  • the tablet often called an oversized iPhone is being looked at as a legitimate alternative to notebooks for road warriors. Enterprise Mobile Today has the report.
  • users expect the next generation of mobile devices to be a twofer as well -- something they can use for leisure activities as well as work.
  • Even though it's far from the first computer tablet, the iPad's friendly user interface and variety of applications (available via its iPhone-like App Store model) is expected to perk up what's been a relatively sleepy market for tablets that so far have mainly been sold for niche applications like order delivery.

    The Ipad is a great example of mobile computing because it is pretty much a mega sized version of the Iphone. The Iphone revolutionized mobile computing, and now the Ipad is even better. With about 35% of mobile users with smart phones, the internet is in high demand on the go. Cell phones usually have small and faded screens, vs the Ipad which has a huge screen and great graphics.

  • The major strengths of the iPad are the multiple client support and integrated, controllable backlight while the weaknesses are the lack of eInk, lack of Adobe Digital Editions support (for those free library books), and weight in your hand compared to dedicated ebook devices.

Statistics I is based on a rich Mobile Learning Platform™ that includes lessons, touch-screen simulations, calculators, decision making tools, quizzes, flashcards, formulas, and a glossary. The Statistics I app has been converted into an iPad E-Textbook and is under review for the grand opening of the iPad App Store.

  • Such encounters are becoming increasingly difficult. With a growing number of people turning to Kindles and other electronic readers, and with the Apple iPad arriving on Saturday, it is not always possible to see what others are reading or to project your own literary tastes. You can’t tell a book by its cover if it doesn’t have one.
  • Mason Worsham on 31 Mar 10
     
    Interesting observations are happening about the need for the cover of a book with so many people reading ebooks the cover is less important.

    eBooks are becoming more affordable and with devices like the Kindle, Nook, and soon to be released iPad, ebooks are becoming more practical (as well as environmentally friendly as they save paper.) This trend is predicted to move full scale into the college scene within the next 2-3 years. These are the links from the Horizon Report 2010 on this topic.

  • It will create a web of layers, of parallel narratives and realities and enhance our experiences.

  • As portable screens become practical (think iPad with camera), pervasive wearable computing becomes commonplace and surveillance technology evolves to being ubiquitous and transparent – society will evolve way ahead of government and law, who powerless to stop the flow of information on connected screens will be even more powerless to stop this flow moving into real space?
