Did you hear? Apple released a new product!
This is where I would normally shoot down the product identified in the title of this post, but I have a confession to make: when it comes to the iPad 2 I’m one of the pod people .. so to speak. Yeah, I’m a rabid fanboy. So while there has been plenty of noise this past week – both pro and con – about the iPad 2, I am most convinced by articles like this one on Techcrunch written by people who were already fans of the first iPad. Why? Because they were the ones most likely to be disappointed if the product fell short of the hype. So what was the author’s take in this case? Let’s put it this way: I’m getting one in white and one in traditional silver/black. They should be here at the end of next week. Then I’ll write my own review.

I’ve used it almost everywhere I’ve been for just about a week now. There’s no question in my mind that this has replaced my MacBook Pro as my go-to machine.
As for me, I’ll have one of each, please …

Adobe Brings Ad to A Gun Fight – Ends Up On Its Back
Adobe, no one seems to want to say this to you, but I will. Stop it, you’re embarrassing yourself. You’ve just spent God-knows how much money on an ad buy that blankets much of the technology press (including this site). It’s a strange passive-aggressive message that just makes Jobs’ aggressive-aggressive post from a few weeks ago seem even more forceful. And it’s transparent. But worst of all, it won’t work. You must know this. <<Read the Full Article on TechCrunch>>
