reported $32 billion in revenue, compared with Apple's $29 billion in its latest quarter.

iPhone, iPad boost chip sales for wireless devices
Filed Under:
The demand for smartphones and tablets is causing manufacturers to spend more on chips for wireless devices than for traditional computers, says a report out yesterday from IHS iSuppli.
As the tech industry shifts more of its emphasis from PCs to mobile gadgets, the wireless segment is poised to become the leading market for chip buying starting this year.
Manufacturers will buy $55.4 billion of semiconductors for wireless devices this year, a jump of 10.7 percent from 2010, according to IHS. But spending on chips for computers will reach $53.1 billion this year, a gain of just 1.2 percent from last year.
(Credit: IHS iSuppli)"Led by Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPad, demand is booming for smartphones and tablet devices," IHS semiconductor analyst Wenlie Ye said in a statement. "This is spurring a surge in sales of semiconductors used in wireless devices, including baseband chips, applications processors, and mobile memory. With overall sales growth for PCs slowing, the balance of power in the semiconductor industry is shifting toward the wireless segment."
Apple has been a huge contributor to that shift. Driven by demand for the iPhone and iPad, Apple became the world's largest OEM semiconductor buyer last year, moving past long-time leader Hewlett-Packard.
That swing is significant since Apple is more of a wireless device seller, spending 61 percent of its chip budget last year on mobile devices. In contrast, HP is primarily a PC maker, allocating 82 percent of its chip budget in 2010 for desktops, laptops, and servers. Apple is expected to further outpace HP in chip spending both this year and next, IHS noted.
Related stories:

‧ Semiconductor sales rebound 24 percent in 2010
‧ Apple's A6 chip in pilot production
The wireless market as defined by IHS includes not just mobile phones and tablets but also routers, base stations, and related gear.
Although semiconductor spending for PCs has been hit by slower growth, the segment is still alive and kicking. Notebook sales in particular continue to rise, ensuring that PC-related chip buying isn't likely to shrink significantly over the foreseeable future, added IHS.

Apple iPad 3 Coming Next Year: Report
By Darrell Etherington, GigaOM
Those hoping for Apple(AAPL) iPad lightning to strike twice this year might be disappointed by a new report out Friday. Taiwan Economic News, citing sources within the chip-making industry, says the A6 processor, successor to the A5 and cited as the central component for a new, more powerful iPad, won't be ready for public consumption until the second quarter of next year at the earliest.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) is the company that will be supplying the A6 to Apple, according to the report. Reuters reported last month that the chipmaker was getting underway with trial production, but this latest report seems to suggest that trial production hadn't yet begun in earnest until now.
The current A5 chip that powers the iPad 2, and is rumored to power the upcoming iPhone 5, is supplied by Samsung, but reports have long suggested that Apple was considering moving their chip production to TSMC, which is the world's largest semiconductor foundry as measured by market share.
Apple is also thought to be looking to move some of its business away from Samsung, since the two companies are involved in a complicated and volatile legal battle in various courts worldwide.
The A6, based on the ARM(ARMH) chip architecture, will use TSMC's new 28-nanometer process, along with 3D stacking technologies. That will make for an extremely low-powered chip that's also capable of blowing away the A4 and A5 in terms of processing ability, since those designs both use layered instead of 3D designs.
The 3D stacking tech will allow layers to be integrated vertically and horizontally into one single circuit. Computerworld's Jonny Evans suggested in July that such a design could make for a processor powerful enough, in theory, to replace Intel(INTC) chips in future MacBook Airs, so they should extend the iPad's capabilities considerably.
Taiwan Economic News says TSMC and Apple had discussed working together on past chips, but the chipmaker didn't have the spare production capacity to take on the iPad maker as a customer. Owing to a downturn in the industry this year, the publication says TSMC now has room to fill Apple's orders.
While it may be disappointing to some that it's looking less likely we'll see an iPad 3 this year, an iPad 2 and an iPad 3 released so close together isn't a smart play for Apple anyway, as GigaOM noted earlier this year. The iPad continues to dominate the tablet space, and Apple is currently doing a good job of keeping its competition from even being able to sell their products.
Even if we won't get to see a new iPad product before 2012, the news that TSMC is getting underway with its chip-making plans ahead of ramping up for full production in the first quarter is still an exciting prospect for fans eager to see what's coming next from Apple.

