Macworld 2010

February 13th, 2010

Macworld 2010 took place this past week, and I was fortunate to have been able to attend.

No Apple?!?!

For the last year, there’s been a lot of hand wringing and speculation about the health and future of Macworld. The 2010 event would be its 26th year, but for the first time, Apple would not be attending. Macworld has been the cornerstone event for the Macintosh, and now Apple, -centric business ecosystem. Up until this year, it’s the only event where Apple, vendors, and consumers could meet, congregate, exchange ideas, share news, announce new products, all face-to-face. For anyone doing business involving the Mac and Apple products, be it software, hardware, or accessories, this was the show to attend.

Apple Announces the iPad

January 27th, 2010

I just finished following the Apple announcement of the iPad tablet device. As always, Steve Jobs and Apple pulled of a very slick presentation. The goal of this device was to bridge the tricky gap between an smartphone and a laptop. Apple has dismissed the idea of the “Netbook” as merely being an underpowered laptop, and from the experiences of people who bought into netbooks, I’d have to agree. Everyone I know who’s bought one has stopped using them, complaining they don’t do much.

With the iPad, Apple seems to have figured out the right combo. More like a grown up iPhone than a scaled down MacBook, its interface is very similar to the iPhone’s, but with changes that take advantage of the size and more powerful capabilities. I’m not going to do a full review here, but I will return to link to reviews and comments by people who’ve had a chance to test and look at the device first hand. In the meantime, learn about it on Apple’s site.
