Apple's iTouchPad

[Johntron]

If you hold it against a Kindle, sure the iPad stands strong. But what about everyone else?

I don't need a big iTouch, they need to converge more of their other products features into this item to really give it zing. Give it a real OS, camera, writing tablet functions etc... of course that raises the price ... so it's a tough balance.

This is just one more step towards the eventual convergence of all mobile devices and computers into one do-it-all machine that everyone totes around.

Not sure how objective this is, since it's on PCWorld .... but they make some good points about the iPad:

I agree with those criticisms. Other than the big screen, it's basically the same as my 3 year old iPod Touch. And even if it gets 3G - without a camera - it's been crippled for things like Voip/Skype.
I'll be staying with my Touch and Macbook.

I love the Onion, if I could have sex with that show, I'd do it.

Yes, it's very cool. No, I don't need to be entertained by music, video, games 24/7. I like my nook for simple reading and my phone to make a few calls. Stop and smell the roses every once and a while people or is there an iPhone app for that as well? "virtualrose2.0"............

Apparently, no one told all these people that print is dead! ....
they were supposed to have ordered PDF's!! ......


Times-Picayune ups press run

The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune said unprecedented demand for Monday’s paper covering the New Orleans Saints’ Super Bowl victory will result in the best-selling edition in the paper’s 173-year history. The newspaper said it’s been printing through the night to satisfy requests for the paper, which boasted a five-inch-tall “AMEN!” headline.

It might take a while to build it's market share, but I believe this thing is going to be huge. HUGE. These days I can walk into a Starbucks and half the people have an iPhone. The awful news is that the iPad is a another nail in the coffin for print.

Well, until you can use an iPad to hold cereal, I don't think print will be dead. And until they add a way to include free samples, I don't think it will totally kill off commercially printed mailings. I'm sure it will have some effect. But just remember, TV never killed off radio or the movies.