iPad 2 Skin Review: GelaSkins Music Skin for iPad 2
iPad 2 Skin Review: GelaSkins Music Skin for iPad 2 Review
Reviewed by Tong Zhang
Reviewed by Tong Zhang
Editor's Ratings (1-5): 4.5
What's Hot: Great selection of stock art, very easy to design and order, good print quality.
What's Not: The adhesive loses strength with repeat use.
Using skins on mobile devices is becoming more and more popular. We've looked at SkinIt skins for iPhone 4 (check out our Tron Legacy Skin review) and MacBook Air 13" notebook. GelaSkins is another big brand in providing skins for notebooks, tablets, mobile phones, ebook readers, gaming systems and more. You can choose from their stock arts of 100 artists or create your own with photos or art. GelaSkins supports over 100 devices and systems, and offers custom made background images for your laptop, tablet or phone to match the skins' designs. We went through the ordering process, and found it easy and fast. We got the order confirmation within hours and the product delivery in 4 business days. The skin we ordered came safely in a cardboard poster tube.
Design
The material of GelaSkins is similar to the SkinIt material, thin laminated vinyl with 3M adhesive that?s repositionable and reusable. The GelaSkins for iPad 2 is thinner than any case, and it has a honeycomb like shallow texture that we like better than the SkinIt?s smooth skins. The GelaSkins comes on a protective board, you can easily peel it off of the board and lay it on your device. For the iPad 2 skin, it?d be a lot easier if you had two people to apply the skin. Position it right, then use a piece of soft cloth to push the skin onto the tablet from the center to the edges. Our skin didn?t leave any air bubble using this method. It?s not slippery and can certainly protect the iPad 2?s surface from being scratched. If you need to take off the skin or switch between different skins, you should know that these skins don?t leave any adhesive residue after you peel them off of a device, but the adhesive does lose strength over time, especially the parts where you handle the adhesive with your fingers. The skins themselves can keep their shapes pretty well. GelaSkins suggests that you put the skins back on the protective boards they came on which will help keep them in better condition.
Norman Rockwell:Brian Viveros:The most fun part of getting the GelaSkins is the design and it was also when we realized one skin just wasn?t enough. GelaSkins offers a large number of stock designs from artists such as Norman Rockwell, Giselle Silverstri, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt and many more. Colin Thompson designed the skin used in this review and it?s called Music, and it comes with an image for the iPad 2 that matches the skin around the display bezel in portrait orientation. GelaSkins certainly has a different take on selection of art pieces compared to SkinIt, and provides one collection we wish SkinIt had: Marvel art pieces.
GelaSkins also lets you design your own device skins with photos or art pieces. You can upload image files in PNG, JPG or GIF format and GelaSkins provides help on their web site for positioning the pictures onto your skins. They also offer an instruction video to help you with the process and give you tips for best results. If you have really interesting art pieces you can even submit them to GelaSkins to be considered for their collections.
Features
The skin for iPad 2 from GelaSkins has a custom fit for the tablet and perfect cutouts for the ports and buttons. The iPad 2 skin leaves out four corners for some reason, but covers the rest of the tablet on the back including the Apple logo. It covers the front bezel around the display. The skin has cutout for the 30-pin connector and the speaker grill on the bottom of the iPad 2. The power button, mic and audio out jack on top are also easily accessible via cutouts, and the rear camera is exposed as well. The front skin piece has cutouts for the Home button below the display, the front camera and sensor above the screen. This is why it?s easier to have two people putting on the skin: you need to line the cutouts with the ports and buttons without wrinkling the skins while doing it.
Conclusion
GelaSkins makes it painless for you to create skins for your laptop, tablet, phone or gaming system. The skins have bright, sharp and colorful prints, and they?re reusable and don?t leave adhesive residue behind thanks to 3M technology. The process is easy and fast, the collection of stock arts is quite different from other skins makers we?ve seen. And having the matching background screens for your skins just tops it off. If you are a fan of Marvel or Nat Geo you will finally have some art pieces to grace your gear. GelaSkin ships their products worldwide. As they are a Canadian company, they ship their products from Canada and they have 30-day return policy for unopened skins with stock art.

