When American Airlines announced that they were planning on phasing out the paper in-flight charts in the cockpit in favor of the iPad, some of us smelled a PR maneuver. How could a couple of breakable $500 tablets in each plane be cheaper or easier than just printing out some maps?

Oh, man, finally.

Apple may be considering licensing Rosetta to developers whose software might otherwise be left behind in the transition to Lion.
I always had a heck of a time figuring out what to get my dad for Father’s Day; he never wore ties, didn’t have patience for gadgets and wasn’t a big sports fan. I might have sent him one of these, though (and if he had ever read his email, he might have received it).
Life doesn’t get any better than lining up tracks at a party, armed with an iPad and DJ tools like Griffin’s iRig and StompBox. Oh wait — it does!
We start the day with Apple’s new back to school sale. Get a $100 Apple gift card when you buy MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or iMac from the Apple Store for Education. The gift card is a change from last year, when Apple offered a free iPod when you purchased a Mac. The gift card can be applied to the App Stores, iTunes, and the iBookstore. Next is a deal on a 30GB iPod video for just $100. We wrap up the spotlight deals with a 24-inch Cinema Display.
As always, details on these items and more can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
