Gillmor Gang recording live 1PM Pacific ht

iPad, anyone? :) - Robert J Taylor

How'd they make it so cheap? - Vezquex

Typical of them to hold back multi-tasking until version 2 - beersage

GillmorGang Live with Nicholas Carr, Doc Searls, Kevin Marks and Scoble recording now: http://building43.com/realtime - Cliff Gerrish

I finally can listen live!!!!! - Francine Hardaway

No one handed computing with the iPad. Kind of a big deal. I still want one though. - Mike Doeff

"human beings unfortunately only have two hands" hehe - Christopher Harris

On Gillmor Gang with @stevegillmor @dsearls @scobleizer @nickcarr talking iPad - Kevin Marks

Doesn't Safari (webkit) make the device both vertical and horizontal? - Cliff Gerrish

Given the traditional Apple Tax, I'm really looking forward to an equivalent Android device at at $200-300 price point by year end. - Ken Sheppardson

From your lips to God's ears, KShep. I think I might be tired of Apple. I just had to replace batteries in 2 Apple laptops this week. Very spending - Francine Hardaway

Hey Scoble, are you there? - Cliff Gerrish

Must be AT&T in LA.... - Robert J Taylor

kshep, why do think Android couldn't do this kind of thing first? Why do they always have to follow... - Cliff Gerrish

liner notes, ftw - Karoli

it's not just liner notes, it's a sense of tangible connection to the artist - Kevin Marks

And the connection is real time.. - Cliff Gerrish

If I didn't have a laptop in my living room, I'd buy one. And I may still some day, But I'm not going to be waiting in line. - Matt Terenzio

I just wrote a post about the iPad being the Web made physical: http://epeus.blogspot.com/2010... - Kevin Marks

I will probably buy the iPad - if it multi-tasked, def. would - Rob La Gesse

Will likely buy one, too - the $499 version -- def. not the AT&T one. Like the use of ePub for ebook format, especially - Robert J Taylor

the form factor is more interesting than the device. I think that Google will move quickly into this space. - Jim Posner

I'd need the AT&T to seal the deal, but I spend time in the suburbs and rural areas. - Matt Terenzio

Yes the SDK. So are the apps going to be different from the iPhone? - Francine Hardaway

It may actually cause wifi networks to formalize around the country. - Cliff Gerrish

Francine: will be a superset of iPhone SDK options/capabilities. - Robert J Taylor

I will buy it. I buy everything. Then I give it away to friends and family. That's how I stay poor - Francine Hardaway

Doc, I totally agree. that was what I had hoped for...that it was more of a device to produce content than to consume. - Karoli

Right. No camera. - Francine Hardaway

Francine, I'm a baeball fan and I love the idea of the MLB app with more screen real estate. I can track the game, watch replay videos, see in depth stats, and maybe even track tweets about the game on one screen. - Mike Doeff

Camera will be in V2 - Jim Posner

Even Tweetdeck would be better with more screen real estate, Mike:-) - Francine Hardaway

I think people will find unexpected ways to create "content" with this device. - Cliff Gerrish

How do you know, Jim - Francine Hardaway

Will be a great supplement to Broadcast TV. Play along with Jepoardy etc. - Matt Terenzio

SDK has a "take photo" option now - Jim Posner

no - sofarsoShawn

Oh yeah, I did read that - Francine Hardaway

Cliff, re why Android couldn't do this first... I think there's stuff in the pipe, ala the Dell Mini 5, other things we haven't seen, but until Apple puts their stamp on it and validates the form factor, no matter what options from MSI or Asus are out there, they'd just get dismissed out of hand. - Ken Sheppardson

I think it's an issue of integrated vs. modular production. No other company has all the threads under their control. - Cliff Gerrish

Remember, the iPad we saw yesterday is not the iPad that will ship. It only gets better from here. http://mickeleh.blogspot.com/2010... - Michael Markman

I am not sure about the mutltitasking..I heard yesterday that you could play music and watch photos at the same time. - Jim Posner

How will newspapers deal with the fact that they can't force animated ads down our throat? - Matt Terenzio

There are a few things that are allowed in background—like playing music, but it's not full-bore multi-tasking. - Michael Markman

People are going to blame websites that have flash for not making their sites work on the device of their choice (the iPhone or iPad), they aren't going to blame Adobe or Apple. - Mark Trapp

Jobs watched a slideshow with a soundtrack, and you can listen to the built in music player on the iPhone, right? But can you listen to Pandora while you work on email at the coffee shop? - Ken Sheppardson

Then again, re multitasking... I wonder how many iPad owners won't also own an iPhone? - Ken Sheppardson

Now they're switching to Chrome. - Ken Sheppardson

we don't want silverlight either . . . - Matt Terenzio

And Chrome just took me away from Building 43 to enter a comment on FF #fail - Francine Hardaway

