What Steve Jobs did after the presentation of the iPad?
Went to New York to meet The New York times, The Washington Post and Time Warner magazines.
Why?
To speed up the iNewsstand application for the iPad.
People involved in these meeting will confirm very soon that their companies will lead the iNewsstand.
Listen to these three insiders talking with Charlie Rose.
Walter Mossberg (The New York Times), loves the iPad.
Michael Carrington (Techcrunch), loves the iPad.
David Carr (The New York Times), loves the iPad.
And, yes, Charlie Rose, loves the iPad too.
You cannot get more positive comments from these big guys in this 23 minute video.
WOW!

The Apple iSlate is not going to be cheap but, as Steve Jobs once said “we don’t know how to build a sub-$500 computer that is not a piece of junk.”
Well, the iSlate is not going to be a Computer.
Or an e-Reader.
Or just another Notebook.
Or a big iPhone.
Or as David Carr said an “iPhone on steroids.”
It’s going to be, or must be, all of this in one piece.
And not a piece junk.
Brilliant!

David Carr writes in today’s New York Times about the upcoming Apple iTablet:
There hasn’t been this much hype about a tablet since Moses came down from the mountain, but in order for a product to have significant value, it has to solve a problem or be very useful, or both.
Conventional wisdom suggests that computers do a fine job of allowing people to read digitized content, but the act of clicking a mouse actually has little in common with flipping a page: users are scrolling vertically down into text when what they really want is to scan across as they have for hundreds of years…
The tablet represents an opportunity to renew the romance between printed material and consumer.
Think of sitting in your living room, in your bed or on a plane with a publication you really adore nestled into your lap.
Since print was first conceived, people have had an intimate relationship with the text, touching, flipping and paging back and forth.
