Sinopsis

For Doyle, the jury is out. He's interested in what the infrastructure and ecosystem will look like. Michael: The device is not for pros, but instead for consumers, literally his mother. She asked about it with no prompting from Michael. iPad runs all iPhone apps, including Skype. Dave: Completely blown away by the device and wants one now. Other handset makers were trying to stuff a desktop OS into a handheld. Subnotebook/netbooks are gone with 18 months as a category. iPhone OS 4 is rumored to support multitasking. What does iPad mean for Hulu and suchlike services. Screen dimensions aren't HD dimensions (16:9). Publishers are giddy about the device. It'll be a great guide "book." What will the Kindle app look like? How well will it work? Dave is a futurist at heart. iPad has attachments (SD card, USB). Who is the target market for this? Will the attachment keyboard suck? It has Bluetooth. Doyle thinks he might divide mobile and desktop operations again (iPad for mobile/email, and iMac for the desktop). Wil
