AI, Mobile, and Eveything Around the Cloud

When the iPhone first appeared on the market, I thought wouldn't it be great if there was a way to connect an external keyboard. Months later, I thought the same. Then after a year or so, I finally gave up. Then the iPad. Along the way, before Steve Jobs officially unveiled it to the world, I thought it would be great to have a keyboard with a dock for the iPad. After all the screen is large enough for people who want to use it to write papers or the next bestseller. Well, it's here. I actually got it yesterday but I didn't get to try it out until just now. In fact, if not for the expected tardiness of my friends, I wouldn't have the opportunity to do this. So, first impressions. The keyboard is just the like the regular keyboard for the Mac. Elegantly designed. The dock at the back kind of sticks out but since I'm not able to provide a solution, I'm not one to criticize it. There are dedicated buttons for the iPad. Home, search, brightness, slidesho...

This is the first post i am making from the new Blogpress app that is optimized for the Ipad as well as the iPhone. Up until now, I was writing through the Blogger page through Safari. What I am excited about is that we are only days since the launch with a vast majority of the developers still getting used to the iPad and added real estate on the screen. Not only is this just the beginning, keep in mind that we are still using iPhone 3.2. We are hours away from being introduced to iPhone 4.0. Once Steve Jobs gives the okay to release It to the iPhone, iPod Toiuch, and iPad users, we are looking at our Apple mobile devices gaining new functions and capabilities. Then imagine months after developers have had a chance to play with the new mobile OS, we will be treated to giant leap in mobile computing. As a consumer of of data, media, and apps, it doesn't get any better than this. As Apple fans, it'll be interesting to see Apple's competitors begin their annual ritual of...

The iPad is easy to love. I love it the moment I got it at the Apple store and opened it up while I was there. In fact, you can see the looks on the faces of the new owners. Smiles all around. But once you take it home, that's when you start getting to know each other. I loaded up with a lot of iPad specific apps but I was itching to trying out the iPhone apps as well. Still, I was trying to get to know to know the iPad. It was not easy. The biggest problem I had was trying to compare it too the iPhone. I think that was a mistake. Just as the iPhone changed the smartphone market, elevated it to a whole new level as some would argue, the iPad is creating a whole new market segment in mobile computing and possibly redefining how we consume media. I am typing this post up on the iPad right now and even typing will take time to get used to. In time, I will not only love the iPad but also learn to appreciate what it can do.

We are about to be let in. Up to 150 in line at the Apple Store in Manhattan Beach. There are supposedly plenty of iPads for everyone. The stamp they put on my hand is smudged Posted with altBlogger .

That's right.  The iPad made it to the Late Show.  Is that a big deal?  Well, at a chance of being ridiculed?  Sure.  You'll never see Steve Jobs there but you will see the iPad.

Check out this video of the iPad in this espisode of Modern Family. Pay close attention to the candles in the cake displayed on the iPad's screen. Enjoy.

iPad this. iPad that. Magazines and ebooks. It's all anyone talks about these days. What about the next iPhone? In the past, I've said that I would not report on rumors. But seriously, there have been a dearth of rumors regarding the iPhone lately. I'm sure things'll start trickling out once the iPad is on the market and the excitement surrounding it has some time to simmer a bit. There have been supposed e-mails from Steve Jobs to users but mostly, they point to the OS rather than the hardware. There is a job posting that Apple made public: they're looking for someone who can work on HSPA+ and LTE. That is hardly a surprise given that after 3G as we know it now, we can look forward to HPSA+ and LTE. And with T-Mobile's parent company talking about selling the iPhone some time in late 2010 or early 2011, it's a good bet that Apple will try to take advantage of HSPA+ if the iPhone does come to T-Mobile USA. Beyond that, 3G sprinkled with LTE...
