Kids take photos of Earth’s curvature using Balloon and Help from iPad
Oh kids these days get all the fun! I wish my science class (back in the day) offered our class a challenge to fly a cellphone with GPS & camera up into the stratosphere to take photos of the Earth’s curvature. Alas, the closest I came was an egg drop contest, which was designed to teach about gravity, mass, and seat belt safety (don’t ask). A firetruck ladder would drop our eggs in our homemade egg protection cases and see whose eggs survived the fall.

Thanks to iPad, Interesting New Tablets Coming
As many in the computing industry know, tablet computers are not a new idea. We had Windows-based tablets in the middle of last decade that came from heavyweights such as HP, Acer and Dell. However, the devices failed to go mainstream in the business community and have since been relegated to the medical profession where doctors carry tablets around during exams to record and display patient information. However, since the iPad debuted in April, the tablet game has changed. The very popular device sold 3 million units in just 80 days and the industry has now reacted and we’re starting to see new tablet ambitions. This week, Cisco unveiled the Cius this week, a 7 inch tablet computer that is squarely aimed at Cisco’s enterprise customers. Pronounced “see us”, the device will be based on the Android operating system, weight 1.14 pounds, be powered by an Atom processor, and hop on the net via Wi-Fi or 3G. Also, a 4G model will be offered in the future

iPhone economics and lower barriers to entry – The power of the App Store is defined by more than direct revenue.
The App Store has exposed incumbents in the mobile industry to the same sort of asymmetric competition that has reshaped the media industry over the past decade. Developers are responding in droves to the economic incentives that lower barriers to entry create, as well as the fact that the App Store has generated $1 billion in royalty payments in just a few years.
