  3. What strikes me about the article is that iPad is facing fierce competition from smart phones. I am actually rather surprised that Apple came up with iPad in the first place because we are all expecting mobile devices to get smaller rather than bigger. I am still hoping that we would have some small mobile device that allows us to activate a holographic screen in front of us to access information one day.

  4. Iphone 4S and Steve Jobs maybe the hottest topic these days.
    There is also a joke about that, "Iphone 4 Steve Jobs".
    I followed the news about the the Steve Jobs's DNA. I think we can't copy two people they are the same. It's meaningless.
