Wired magazine is leading the change in the e-magazine industry and will have their new digital version out this summer for the iPad. It looks fantastic ... I certainly hope all magazines becomes like this :)
If your product is Great, it doesn't need to be Good
Paul Buchheit, the creator of Gmail, wrote an interesting article about the iPad ... "If your product needs "everything" in order to be good, then it's probably not very innovative (though it might be a nice upgrade to an existing product). Put another way, if your product is great, it doesn't need to be good." Click here to read this article.
The iPad's secret sauce: it's the software, stupid
"The thing is, tablet PCs running regular software like Windows and Office have never offered any benefit over regular PCs with a keyboard and mouse. In fact, they offer a worse user experience. ... Put another way: the iPad is all about software. Forget the sleek form factor – that's just a prerequisite. Ironically, it's the software and services that Microsoft never 'got', that Apple totally does get." Click here to read this article.
Radical Innovation of Meaning - Apple iPad
"No, what Apple does well is put forth "radical innovations of meaning". That term is from Roberto Verganti, who wrote about the concept in his excellent book "Design-Driven Innovation". Apple's skills with design-driven innovation are what will make the iPad a success." Click here to read this article.
Inside Apple's iPad: Multitasking
"Another problem relates to security. If apps aren't simply terminated by the user in a straightforward way as they are on the iPhone OS, users may not be aware they are still running. Background apps might provide a valuable service, but without any restrictions, they're also able to install spyware, viruses and other malicious software. That's simply not possible to do on the iPhone OS." Click here to read this article.
Inside Apple's iPad: Adobe Flash
"Adobe's arguments for Flash are difficult to support in the mobile realm. The iPhone has been wildly popular since its debut despite its lack of support for Flash. Apple's smartphone dramatically raised the bar for what customers expected in a mobile web browser. By doing this without Flash, Apple essentially redefined what the web should look like, at least on a mobile device." Click here to read this article.

Why the iPad is Intel’s worst nightmare
"The iPad is close to Intel’s worst nightmare because it’s a ‘proper’ computer - it’s certainly not a smartphone - that doesn’t use an Intel x86 CPU. It’s also a machine that doesn’t face any of the demand-killing limitations non Intel laptops have done before. It’s not from a no-name company that people won’t trust, or whose products you can’t actually find in the shops. It’s not running Linux or an OS that’s difficult to understand. It’s not unfamiliar – millions of people know how to use the iPhone – and once the Apple marketing juggernaut gets up and running, you’re not going to be unaware it exists."

"Rennie says IBM will also design applications targeted specifically at the iPad, which it hopes to release "very close to the delivery date" of the device. "The screen real estate and the touch interface should give us the opportunity to do some very interesting things," he says." Click here to read this article.
