As expected, the early iPad reviews are starting to roll in. Both Walt Mossberg and David Pogue has posted their review of the iPad.

Mossberg says that the iPad could very well be a laptop replacement, david disagrees. David disliked the on-screen keyboard, Mossberg liked it. And they both seem to be quite fond of the 10+ hour battery life of the iPad doing various battery draining tasks.

David also revealed that Apple will have 1000 iPad apps ready by launch.

“When the iPad section of the App Store opens Saturday, it will start with 1,000 of them.”

We at iPadInsider will have our own iPad Review posted up real soon. Send us any iPad questions to be answered in the review.

Apple Store in Canada are reportedly having a “black out” period during the weekend of April 24, meaning no vacation, according to iPadinCanada. And if anything, there’s a high probability that April 24 is the release date for both models of the iPad in Canada or even the international launch, and the 3G iPad in the US.

We were contacted by a source with close ties to the Apple Store that the weekend of April 24th has been marked as a “black out period” for staff. This means no employees are allowed to book this day off. If that’s the case, then it would make sense that this indeed would be the launch date for the iPad in Canada. Anytime there’s a “black out period” you know it’s for something big.

While folks in the US are ready to pick up or purchase a WiFi iPad at an Apple Store or select Best Buy locations this Saturday. We’ll have a full-featured iPad Review in the coming days or weeks.

iPad-Cases-04

If you’ve been to eBay searching for “iPad” lately, then surely you’ve seen the countless listings of non-branded iPad cases. And obviously the factories that produces these cases has an iPad in hand to create the mold. Right now, you can grab yourself either a soft silicone or hard iPad case.

We went on eBay and got one of the soft kinds for under $10 (Shipping included) to check out. At first glance, the case has all the right cutouts for the buttons and ports, a hole for the Apple logo on the back of the iPad, and it’s mind-blowingly thin, we can just imagine how thin the actual device is. It goes without saying that these cases are not top quality but it does the job of protecting the iPad.

At this point, there are 3 different kind of designs of iPad cases on eBay. There’s the one we purchased. Then there’s the other design that covers the Apple logo on the back, and the front of the case goes cover the bezel more, hugging the home button as shown in the image below.
