  Anticipated Amazon Tablet to Take Aim at Apple iPad 

  Drumbeat for Amazon tablet is getting louder by the day. Both Amazon and Apple have completely changed the content consumption game:

  A competition between Amazon and Apple tablets will be a battle that pits the company that created the first popular e-reader (and set off a still-unfolding revolution in how books are consumed) against the company that created the first popular tablet (and set off a revolution in progress about how entertainment and other media are consumed).

  Maine School Buys 285 iPad 2s for Pilot Project with Kindergartner Kids 

  Maine school is embarking on an interesting initiative. They are buying 285 iPad 2s and give it to kindergartner kids. In terms of overall cost involved in kindergartner stage, spend on iPad 2 is a small overhead.

  The idea began when teachers who owned iPad noticed a significant improvement in kindergartners — who had previously had trouble learning the alphabet — who were exposed to educational software on the iPad. The device is seen as more portable and less expensive than laptop computers, and more appropriate for the age group’s hands-on use. Officials hope to raise the literacy rates in the district from 62 to 90 percent within two years.

  This is exactly the kind of project we at Fliplog dream about. Download numbers and feedback we have received from users of Hindi app tells us that kids get tremendous amount of learning support from iPad apps. Parents were loving it and now schools are jumping into this adoption game.

  How iPad Can Save Media Industry? 

  

  iPad launch is going in full swing. People are raving about it. It’s not just the regular Apple fanboys who are relishing the launch, media executives all across the world are waiting with the proverbial bated breath.

  Robert Niles recommending Video on Demand – What is your strategy for delivering news via Video on Demand?

  John Dvorak’s predictable rant on MarketWatch. His point – The device that they are openly touting may provide the death knell for the lot of them. The gushing, long-winded yet shallow reviews do not help their cause.

  Kleiner Perkins’ Doubles Down The iFund To $200 Million For the iPad

  http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/31/kleiner-perkins-ipad-fund/

  Main quotes by John Doerr:

  It feels like Deja Vu all over again. Twice in a lifetime

  iPad is direct, it’s natural. WYTIWis — what you touch, is what is

  I don’t know. I don’t know what apps are going to be built, but let me tell you about some I think about. I think every doctor and nurse will use an iPad. I don’t think we can anticipate the great new uses.

  Within 5 weeks one of the stealth ventures is going to roll out an app that’s iPad-only. And quickly we’ll see education apps which will transform things.
