Glad you mentioned Siri, Dave. Not sure if voice could ultimately replace touch, but it definitely will augment the human computer experience. I can definitely see both being used in conjunction with one another. Very exciting times ahead!

Touch interfaces could fade as fast as they came with the introduction of Siri coupled with companies like SoundHound and Nexidia.

Really disappointed in the Blackberry! It’s not just me that thinks the blackberry is dead! Check out this UK rapper GT Solo's song about them “BB is Dead” http://youtu.be/hZYiE-cRSxQ so funny!

Agreed. I work in a company that suuuucks at this. Why can't I get a VM in a day that allows me to integrate with other environments and prove sh&t out!

Albert's custom designs are a niche, and if all the Oscars go the Albert route, the niche becomes crowded. If the Bolivians also go the Albert route, the niche becomes very crowded. Time for a new niche. Time to follow the game.

This piece articulates well what we try to say to associates time after time. Heads down with blinders will serve you only if the environment stays the same. Trouble is, that stance does not allow you to see the change coming or to demonstrate agility when the change happens.

Thanks for the comments guys. If you hold the ipad vertically, you can thumb type, similar to texting. But it would be difficult to do if you had small hands. It's probably the most convenient way to type on it though.

If you hold or lay it horizontally, the keyboard is much larger. Large enough to hold your hands in a standard typing stance; however, due to the touchscreen you can't rest your hands on the keyboard (which is how you usually type). So you have to awkwardly hover your hands over the keys (or hunt and peck). This is why I prefer to type vertically with my thumbs even though I can type much faster horizontally.

Again, this is one of the only rubs I have about the device.

I laughed out load twice reading this! I WILL get an iPad. But I'll probably buy one for my mom first as an experiment - can my mom figure it out with no intervention from her IT geek of a daughter?? If she passes the test it just validates the brilliance beyond the Apple design approach.

Apple is the wave. I'm still using the same iPhone I purchased 3 years ago and it still just works. There is no perfect mobile device, but the iPad is the next wave of technology. If you fail to see that then you must be living in an enclosed box. The way we interact with information is constantly shifting. Embrace the future and swim with the wave, not against it. Apple research is like no other. Every product of theirs is verifiable proof.

2010-04-09T13:50:48.163-05:00

From what little I've seen, but large amount I've read and researched on the iPad I would have to agree with the comparison you have. Hearing about the iPad in action has made me think that apple is trying to push it in the wrong direction. Their advertisements create the notion that the iPad is the next business tool meant to replace the small laptop/netbook. However I would reason to say it has better place as a social media/gaming/multimedia platform. With the larger screen, but cumbersome keyboard, it has good potential for portable media, already boasting the ability to stream netflix, stream major network shows, and maybe even a hulu app or online gaming. I'm an apple owner myself and I've always had confidence in their products. So I'm sure the iPad will excel and pressure the technology market into further advancement, and once the iPad can mimic the productive capabilities of a netbook I feel it will have a strong foothold in a new market for production and multimedia.
