What the iPad Means for the Future of Computing
February 1st, 2010 admin
When I picked up my iPhone over the weekend, I had an epiphany. I was using the LinkedIn app to confirm an invitation to connect, and it hit me: This is the future of mobile computing, the mobile web — the mobile experience . No, I’m not saying the LinkedIn app is the future per se (that’d be silly), but rather the overall concept of it. The LinkedIn iPhone app is, in my opinion, better than the actual LinkedIn.com website. Same goes for the Facebook app compared to Facebook.com. Gone are their busy, tab-infested UIs. In their stead are beautiful bubbly icons screaming “Touch me!” We no longer have to squint or click…

My Kitchen iPad...My iPad mounted in kitchen cabinet. Additional info at www.technolog.ie Sound is output to aux input of mini stereo (until I replace that with powered speakers). This is just the beginning for this great device! More pics at http The iPad is easily removeable (without unscrewing) - the wooden slat holding it in place is just tight enough to hold it snug. No power supply fitted yet (because battery power very good) but that is coming soon - just need to get the dremel out again. Some people have commented about the hole left in the cabinet when I remove the iPad, I have an 8x10 photo (NOT of an iPad!) glued to a piece of wood that slots into the holder on the back of the cabinet door. I bought a replacement door (which happened to be on sale) before cutting the original, in case it all went pear shaped (no pun intended!), so at any time I can abandon the idea and restore the kitchen back to the way it was. Future developments: - Install power source for iPad. - Use Apple remote App on the iPad to stream all my music from iMac to stereo via Airport express (when Apple get around to updating their Remote App to work in landscape mode!) - Radio streaming App. - EyeTv for live TV. Coverflow for browsing music would be nice - a curious omission from Apple. Bluetooth headset for Skype calls - anybody know a headset that will pair with the iPad, my Motorola won't. - Self powered speakers to bypass stereo altogether; a commenter suggested ceiling speakers - nice!
