iPad Continued…

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Here is a great article about the iPad, and more generally, the emergence of user-friendly technology.

Personally, I have no problem with devices that make computing easier and more accessible, but I do have problems with Apple’s track record of user input technologies, from the iPhone’s touch screen keyboard to the iPod’s click wheel (for games) to just about every mouse device they have produced since the iMac.

But then I saw a shot of an iPad Keyboard Dock. Sold!

When it becomes available in Canada, that is.

Steve Jobs presents the iPad

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

See a live blog here.

No specific mention of Canada, unfortunately, but set to ship in 60 days (90 days for 3G version) and devices will be unlocked.

Will display two eBook pages side by side in horizontal position.

There will be cameras on both sides so you can video yourself as well as whatever is in front of you.

Will work with all existing iPhone apps.
