The blend of humor and insight at Fake Steve Jobs never fails to inform and entertain. It's been said before that the iPad is the newspaper industries last hope for survival. And this post delves into how Jobs wants to redefine the multimedia experience. I also like his unrestrained assault on the Kindle. I've always been a big fan, but this week has really exposed it's vulnerability, imo.

Thoughts on the iPad — Just Push the Buy Button, Says Apple
I'm certainly not throwing down $$ on this yet, but will definitely be in line to try it at the Apple store. The most interesting thing is the position as an ebook reader. It's certainly easier to draft off the Kindle than define a new market. And when positioned against that, it makes a lot of sens

NYT: With Apple Purchase of Lala, Music Business Heads into the Virtual World
From vinyl to CDs to mp3s to the cloud. If you've used any of the streaming services like Rhapsody or Pandora, you're probably familiar with how music in the "cloud" is actually more convenient than digging through files. Personally, I can't wait for Apple - and the industry players who get it - to roll this out.

Taking Its Cue From Apple, TV Explores On-Screen Applications - NYTimes.com
In a nutshell, cable TV companies are looking at ways to integrate the Apple apps type environment into their set top boxes to enable apps downloaded and used on TV.

There's a lot of speculation in this piece, but if it's on target, get ready for a much better computing experience in the next couple of years.

Could A Real Apple Fan Completely "Go Google"?
In the past it was MSFT vs. Apple. Now it's a lot more fun to pit Cupertino against Mountain View. At this point, it's a clean break for me. Apple for hardware, Google for software. And I'm relatively happy with how it all fits together. (I did say 'relatively'.) The first thing to change that for me would be Android. If it advances with significantly more cloud features than the iPhone, with a reasonable interface and app selection, I'd jump.
