So, the iPad 3 arrives, but it isn’t the iPad 3

In many ways I’m pleased. It is after all, just a speed bump. They’ve upgraded a bunch of stuff, it’s faster, more memory etc etc. Nice. But nothing revolutionary in this iteration, and that’s fine with me. I think it is like the 3GS was to the 3G. The next iPad will be a significant upgrade. I hope to anyway. For now, I’ll try to order this one if I can even get onto the Apple store.

The App Side – Music Apps, Beyond The Hype

I went along to this event by the AppSide last night and was impressed to hear mobile music creation tools mentioned quite a few times. Of course, the main focus was around mobile artist apps, which was interesting to a degree, but the data was probably the most interesting things. Turns out that music apps are sticky! Who knew?
