I think its pretty impressive that Apple has sold 1 million iPads already and they aren’t even on sale in Canada yet!

Makes me think about the logistics of planning, building, distributing and supporting so many devices all of a sudden.  Its really quite something to think about how to organize all of this!  congratulations to Apple, well done!  Now what can’t we get some of them here in Canada?

While we’re on the Apple news – check out the articles about why Apple banned Flash from the iPhone.  Steve Jobs even wrote a letter to explain it all.

Pretty sure there’s some big stakes involved here, and quite possibly something personal in it all too!

Would you want to have Flash on your iPhone if it slowed everything down, and didn’t use any of the iPhone interface methods?  Not sure I would.

I'm starting to get more interested in networking history, so I guess I'm starting to look backwards as well as forwards! My homepage is http://www.concon.com

    When my MAC friends go to the states to pick up an iPad, you know it’s a hot product.

    Do you think iPad will ever be in the enterprise? It is “unique” but it is still not a desktop or a smart phone.

    Here’s a story – Netbook sales compared to iPad

    The figures are filled with bias and skews (it’s a Mac site). Netbooks have been around a long time and may have hit its own saturation points.
