You Can Use Ping On Your iPad Now [Ping]

Apple just updated the iTunes app on the iPad and it adds...Ping! It was a backend update so there's no new download necessary. Just hit up the new Ping tab on the iTunes app to get your social music-ing on. *cricket*

In the tab in iTunes, You get your Ping feed, the people you follow, your followers, your profile, a dedicated section for concerts and twitter integration in iPad-sized glory. Can Ping still catch on? [9to5mac]

Social Networking iPhone App Path Shares Photos and Info With Closest Friends Only [IPhone Apps]

Twitter's fun, but wouldn't you be more "you-like" if you were broadcasting your life to just 50 of your closest friends? So goes the thinking behind Path, which uses your phone's camera as the basis for the free social-network. [iTunes]

Jolibook no longer camera shy, opens its lid on Flickr

Well, thar she blows -- the Jolicloud Jolibook. You've seen the teaser images and the official specs, but the 10.1-inch netbook is finally showing its keyboard deck and rear in a set of official press shots. Most of the information you need is in that gallery below, but just like we saw in the other images, its lid is skinned with a crowded cartoon scene while its back is home to a bulging battery (though, one shot shows it with a smaller cell). Under the cover it looks to have a fairly standard plastic panel complete with a chiclet keyboard that happens to look strikingly similar in styling to that on the recent Acer Aspire One systems. We're hoping that all plastic build translates to a seriously low starting price, but naturally, we're still waiting on that last nugget of information. We dare you to check out the shots in the gallery below and try saying "Jolicloud Jolibook" three times fast!

Confirmed: Lenovo LePad headed to US in 2011

Lenovo led us to believe that our LePad chances weren't terribly good, but CEO Yang Yuanqing recently told the Wall Street Journal that the Android tablet is indeed slated for a 2011 US launch. Though Lenovo's COO Rory Read was pretty clear that the LePad wouldn't ship stateside until a tablet-ready version of Android was ready to go, it seems the company's now confident that Google will deliver the goods. However, our gain is apparently China's loss, as the publication reports that the slate's been pushed into 2011 (as opposed to this December) in its country of origin as well. What's a multinational computer corporation to do?

Face it, for the average consumer, solid-state drives still have a price-to-storage issue -- but once you get used to the quick and quiet performance, it's hard to go back. If you're willing to take the dive, or already have and are looking to swap out / upgrade, Intel's lowered the suggested price of its 80GB and 160GB X25-M SSDs to $199 and $415, respectively.
