Daily update on del.icio.us links with my notes. I also just tweet links @stuarthenshall
- .@DocSearls writes Up the creek without an iPaddle | Agree so lets promote the strategies that make the alternative appealing. – "What you also have to appreciate is how much we also need the horizontal one. The iPad needs an open alternative, soon. There should be for the iPad what Google’s Nexus One is for the iPhone."
Not sure about the Nexus1 comparison. It's more to do "ease of use", "availablity", "simplicity". We should be concerned – iPad is a very closed system (which will be jailbroken but that matters little) and yet as a "tool" it will simplify training and adoption. Eg as the clipboard or many other replacements. iPHones and iPods train the users. It's a good bet and developers can see the opportunity.
The N900 is a good example of what could take it on… however development is glacially slow and Nokia is playing copycat rather than applying / developing a winning strategy. Open is their best chance – particularly given their base.
