This is for coordination of an action at the Apple Tablet event in San Francisco on Wednesday, January 27, 2010.

People

  • John Sullivan
  • Mike Linksvayer
  • Henri Poole (?)

Ideas for the action

In the past we've used the yellow HazMat suits, but this seems like a good occasion to break out something new. Ideas?

Messages for the action

Amazon's recent actions suggest that the Apple Tablet may have a strong ebook reader component, which undoubtedly will be DRM-infected, and probably closely coupled with the iTunes store.

The device will have a proprietary OS, of course. But will it go even further and be tethered to an App Store like the iPhone?
