I think the reason Apple is so successful is that they have the best product but also this time around their prices are the same as competitors

Scoble just justified why Rackspace pays him the big bucks.

(Apple in the background chain sawing down the competition...)

Francine, I'm still waiting for a decent stylus for iPad.

I have muted. I think I shoudl go indoors

I bought a Stylus in a Verizon store that seems okay.

The only weakness I see with Apple is data, like I can't get my Garageband projects from previous iPad to the new one or to the desktop, that's the place where the cloud has an advantage, but it will take time
- Stephen Pickering
It's because Apple charged to much for their PCs back then, whereas back then the Windows PCs were just as powerful, but Apple has their pricing right on the mobile, that's why no one can touch them

oddly just watched the last show on tc hello from a londoner in, erm, poland

I just downloaded the most gorgeous Audubon app. It will soon be in HTML5, so it can have a social component.

I am SO IN THE MARKET for a new tablet I can actually draw with properly. iPad's styluses are a BIG limitation. Waiting for the Galaxy Note 10.1 to come out.

Apple is gonna screw themselves however with their iBook strategy

Hugh, is the Note 10.1 Android or Samsungs?
- Aron Michalski
Samsung tablet, powered by Android.
- Hugh MacLeod
there are so many OHTER and better distributors of eTextbooks

Apple has been training people on iOS UI for a while. First the phone (training wheels), then the iPad, followed by Lion, new Apple TV, etc. MS has a long way to go but can eventually achieve this if enough businesses buy into Windows 8.

I'm so old I can remember when Steve Gilmor used to talk about whether Facebook will become more open or not.

The browser is the engine for many apps in the Android. It's actually brilliant as a single engine so that apps are not as bloated. Everything is just a tab to open.
- Aron Michalski
easier to charge for an app via itunes (despite their 30%) than it is to do with an html5 mobile app/site. obviously there are existing subscription/access/paywall models for access to the app, but Apple did make that shockingly easy.

they're (the computers in our pockets) sort of like the PS/2s that ran only terminal emulators, plus a little word processing and spreadsheets, 'cause there wasn't yet better stuff around

Browsers is a transitional technology, incubated Apps, UX and high perf JavaScript

Apps are for creating and consumption and the web is for communicating

Apps are for electrons and the web is for photons. We need both to work together

Someone will have to develop a Mother App to keep track of all the millions of apps that will be available. The Mother App will probably function pretty much like the Web does today.

Chrome or a chromy browser is the platform that all the Google stuff works off of. I used to be miffed about it until I saw that one single engine was steering the functions through a central point. Saves space and lets the cloud feed the device.
- Aron Michalski
Oh well at least the guys are getting a point in befroe the show ends. not like last week where they saved all their insight for AFTER the show
- Tina Chase Gillmor
wow that is amazing... Microsoft did not innovate beyond core OS. I suspect they will continue to dominate in Enterprise, but lose their consumer base.

A lot of people like to eat at information social buffets. It's not surprising those people don't see the need for fine dining at RSS feeds.
