Thursday, April 22, 2010 Is your iPad a virtual couch? It's best to think of the iPad not as the world's next laptop but as the world's first couchtop. Much of what we do with computers these days--casually checking e-mail, grazing around the Web--we do sitting on a couch, often with a laptop, though sometimes with a phone. It's these sorts of interactions that the iPad is brilliant at--fast and light, with a bright screen full of richly saturated colors, something you can snuggle up with, just as in those iPad billboards that are suddenly everywhere. If you need to do real work, you'll still need a "real" computer, though it will probably come to seem like meat loaf next to the sizzling steak of the iPad. -Forbes For the full story: www.forbes.com/forbes/2010 More Techwire stories Direct ChassisLink expands to Gulf and PNW Ballast water technology gets basic approval by IMO Purfresh releases new cold chain technology Office Depot to launch into “Greener Shipping” Tesla tests electric car shipments to Japan out of Hueneme	Click to browse past stories on the se topics: Logistics Ports & Infrastructure Economic Outlook Environmental Impact Technology
