Apple debuts Apple Store for iPad

Apple wants to make it easy for you to shop for, well, more Apple devices through your iPads. The Apple Store for iPad gives you high-resolution photos of the different Apple products and allows you to swipe, tap, and pinch to browse or buy said devices.

You can view product categories from a top menu that disappears as you browse. You can also search for items and purchase items and arrange for store pickup or home delivery. The app also updates you with information about workshops and events in the nearest Apple Store to you or helps you make an appointment with the Genius Bar.

Sphero 2.0 is an update to last year's model and is reportedly 2x faster, 3x brighter, and 'smarter'. Sphero 2.0 rolls at speeds of up to 7 feet per second and pairs to your device via Bluetooth with a range of up to 100 feet.
