I love watching the Charlie Rose show, and I love hearing some serious technology experts talk about the iPad. Combine those two things and, at least for me, it’s a total chocolate plus peanut butter moment.
So I just enjoyed the heck out of watching twenty plus minutes of Charlie talking to Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, Mike Arrington of TechCrunch, and David Carr of the New York Times all about the iPad. There are of course a number of great insightful lines throughout the show, but my two favorites – both from David Carr at around the 12:10 mark – are these:
This’ll be a more viral gadget than most, because it’s so large … if you’re sitting next to someone it’s going to market itself.
It was a terrible day for Amazon and a terrible day for Kindle. … but he left the picture of the Kindle up there for like two minutes and it looked like something mennonites made 150 years ago.
The entire video of the talk is great stuff to watch and listen to. Check it out HERE.
