Today in Tech: The iPad reviews are in

• Apple public relations' new media pecking order

  How the news of the Mac's next operating system -- Mountain Lion -- got disseminated

  The top tech news story Thursday, apparently, has nothing to do with working conditions in China, or who owns the iPad brand, or even the fact that Motorola (MMI) may have to remove "slide to unlock" from its smartphones.

  No, the top 135 stories on Techmeme this afternoon are all about the next version of Apple's (AAPL) MORE

  RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie refuted some criticism that the company may have rushed its PlayBook tablet to market. "I don't think that's fair," he told Bloomberg News. "A lot of the people that want this want a secure and free extension of their BlackBerry." The interview came after a few early MORE

• iPad 2: The reviews are in

  Apple seeded the usual suspects with its new tablet last week. A sampling of the reviews:

  Walt Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal: I've been testing an iPad 2 for about a week and I like it a lot. While it's evolutionary rather than revolutionary like the first model, the changes Apple has made are generally pleasing and positive, and the device worked very well for me... It never MORE

• Apple's iPhone 4: The reviews are in

  Mossberg, Pogue and Baig all loved it. With reservations.

  Wednesday's papers will carry the first official reviews of Apple's (AAPL) new iPhone 4. The usual suspects have been playing with the device for the last week or so and they are, for the most part, pleased. A sample of what they had to say:

• Apple's iPad: The reviews are in

  Steve Jobs' handpicked reviewers have tested his latest creation and pronounced it a winner

  The first three reviews of Apple's (AAPL) tablet computer were posted Wednesday night -- each, coincidentally, from newspapers that are developing their own iPad apps.

  The verdicts are strikingly similar, although each writer reaches it by a different path.

  Walt Mossberg, writing for the Wall Street Journal, starts with the assumption that to succeed the iPad must be a MORE

• David Pogue Auto-Tunes Macworld

  Who needs Steve Jobs when you can have the song-and-dance man of high-tech?

  David Pogue, Emmy-winning tech columnist, "Missing Manual" millionaire and Broadway composer manqué, pulled out all the stops as he kicked off the first day of Macworld Expo.

  He sang (three of his favorite song parodies, see below). He cracked wise (mocking Steve Ballmer's exuberance, Steve Jobs' absence and the iPad's lack of Flash support). He plugged his latest book MORE

• 5 things to watch for at Macworld

  Can Apple's premier trade show survive without Apple? We'll find out next week

  There'll be no Steve Jobs keynote, no gigantic Apple booth, and only about half as many exhibitors -- roughly 220 vs. nearly 500 last year, according to Ars Technica.

  But IDG World Expo has determined that the show must go on -- at least for one more year -- and so from Tuesday Feb. 9 to Saturday Feb. 13, MORE

• Apple: Best [-----] of the Decade

  Steve Jobs and Apple appeared in an extraordinary number of 2009's "Best of" lists

  Our favorite: "There's an app for that," the Yale Book of Quotations' No. 3 quote of the 2009, right before Rep. Joe Wilson's "You lie" and after Captain Sully Sullenberger's "We're going to be in the Hudson."

  Some other citations...

• David Pogue channels Britney Spears

  The New York Times' columnist entertains IT types with a parody of "Ooops!... I did it again."

  David Pogue may review technology for a living, but give him half a chance and he'll revert to his first love: show tunes.

  He did it again Wednesday, ending his Interop New York 2009 keynote at the Javits Center with one of his patented song parodies: "Apps!... I did it again," a Britney Spears MORE
