The iPad (with wings?)

Apple just announced a few days ago on january 27th that they will be launching their newest product...the iPad



Marketed as a a segment between the smart phone and the laptop, this new revolutionary piece of technology demonstrates Apples constant innovation in its field of smart mobile technology.

With over $50B in annual revenue and a leading company in the world (in terms of revenue) for mobile communication devices. This new product presents itself as a new
product with possible new marketing implications.

The iPad has many features and is entering the market as a Ebook reader similar to the new Amazon Kindle

The iPad can be seen as a new media channel in which to spread a company marketing messages.

However, not all things have been going so smoothly for the iPad

One of the more humourous snags in its launch are its references to a certain feminine hygienic product such as

"I'm already going through like 4 or 5 iPads a day because of my heavy workflow."

Other fans have posted videos on YouTube criticizing its perceived deficiencies such as "Hitler responds to the iPad"


It will be interesting to see how this effects the net in the coming months.

Surprise!

In the middle of some heavy internet procrastination, I became suddenly curious about the number of internet users in the world.

So as any half-wit internet user would do, I did a quick internet search of what I thought would pull up some quick and accurate results.

Google: "American Internet Users"

and the number one results come up as www.google.com/publicdata

The data from this website is pulled from World bank which in turn is supported by google.

The format allows you to select which countries you would like to see for internet usage.

So I picked the top three economies in the world: US, China, and Japan

and Canada and the world for good measure


The results were quite surprising.

Not so much for china and the world....but to see that America, Japan and Canada, highly developed countries, have only 75% of their population as Internet users.

I was under the impression that everyone in Canada or America had access to the internet in their homes, saving a small percentage located in very remote locations....but I highly doubt 25% of the American population lives in remote areas.

Surprising.
