A New Slide for the PowerPoints

By now, you've surely seen the SocialNomics YouTube PPT about the value of social media. In it is a mainstay item of how long go X number users/viewers of key technologies of the late 20th century.

Well, here's the next slide: while Apple isn't officially talking, industry experts see iPad at more than a million units (some say 1.3 this week with an additional 300k of the new 3G units).

What's the big deal?

iPad has been out for less than one month.

It took iPhone 71 days to reach a million units.

And iPad has no compelling use. It costs a lot more than he phone.

But those 1.3 million screens are threatening to change they way the entire Internet presents video (the flash debate). Just might make good on the promise of reforming the print media industry. And in further news this week, Amazon makes a grand gesture by changing its banner ad to a "download the Kindle app for iPad."

Yeah, it's just a toy.
