While many may discount the importance of Apple's new service - it may dramatically change how our children learn and and the tools they learn with. When the Kindle launched - I wondered how long it would be before consumers would migrate to digital - Then the iPad arrived and I thought how long would it be before I would have to purchase a tablet as a required tool for my children's education. Apple's announcement may hold the answers for the education market. I already have colleagues who have been asked by their schools to purchase iPads for their children - I have a problem with purchasing a $500 iPad for a 6 year-old. So I hope Apple's announcement includes the "iPad Student Edition" @ $199.
On a media note, it will be interesting to see how this service will affect publishers like Pearson Education.

Good news for the United Kingdom’s consumers, O2, the giant online mobile retailer, has announced that it has just reduced the prices for both the Blackberry Bold 9900 and the Torch 9810.

The technology that is emerging continues to amaze...but it can also befuddle many clients. Businesses need to rely on industry experts such as Hamilton in order to get the tools they need so as to not miss great new opportunities.

Your brand is an organization, service, or personality that is shaped by the perceptions of the audience. The designer cannot make a brand, only the audience can do this, a designer forms the foundation.

When it comes to TVs — often the flashiest, most buzzed-about gadgets at the International Consumer Electronics Show — it takes several years for reality to catch up to the hype.

HDTV debuted at CES in 1998, but it was another five or six years before HD sets became common in living rooms. 3-D TV arrived at CES in 2009 amid massive hoopla but has yet to catch on with mainstream consumers.

Wise words from R. Crain... consumers don't want hype. They want reality & authenticity. They don't want a corporate drone telling them "eat our vegetables" as much as they want real people engaging with them and understanding their passions. If your only intent is to use SM to promote your own company & what you're selling, you've already lost. The relationship between Brand & customers is just like any other relationship - you appreciate those who know exactly who they are, what they stand for and are authentic in everything they do; those who are fishing for who they want to be when they grow up and lack authenticity will eventually fall by the wayside.

CES - If you can hold off on buying a tablet for a few more weeks - you'll be pleased to find sub-$200 tablets that will run ICS. Expect prices to drop like stones and for consumers to migrate to non-iPad models once they discover that they can play angry birds on them.

I sure hope that this is true. A $299 iPad would likely cause a shock wave throughout the tablet market. Consumers who were on the fence about spending $500 on an iPad would only have to justify spending $100 more than on a Kindle Fire. More than just grabbing a few customers from Amazon -- Apple will remain the tablet market leader -- that is unless Google unveils something special later this year.
