The International Newsmedia Marketing Association (INMA) announced today the first program of the Oxford Tablet Summit.
In the Segerius-Bruce’s picture you can see the venue for the opening dinner session of the Summit at the Exeter College.
Good reality check: Just the facts baby!
Sales of Google’s Nexus One phone in the US have paled in comparison to the iPhone.
After 74 days, the Nexus One has sold an estimated 135,000 units, according to mobile analytics firm Flurry. By that point in 2007, Apple announced it had sold a million iPhones.
A total flop.
This is the last cover of The Economist.
It’s is nice and compelling but the graphic is wrong.
The Spanish economy looks bigger than the UK, and Greece similar to Denmark….
(Thanks to Eivind and to Nicolas for correcting my error about Switzerland!)

Today The New York Times launched his new marketing campaign “numbers” against The Wall Street Journal.
A very aggressive one.
Yes, the “numbers” are very impressive, but…
If you are a leader, you don’t start to look back over your shoulder…
Except if your follower is coming very fast.
And that’s the case.
So, the market reacted as expected: the shares of The New York Times went down almost 5 per cent.
Tim Cook, the Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, will receive a one-time bonus of $5 million and 75,000 in restricted shares for running the company during Steve Jobs’ medical leave last year.
A regulatory filing submitted by the company on Friday says that he stock units will be vested on March 10, 2011 and March 10, 2012 in equal amounts, pending Cook’s continued employment with Apple.
As I explained in my TABLETMANIA blog, he is “the next Steve Jobs.”
More about Tim Cook here.
A very good one for sure.

The US Apple store says:
iPad pre-order limit: two per customer.
If Saturday delivery is not available in your area, iPad will be delivered on April 5.
To pre-order go here.
