What a rush!

This is just a video of a downhill race. I can only imagine what it must've been like for the rider! Too cool for words :)

The year of the iPad. Or was it?

I was watching the latest Apple keynote this morning, where Steve Jobs called 2010 "The year of the iPad" and it seemed like everyone was in agreement. I've been thinking about this - was it really the year of the iPad? The iPad has certainly been in the news and has sent competitors scurrying to come up with competing tablets. There is no question that the iPad is the #1 tablet device. (Apple threw out some figures today - 15 million units sold, just over 9 billion dollars in revenue). The iPad revolution has started; However, I believe the best is yet to come.

Let's take a step back -which was the year of the Walkman? Whichever year it was, I don't believe that it was the first year that the Walkman hit the market or the first year when it outsold its rivals. I think the year of the Walkman would've been the first year when  you could spot just about everyone sporting one. As much as the iPad has sold, that point has not come yet.

Here's a well made video showing the many ways in which the iPad is already used. It really is a device with amazing potential.
