Yours Truly, Interviewed by CBC’s Nora Young Regarding the iPad ★

15-minute overview of my initial impressions. (I’m finding it hard to remember to say “iPad” when talking about it — I keep wanting to keep calling it “the tablet”.)

Update: Fireballed at the moment, alas. But the direct link to the MP3 is still available.

‘You’ll Rule the World’ ★

Alan Kay, regarding his reaction to the iPhone in January 2007:
