Yes, it's about to get nasty. Apple with the iPad and Amazon with the Kindle. Sure the iPad does more, but is it necessary and does the public crave what the iPad offers. Time will tell, but the real story is the content war.
Last Christmas (2009), Amazon e-book sales overtook print for the first time ever. That's right, Amazon sold more e-books than printed books and much of those sales took place on Christmas day.
Wow, talk about hype. I decided to let things calm down a bit before commenting on the new Apple iPad.
Now I must admit, I am for any computer equipment that enhances reading. That's why I own a Sony eReader (but it could just as well have been a Kindle, or any of the other e-readers). So I was waiting with great expectations for the new Apple iPad.
It's neat, but a ground-breaker? I think not. There are all kinds of uses for a tablet, e-reader or whatever they are being called, but for the moment I am going to stick with the general design.

Eclectics are criticized for lack of consistent focus. I call it thinking out of the box. Eclecticisms.
