Iron Ink Media: Inked Up

If you’re obsessed with all things Apple, particularly the iPhone or iPod touch, you can now go to the next level… with iPhone bedding.

I would like to think that this was designed for young kids, but I have a feeling it will be purchased by grown men who don’t plan on bringing anybody back to their place.

Rumors have been circulating blogs and Twitter for months, but today they were confirmed as Steve Jobs unveiled the Apple iPad tablet computer at an invite-only event.

Like other Apple devices, the iPad will run on a 3G network, have Wi-Fi capabilities, and be compatible with iTunes and the app store. Content publishers are hoping the tablet will be an opportunity to increase subscription revenues.

While Jobs calls the new product “a truly magical and revolutionary product,” other people are skeptical that consumers will agree. The tablet computer in general is not a new product. In fact, you can trace the idea back to at least the 1990’s. But so far no tablet has gained wide acceptance in the market and really taken off. Apple is hoping that with the popularity of the iPhone interface the iPad becomes the first success story.

According to a couple reports out of Korea, the next generation iPhone is scheduled to be released in April. The new iPhone is expected to have a dual-core processor (in a phone? Wow), video chat, improved graphics, OLED display and *gasp!* a removable battery.

The reports refer to the new iPhone as the “4G iPhone” or “iPhone 4G,” although it’s believed that the G refers to “generation” and not 4G as in the network.

Stay tuned.
