The iPad as a Peripheral Display

post from TheAppleBlog on 28 February 2010 02:47:00 PM. © TheAppleBlog

I was thrilled to hear that current apps will be compatible with the iPad, but I’m more excited for apps that haven’t been written yet. Apps for the iPhone and iPod touch are designed for use while being held. There’s an exciting new use case that comes with the iPad — when it’s sitting in the dock. Owners not only have a new device to read news while on the couch, but they also have the perfect peripheral display.

What’s a peripheral display? Something that provides basic information without distracting you from your primary task. It runs silently in the background and it’s there when you need to retrieve some glanceable information. You already use plenty of them every day: clocks, stock tickers, weather icons, unread email icons, etc. I currently use one app on my iPhone as a peripheral display: Flip Clock. I think we are soon going to see a lot more apps like this.

My perfect peripheral display app would come with a few basic widgets like a clock, calendar, stocks, weather, and access to photos on the iPad. The app could then offer upgrades (perhaps $2.99 each) for access to services like Flickr, Picasa, Twitter, Facebook, CNN (and other news sites), etc. The app could be free with the requirement that one of the widgets shows advertisements. A quick paid upgrade (perhaps $9.99) would remove the ads and offer a spot for another widget.

I’ve taken the liberty of mocking up in Photoshop what this app may look like using the iPad GUI. Below you can see a few basic widgets, a tweet that changes every few minutes, and a photo slideshow powered by Flickr. The tweet includes a link which when tapped should close this app and launch Safari. This applies to the other widgets too; tapping them should launch their corresponding apps. Interactivity makes this app better than any digital picture frame available.

There are tons of apps that provide basic information, but now they can be combined to take advantage of the larger screen.

Now that I’ve filled your head with ideas, go build it! Just think of me when you publish the app to the store. Also, let me know if you think this is a good idea.

Merlin Mann on The Atlantics Dropping of
Full-Content RSS Feeds

post from Daring Fireball on 28 February 2010 12:58:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Merlin Mann:

This reeks of the same bush-league decision-making that hobbled Hulu, gets music fans sued, and keeps high-quality content locked in a tower like an aging virgin — too special to be manhandled by the riff-raff who are reluctant to pony up the lavish dowry that was the fashion fifty years earlier.

The good news: it’s a bug in The Atlantic’s new CMS. But so while Merlin’s arguments don’t apply to The Atlantic in particular, they stand as a fine essay on the turning point traditional paper-and-ink publications are facing.

iPhone, Android, and WebOS Demographics Via AdMob
Survey

post from Daring Fireball on 28 February 2010 12:27:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

I question whether the survey group is representative of the platforms as a whole, but some of the numbers are striking. Android skews heavily male, for one thing. But by far the most striking stat in these results is the number for 17-and-under users:

iPhone: 13%
iPod Touch: 65%
Android: 7%
WebOS: 2%

For the phones, 17-or-younger is the smallest demographic. For the iPod Touch, on the other hand, it is by far the largest. More evidence that the iPod Touch is the strongest competitive asset for iPhone OS.

Deep Insight Into Apple From Morgan Stanley
Analyst Kathryn Huberty

post from Daring Fireball on 28 February 2010 11:54:00 AM. © Daring Fireball

Thank goodness Apple Insider is here to bring me wisdom such as this, from analyst Kathryn Huberty:

“We expect Apple to launch new iPhones in June that offer both a lower total cost of ownership and new functionality, potentially including gesture-based technology.”

Huberty, of course, is the analyst who 10 months ago set a target for Apple’s April 2010 stock price at $105. As of Friday, it was over $204. I’m sure investors who listened to her advice then have a certain gesture for her.
