It’s come to the attention of the nerd collective that two of Apple’s iPad accessories will be delayed until May. That’s right, the iPad keyboard and 10W USB power adapter are being pushed back until sometime in May.

He makes a valid point about consumers not wanting to tack on an additional subscription though. I mean, who …
Mashable’s Ben Parr recently sat down with Adobe’s Aaron Filner, you know, the product manager for Flash to discuss recent rumblings over Apple and Steve Jobs’ comments about Flash and where the Internet is headed.

Earlier today Apple filed a lawsuit against HTC with the U.S. International Trade Commission and the U.S. District Court in Delaware over 20 patents that the Cupertino-based company says HTC has blatantly ripped off.
