iPad release date announced

Just when you thought Apple was only kidding about the whole zany ‘iPad’ thing, they go and set a release date! According to Apple’s web site, the iPad will be released on April 3rd, and they’ll start taking pre-orders on March 12th.

There’s no indication if the 3G models will be available, but it’s unlikely since Steve once said that those would be released 30 days after the initial launch… but a boy can dream.

So, start counting your pennies.  In fact, start counting a LOT of them.  And I’ll see you on line!

Shang-Chi Director Directed From His iPhone

I enjoyed reading this brief ScreenRant story, so I thought I’d share it here. It describes how Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, was forced to direct an important scene via his iPhone while in the hospital for the birth of his child! Sadly, it doesn’t divulge the details of that unusual workflow, but it’s an excellent reminder that we’re all toting the world’s most versatile piece of filmmaking gear in our pockets and purses!
