3d iPad ? Surface and Google Andriod Futures

Nintendo has announced a 3D capable Pocket computer .
What will Apple's response be ?

• Nothing
• Somehing better
• Modification of the existing

My money says the iPad is destined to be a 3 D Device , combining the IRIS Display brand launched by the Iphone 4 G and combining it with the iPad would yield a perfect platform upgrade for the iPad 2 G, why compete when you can divide and conqueror!

Now How will the Google Android developer team respond ? why of course in BUMPtop fashion. Google closed the 2010 deal earlier this year and took the 3 D Desktop IP off the market. We wait in earnest for a resurfacing of this quite mature 3 D Form of the desk top metaphor.

A battle royale awaits !

UPDATE>
See my comments below
The Press coverage is well layered but misses the point in my humble opinion. the apps are yet to come that extend the touch interface utilising 3 D at the moment its Just a Toy. A great Toy but still in most corporate offices a sackable offence.


Bring on 3 D !
( where are my old blue and red glasses ! )

Will Apple's Steve Jobs Announce A Corporate Partner ship ?

With just a week to go Hype is building around the WWDC "one more thing" feature that Steve loves to keep in his well loved denim.

Likely Candidates for a BIG OOOHHHH AHHHHH Moment.

1. Launch of iPhone 4 - hardly a surprise since the Gizmodo reported Bar Incident!
   
2. Announcement of a "serious" Partnership arrangement - Certainly not an seat shaker but would be clearly aimed at the Wall St crowd.

If we take the video Conferencing as a Given then Mr Jobs needs a BIG plan B
So Who would Apple Partner with ? and Why ?

With 100,000 Apps running around and a fundamental OS impasse with Adobe there seems Two likely candidates

1. Java, With Oracle and Sun still tango-ing it is Java integration is unlikely as it would effectively under cut the entire WWDC Crowd resulting In Steve being dragged from the stage and used as iPhone recycling bag. Certainly an ArrggHHH moment but not the one we would be looking for
2. An ERP OR Tier ONE ISV Platform. Recent releases of "consumer" business apps on iphone Platforms include IBM's Domino or Lotus Client or perhaps a more corporate high profile Partner Like SAP for instance here's SAP's slightly rush to market and under PR'd entrance to the iPhone and iPad online market. SAP BusinessObjects Innovation Center prototypes - SAP BusinessObjects Explorer on iPhone. Just rolls off the tongue doesn't it ?
   Perhaps it sounds Apple Sexxy in German ? Like when a German Apple iPod genius whispers " Ich Benin Ein Sex Machine" into the voice recognition software. I cannot wait to hear Steve's intro to SAP's Man on the spot running that script!
   
3. Some 'other' Killer Cloud App like Video conferencing. Based on an existing install base like Skype. The AIM contract must surely be running out by now !
   There are Quite a few IPhone Apps and gadgets now in the wild that overcome the rear facing camera limitation like the one you see here. Remember Apple holds a patent for this !
   Check out Mac Daddys World for some more depth.

Where to ? Pod Man ? To the Pod Cave of course ! Voice Rec away Pod Mobile!

hold the Press!

The rumour mill search engine of choice has thrown up a Dark HORSE Silverlight for iPad dark indeed!

Steve Jobs to Deliver Apple's WWDC Keynote on June 7

Gizmodo has some Comments and industry Buzz
but the Classic is the Comments picture that shows the
2008 iPHONE
2010 iPad
2012 iBoard
2014 iMat

While humorous as it may seem the Printed LCD Technology and the insatiable growth of WOW factor touch interfaces and the supporting Haptic when combined with Text 2.0 means that Apple are well in front on the Race to the Magic Quadrant.
