The Tablets of Our Dreams Merge With Reality

These were the tablets of our dreams. The devices we thought we’d use one day. But what do we get in reality? The iPad. The showmanship level definitely isn’t as high (Tom Cruise wasn’t available), but the usability is proven.

iPad Aftershocks: Apple’s “Netbook” Is Screwing Netbook Makers

The iPad is Apple’s netbook. It’s small, built for the web, and cheap. Which is a problem for the people who make actual netbooks, since they wanted to undercut Apple.

Wall Of iPads Could Be Used In Libraries To Display iBooks, Just Like This Concept Rendering

Gizmodo’s Post-iPad Punchdrunk Party

The best thing about Apple events isn’t whatever they’ve announced. It’s the after-party, which is kinda like a Christmas-party-slash-reunion, but without the crushing holiday depression and teeth-gnashing. Everybody’s actually happy. And it’s great to see all of our friends. It was the perfect kind of post-explosion gathering: Low key, but vibrant. Of course, everybody was…
