This may be the first time I’ve referred to the iPad on the Gazette (OK, knowing how some of you are, I just confirmed this with a quick search), and I don’t plan to do any additional blogging about it in the future, at least not until I get one and can then hold it out as clear evidence of my superior hipsterishness.
And even this post isn’t so much about the iPad itself, as I haven’t seen one in real life, much less tested one (although that hasn’t stopped a disturbingly large number of people from expressing a disturbingly large amount of hate/revulsion/contempt for a small inanimate object and/or its manufacturer; really, people…Get. A. Life.). No, I simply want to point you to Seth Godin’s musings about lessons other businesses, large and small, can learn from the launch of Apple’s latest offering. He makes some great points about how businesses should think about their strategies and their customers. You don’t have to work in the tech industry to benefit from his insights.
