Did Bill Gates spill the beans on secret Microsoft tablet projects? http://www.techflash.com/seattle... Will he be fired?

RT @jgpmolloy @ianbetteridge hmmm. tablet PC market last year 1.06 million units. iPad market last month 1 million units.

MSFT's Origami dreams realized in Apple's iPad success: $499 price point, 1 million sold in first month (via @robbushway)

iPad sales reach 1 million in 28 days according to Apple. Blows away 1st year Tablet PC sales.

RT @WarnerCrocker Thoughts on Broken Tablet Dreams http://www.gottabemobile.com/2010.... Me: Win 7 touch slates are sub-iPad quality & higher prices.

iPad has 2-4 year lead on Windows classic slates. Microsoft is catching up now with iPhone after several years too. Microsoft percerviers.

RT @WarnerCrocker HP Killing the Slate? http://www.gottabemobile.com/2010... Me: if true, sad day for Microsoft Windows 7.

RT @fyiguy Is MS' Courier really cancelled or evolving into another product? I think consumers are more intuned to purchasing this.

Quite a few paper/pen/drawing apps for iPad. The finger tip may be alive, but plenty of interest in supporting pen and paper on device.

Should desktop/mice based web browsers support multiple-touch or should non-mouse based browsers support mt natively?

Is the Apple position that open web standards support multitouch and Flash does not?

RT @shelisrael Gawker reports on Jon Stewart slamming Apple on MotoGate http://tv.gawker.com/5526868... Me: video watchable on iPad & iPhone.

More and more OEMs look like they like the $500 price point for tablets too. Is everyone trying to go with premium prices?

More friends saying iPad fails as laptop replacement on trips. Mainly issues with Pages' & Keynote's limitations.

Apple may not want code translators for iPhone, but WP7 could allow them: objective c to silverlight. Of course 1st step is Win iPhone sim.

Goal: to emulate iPhone on a Windows multitouch device.

Is there Objective C/iPhone runtime for VS2010? Or even Objective C/iPhone to Silverlight xlator? Would like to test dev on my HP multitouch

When is the iPad useful? When the iPhone runs out of juice.

Which model is better for students: iPhone or Windows Phone 7?

Could have emailed Steve Jobs that the person found an iPhone that looked like a prototype. Lots of ways to return phone.
