iPad’s Identity Crisis
This seems like quite a fair review of the iPad: “The bottom line is this: the iPad has an identity crisis. It’s not quite a serious e-reader, and it’s not quite a serious tablet PC. It’s probably great at handling multimedia, but it’s not nearly portable enough to be considered a portable media player. It’s great for tabletop use, but it can’t multitask, so you’re left with a machine that’s seriously limited in what can do well. It’s also inherently limited by whatever applications are delivered in the App Store…”

Regarding David Murray’s take on sermons; I like his two views on preaching:
High view of preaching: Some people seem to think that pastors “receive” their messages direct from God. They imagine some mysterious process by which the pastor just “gets” a sermon.
Low view of preaching:Others think that a pastor just spends the week relaxing, gets up on a Sunday, and says the first thing that comes into his mind with little or no forethought or planning.
In my humble view, I would love to have BOTH views become MORE common. ;)
Let it be said that I am a mac person and I did watch the keynote the next day on my iphone. No not the actual day,as I was on the road most of that day. My macbook is just fine. If I were to spend money with Apple it would to upgrade my almost three year old MacBook. I do love my MacBook!!!
The IPAD is a wonderful looking device fer sure. I loved the article I saw in the London Times Online. The byline was,”Can Apple’s Jesus Tablet deliver a miracle.” The author says,..the world will be watching and not just the black polo-necked thick-specced,champagne tech crowd who normally weep sycophantic tears of idolatry every time Steve Jobs appears in public.”
I have to admit that I am one of those people,although I don’t have a alter of Jobs in my house that I bow down to,I do think he is a god to a lot of people. I often do pray for the man and to my God to reap on me Osteen like blessings in order that I might buy more Apple toys. I do mean the later part of that statement as total tongue in cheek.
