Friday, May 7 Paul Colligan

So I’m done with the 30 day part of the iPad Experiment. Next week a video review (or 2) and a special gift for anyone who owns an iPad. Things worth looking at this weekend: My short wrap-up post on the experiment and things I learned can be found here. John Reese went through some…Read More »

Weekend Roundup: Returns And Launches Edition

Friday, April 30 Paul Colligan

Old favorites are coming back (in some new ways) this weekend: John Reese is back in this space with some fascinating training on outsourcing (“the right way”) for $2 an hour. AFF The iPad 3G launches late today, but I still have some questions. With Facebook launching this new “Like” feature, wouldn’t it be great…Read More »

Is Your Next Book An App?

Monday, April 12 Paul Colligan

I’ve been saying for a few years now that the real definition of Web 2.0 is “your content on your customer’s terms.” Everything really comes down to that as far as I’m concerned. Techcrunch recently published a piece that says that authors need to publish their “next book” as an App (instead of an iBook)….Read More »

The Problem With iBooks – The Platform Is Very Limited

Monday, March 1 Paul Colligan

The last 10 or so books I’ve read have all been on my Kindle. Not only are we a 2-Kindle family but I can show you that I’ve actually saved money on these devices. Every time I pick up a business book that retails at least fifteen bucks more for the dead tree edition, I…Read More »

What Screen Is The iPad – And Does It Matter?

Monday, February 22 Paul Colligan

There is a concept called the “fourth screen” (link goes to Wikipedia) that you need to be familiar with for this post to make sense. There’s actually a concept of the fifth screen (again, Wikipedia link) as well, but we need to chat about that later. In short, the idea is that the “first” screen…Read More »

The iPad Is Cheaper Than A Netbook? Running The Numbers

Wednesday, January 27 Paul Colligan

Update: I’ll be keeping things up to date re the latest iPad Price over at Paul’s iPad. Gizmodo has the deets on the iPhone 3G data pricing. We need to get real on the numbers here. There are people who (feel, at least, that they) need to access data wherever they are. I’m one of…Read More »