The Real Apple iPad Killer App? Reading
Breaking news: The iPad proves people still read!
Now Steve Jobs can eat his words on the digital paper they're written on. You may recall the Apple chief famously saying in 2008 about e-readers: "It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don't read anymore. Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don't read anymore."
Since then, the iPad has become the hottest gadget in the history of tech. Its killer app? Reading.
iPads make it easy to readFor starters, flip over to Flipboard. This app renders content feeds in an easy-to-read magazine style format. It's the most hyped iPad app on the App Store. Another iPad app, Instapaper, which strips clutter from Web sites to deliver just the content, has single-handedly brought back long-form stories to the Web. Instapaper has become so popular that Apple built in the same functionality into its upcoming iOS 5.
I haven't even touched on the success of iPad bookstores, such as Amazon Kindle and Apple iBooks. Although, I have to admit that I've been largely unsuccessful reading a novel on the iPad. There are just too many distractions. It's too easy to switch apps and check email or surf the Web.
Then there's the plethora of magazines looking to cash in on the iPad craze. Top among them is The New Yorker, known for its long reads. The New Yorker has sold 20,000 yearly iPad subscriptions at $60 a pop after only 10 months on the App Store.
The New Yorker is an especially interesting iPad case study because it makes little use of multimedia on the iPad. Embedded videos and interactive graphics were supposed to be the big advantage iPad magazines had over their print counterparts. Instead, The New Yorker on the iPad stuck to its reading roots.
Having just read the compelling story of "Getting Bin Laden" in the latest New Yorker edition on the iPad, I can attest that the power of the app is in its simplicity and ease of reading. There are few, if any, bells and whistles. Given The New Yorker's success on the iPad, publisher Conde Nast is reportedly readying more iPad magazine titles.
Digital fish wrap?Believe it or not, though, the iPad can still stumble as a magical reading device, derailed by the ineptness of some newspaper publishers. The first iPad-only newspaper, The Daily, was panned for its lackluster stories. I slammed the San Francisco Chronicle's attempt to charge for a $60-per-year digital subscription on the iPad while continuing to serve up the same stories for free on its Web site.
The biggest fail might be The New York Times. Let's be clear: I applaud the Times iPad model of $20 a month for unlimited access. Unlike the Chronicle, the Times cleverly took away unlimited free content on the Web.
So what's the problem? The execution of the Times iPad app has been crappy. Customer reviews cry foul about an app that constantly fails to download the most recent content. Users have to reboot the iPad to get the app to work properly again. The Times app is fish wrap.
Last week, after another Times app fail, I bookmarked the Times website on Safari and now prefer to read stories there. The Web site itself serves up a good reading experience. One can argue that there isn't a problem since I'm paying for access to digital stories, not an iPad app.
But judging from the hugely successful iPad apps such as Flipboard, Instapaper and The New Yorker, newspaper publishers can certainly deliver a better reading experience on an app. It's clear iPad users want to read good stories over a reading-tuned app rather than a Web site where you're constantly pinching and squeezing to adjust the size of the type.
If publishers such as the Times see the iPad and apps as a second chance for online reading, then they better take it more seriously. Major publishers serving up bad reading experiences on the iPad will only undermine early successes.