Re integrated vs modular production... the alternative to the integrated Apple iPad experience will be a commodity Asus/HTC/MSI/Dell device running Android with Google controlling the experience. - Ken Sheppardson

Chrome is Google's attempt at integrated design and production. - Cliff Gerrish

I thought I'd get an applause on that one. . . - Matt Terenzio

flash parser in Javascript + SVG: http://paulirish.com/work... - Kevin Marks

What'll stop it is $499. It's unstoppable at $199. - Ken Sheppardson

I actually forgot the iPad was from Apple for an hour during the presentation. :-) - Jim Posner

worth pointing out that Steve has been right a zillion times over on the iPhone...just sayin'. - Karoli

Trouble streaming from Brasil...roadie bandwidth hogs probably. - Aron Michalski

Yesterday Leo Laporte said that you can fit it into your pocket if you have Captain Kangaroo pockets. Maybe this will start a new fashion trend. :) - Mike Doeff

So what do I get rid of? The Kindle? - Francine Hardaway

I'm keeping my Kindle and waiting for 2.0 on the iPad - Karoli

I'd be tempted to go back to an actual PHONE, ala some light little LG flip phone and carry an iPad-like device in my bag/car - Ken Sheppardson

@JimPosner LOL and +1 - Karoli

The eco system the iPad is going to create will alone make the device a success. All that screen real estate will take what were iPhone apps to an entirely new level. - Jerry Schuman

I already have an Air, an iPhone, and a Kindle. Not to mention a Mini, a MacBook, a Shuffle. I'm such a jerk. - Francine Hardaway

My 16-yo daughter loves her Nook, but she'd trade it for an iPad. - Karoli

Give me a flip phone with next generation T9/predictive texting and I'd dump the "smartphone"... if I had a 10" mid-size screen like this. Hm... - Ken Sheppardson

It's not a mobile device - Matt Terenzio

Oooh, KShep. That could be an answer. Then we can get rid of AT&T - Francine Hardaway

Except for reporters and academics etc. - Matt Terenzio

Dell Mini 5 + LG/Samsung flip phone - Ken Sheppardson

Yeah this is all about HOW successful it will be. In other words, will it change the world or just make them a ton of money? - Matt Terenzio

I've never experienced a problem with AT&T . They must be good in the NYC area or something - Matt Terenzio

Apple has indoctrinated millions into a new form of handheld interaction. You're fooling yourself if you don't think this is a major push forward by Apple for a first gen device and a new platform. - Jerry Schuman

It opens up the possibilities for the "Personal Area Network": basic phone that gives you connectivity/hotspot, then whatever size WiFi device is appropriate for your environment. - Ken Sheppardson

Matt, making a ton of money will be the first step to changing the world. - Karoli

Apple has a patent for a camera that is actually your screen. Wait for that in the next gen iPad for your forward facing camera. - Jerry Schuman

Karoli, I know that's why I've been trying to make a ton of money. ; ) I'm not just greedy. - Matt Terenzio

Meanwhile, you'll have a webcam that docks with with iPad that you clip to something in front of you within 60 days of the iPad launch. - Ken Sheppardson

Iphone tethered via bluetooth to be your camera for the iPad. - Jerry Schuman

iPad = an iPhone that goes to 11. - Mike Doeff

my stepfather would be a total iPad candidate. He's smart but not computer smart, very intuitive. - Karoli

Sounds a little Orwellian Jerry. Steve Jobs says, "C'mon Matt one more pushup. . ." - Matt Terenzio

Nobody is talking about instant on either.. huge factor for the iPad. Pull it out of your briefcase and you're off and running - Jerry Schuman

A revolution that only takes two releases is a pretty efficient revolution... - Cliff Gerrish

the iPad itself is not going to be the catalyst for the "next big thing" its the developer community that will do that. - Jerry Schuman

"Notebook maker MSI is ready to enter both the tablet and Android markets with a 10-inch touch tablet being readied for release late this year. The tablet will be based on the Nvidia Tegra processor and should hit the market for $500. The new tablet will run the Android OS and is reported to be “thin and light.” It would seem that the big iPad launch hasn’t killed the competition, at least not yet." -- http://jkontherun.com/2010... - Ken Sheppardson

focus on iWork was the part that least interested me personally, tho I understood it from a biz standpoint. - Karoli

Picture iMovie with a well executed touch screen interface for editing video - Mike Doeff

People are reading things into how much he sat. - Ken Sheppardson

It's a question of paternity, is the tablet the son of the iPhone or the Laptop? There's a big difference. - Cliff Gerrish

Mike, that sounds far more interesting than Keynote presentations. :) - Karoli

nice punch line, Steve. That's sort of game, set, match right there. LOL. - Karoli

Foursquare next gen app for iPad will support instant menus for restaurants upon checking in. - Jerry Schuman

I want to be able to work on my i-something. - Francine Hardaway

Karoli, yeah the Keynote stuff was underwhelming - Mike Doeff
