First I saw many other tech journalists that had access to hands on demo’s of the Apple iPad during the press event. I was happy and content to crawl the web and do my own post about the features of the Apple iPad from that information. Even though I am a tech blogger, I was happy to wait until the Apple iPad came out to test drive it for myself at the Apple Store.
Then I saw a headline on Mashable titled “Pee Wee’s Big Apple iPad Adventure“.
What?? I was upset wondering when Pee Wee Herman became a tech journalist and why he got to use the Apple iPad before I did.
But then I watched the video, and realized it was the Pee Wee Adventure version; just a sketch.
Tonight as I was watching the Grammy’s I saw one real comedian (and one of my favorites) that had access to a real Apple iPad: Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report used the Apple iPad while presenting. I agree with the post on the AppleiPhoneApps.com – nice product placement! I guess paper ballots will be passe in the future.
If I can’t have a hands on demo of the Apple iPad, maybe I could get my hands on that Twitter Dress (#Twitdress) that Imogen Heap wore to the Grammys. In a brillant use of engaging her community, she tweeted an email address that fans could email pictures – that then appeared on her Twitter stream.
Here is the picture Imogen Heap put on her YFrog account with the techie part of the dress.
lol – Colbert is the man. I would like to get my hands on one of those at some point before Paul Reubans.
