Nice read and your list covers most of the possible usage scenarios.However, There are apprehensions that iPad, at least in the short term, might not prove to be as popular as an iPhone as there are alternatives available for some functions it perform.

Comment on 8 Tips & Tricks When Starting Objective-C iPhone Apps: [self.paradigm shiftFrom:@"ruby" to:@"objective-c"]; by Paul Freeman

Paul Freeman — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:08:17 +0000

Tip 9.

Always run a ‘Build and Analyze’ whenever convenient (it takes a bit longer than a regular build), the analysis option will detect some potential memory management issues and you will find them at compile time instead of waiting until your testing, or Apples app certifiers, or your customers find them…

You need XCode 3 on Snow Leopard for the Analyze feature.

Comment on Down with HTML + Code Markup! by Marnen Laibow-Koser

“HAML I found kind of opaque and hard to read.”

Uh, what? It’s actually easier to read than HTML because you don’t have the endtags and angle brackets cluttering things up. It’s terser and easier on the eyes.

Comment on Using Mocha for ActiveRecord Partial Mocks with Finders by dombesz

dombesz — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:08:06 +0000

Hi,

It is obligatory to save the object before mocking into active record?

Database insertions take much more time than queries.
Probably i misunderstand something?

Comment on A Pair of Kings Beats A Single Ace: Pair Programming, Agile Rails, and You by alfonso

Pairing is an excellent way to get someone on-board, and to make sure trust and confidence develop.

Remote PP can happen with the right tools, not all the way there but we will be soon. Desktop sharing, audio conferencing, task tracking, it can happen.

Comment on Facebook Application Logistics for Team Development by Raj

Raj — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:52:46 +0000

I am little bit puzzled as my application developed as an Iframe for Facebook which works fine but when I changed it to FBML. Facebook server complains that application did not respond. I know application is alive.
I have used Apache Reevese Proxy configuration to talk to my dev environment. If this works for iFrame configured app, it should work for FBML. what is the differnce thanks in advance

Comment on Why would you use a tablet instead of a laptop? (In Pictures) by Jan

Jan — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:19:56 +0000

I think we should question why would you use your laptop when you’re at the beach, on the yacht or sitting on the boardwalk. We shouldn’t need a laptop to enjoy ourselves or to tweet about it.
For those standing up or lying on the couch; a smart phone should suffice. Or better yet, walk back to your desk

Comment on iPad: How big is the space between laptops and iPhones? by Steve

Steve — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:52:36 +0000

I’m still not clear how exactly one is supposed to use an iPad whilst on plane/train/subway/tube? If you’re sitting down, is it flat on your lap or do you hold it up with one hand? Up till now I’ve assumed that you always have to hold it up in one hand (like the iPhone). This would seem seem a disadvantage over the laptop/netbook which purched on my lap or tray-table leaves two hands free.
