Fever ray acceptance speech

Challenging accepted norms, pushing the boundariezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Any opinions on this? Sure it's just a big iPhone but anyone thought of the actual implications of that. From what I've seen of the iPhone/touch (don't actually own one) it's a fantastic machine, it's success driven by third party apps. You can't fault the business model: the more iPhone's sold, the more quality, professionally developed apps. The more apps available, the more units sold.
With this new iPad touch, you're opening up the iPhone not a whole new market but a considerably larger market who have bought into the iPhone in pricipal but getting buy without it eg me. I want telly, videos, newspapers and facebook on the move but I don't want it on a 3 inch screen. At the same time I don't always like dragging the laptop I use for work away on weekend breaks or having to sit by recharging posts in departure lounges.
Once the big guns start developing apps for the iPad alone then it'll really take off. Just my opinion of course.
At the same time you have DRM issues and no doubt there will be teething problems with things like battery life but in two years time I doubt people will be saying "it's just a big iPhone".
One thing for sure, it will eventually kill of the market I've been working in for the last year – coin in, touchscreen video games – totally dead.
It's for people who don't have an ibook or iphone and need something inbetween. I'm interested, but not until you can fold it in half so it still fits in your pocket.

Yeah. It's a portable billing device!
All the hype centres around the purchaser being able to run up further big bills using it as a movie viewer, book viewer, music player and apps platform.
It's really an iPay™

I'd buy one if it had a video output to send to a data projector, and if it ran Microsoft Office. I'm expecting Microsoft office to appear on it very quickly, but gutted that it appears that I can't slip it into my bag to do presentations. Unless that appears, it's a big missed opportunity for me.

Rubbing off as madness? I was under the impression it affected the eyesight!

Dont waste money on an expensive iPad. Simply hold an iPod Touch closer to your face.

Wash your mouth out. Karin's been around so much longer.
I'm sorry that was low ;0) ... and infinitely better too! 'Tho I am by no means a Gaga-hater. It'd be impossible for me not to have some admiration for someone *that* mad
