Tech: The Apple iPad: Is the target audience the already-converted?

  • When it launches, the iPad’s initial target audience is iPhone and iPod touch users. Why? Because they are already very comfortable with the way you need to interact with this device.
  • TechCrunch columnist MG Siegler • Regarding the iPad’s initial target audience. It’s something Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself hinted at during his keynote address, saying, “If you have an iPhone, you already know how to use this.” And ultimately, that’s who’s going to be buying this, according to Siegler. It’s not perfect – it’s probably closer to a first-generation iPod than a first-generation iPhone in terms of completeness – but many users can already see its potential. It’s a CrunchPad on steroids. (Sorry, TechCrunch.) source

Biz, Tech: Warning: Exploding iPods can lead to confidentiality agreements

  • I thought it was a very disturbing letter…They’re putting a life sentence on myself, my daughter and Ellie’s mum, not to say anything to anyone.
  • Ken Stanborough • On the letter he received from Apple after his daughter’s iPod exploded. He had contacted the company for a refund, which they offered – but with a nasty clause. If he took their money, he had to agree to keep quiet and if he failed to do so his family could face litigation. Yeah, he didn’t sign it. Take that, bullies!  • source

Biz, Tech: The guy behind the iPod and Pre is now Palm’s CEO

  • Jon Rubinstein has a pretty golden touch. Hired at Apple during the company’s dark ages, he devised some of their best products as their hardware chief, including masterminding the iPod, which was a massive success. He retired in 2005 only to get courted by Palm two years later. The fruit of his labor? The Pre, which is off to a decent start. Now he’s the CEO. Go figure. source
