MG Sieglers Hands-On Report on the Imminent
Amazon Kindle Tablet

post from Daring Fireball on 02 September 2011 06:03:40 PM. © Daring Fireball

7-inch color touchscreen, no e-ink, running a customized Amazon-branded fork of Android. This will be the first successful iPad rival. Amazon has the whole ecosystem in place: the existing Kindle brand, happy Kindle users, books, magazines, newspapers, movies. That’s what all the other Android tablets lack.

I see this more as a way for Amazon to continue and expand the Kindle’s existing success, not something that’s going to slow the iPad down.

San Francisco Man Says Visitors Impersonating
Police Searched His Home Looking for Lost iPhone 5 Prototype

post from Daring Fireball on 02 September 2011 04:03:32 PM. © Daring Fireball

Nice reporting by Peter Jamison at SF Weekly:

If accurate, his account raises the possibility that Apple security personnel attempting to recover the prototype falsely represented themselves as police officers — a criminal act punishable by up to a year in jail in the state of California — or that SFPD employees colluding with Apple failed to properly report an extensive search of a person’s home, car, and computer.

Cook’s first crisis at the helm?

MG Siegler on the iPad as a PC Replacement

MG Siegler:

The press has to write about and review the iPad because that?s what they do. But they?re also the worst possible candidates for iPad usage.
I?ve slowly come to realize this over time. When I went on vacation a few months ago, I brought both my laptop and my iPad. I promised myself I wouldn?t do any work during the trip ? as a result, the laptop never came out. Not once. The iPad? I used it every single day, for hours.

Great piece.
