Steve Jobs says he is selling an iPad every three seconds. He has also announced that iBooks has now taking over 22% of the ebook market in a little more than 2 months. My man Seth Godin is desperately trying to help his Kindle buddies by suggesting that they may have to give away their beloved Kindles to keep any kind of market share. The money to be made in the ebook world is in books not devices.
After having my iPad for a while, I couldn't be any more in love. Apps are my new thing. This week I have picked up rollercoasters, Skee Ball and looking at a few more. Not sure when apps will work on PC's - maybe never. That may mean iPad will be my default device and Mr Jobs didn't have to utter a word. His product spoke for itself, the new frontier.
Found Rock-it today and see birthday presents in my future. I belong to a site called Jasmere. It is basically a group buy site. With 21 hours to go, the Rock-it is selling for 64% less than the web site price and hoping for more. I will wait until hour 19 or so and see how many more people are in and how much more the price has gone done. Pretty cool.
The thing is, life is changing every day. Every day is new and never more than now. When I went from paper scrapbooking to digital, unknowingly I became aware of the instant (and daily) gratification of the marketplace. Every day and several times a day, I have access to digital SB products. EVERYDAY. Paper could never compete with that, never. I can shop at 3AM. I can get a coupon from the internet or know where the sales are on Twitter. That is how I found Orig Audio (Rock-it) and Jasmere.
We will be rock cereal boxes and furniture soon. Anywhere, anything. The cardboard speakers will be awesome. Rain, rain, go away - or stay ... I am good
