It is the end of an era period. Steve Jobs who is considered the leading technology CEO has tendered his resignation. The letter he sent to Apple staff: To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community: I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come. I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee. As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our...

After my huge portion of humble pie which I ate after the initial Apple iPad launch I purchased an Apple iPad 2. Talk about irony and more ironic twists; it seems that my initial reservations over Apple iPad were totally unfounded. I consume a lot of online media (magazines, RSS feeds and blog posts) and took the decision to buy an iPad 2 to be able to be mobile.

Consider also getting an additional Apple plug and cable set to be able to charge your iPad 2 at...

Regular readers will be aware that this year has a big elephant in the room. The Elephant is so big that every electronic manufacturer wants to see it but only a few have the capacity to do so. The tablet ecosystem is very congested and has many players in it. There is one dominant brand in it (Apple) which can make or break the opportunity that other manufacturers have to enter the ecosystem. The actual hardware makers that produce all the bits for the iPad can be seen as the silent heroes of the ecosystem and are signed to very stringent contracts to do the things that Steve Jobs and his staff...

Steve Jobs, the super hero of the computing world unveiled the Apple iPad 2 yesterday. It indicated that he is still very much in charge of Apple, behind the scenes. The first generation iPad was a massive success and put Apple into a very strong position in the tablet market. “With more than 15 million iPads sold, iPad has defined an entirely new category of mobile devices,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “While others have been scrambling to copy the first generation iPad, we’re launching iPad 2, which moves the bar far ahead of the competition and will likely cause them to go back to the...
