Le Blog d'EDIPRO: "« Malgré quelque 4,2 millions unités écoulés depuis son lancement, en avril, l’iPad d’Apple reste un succès tout relatif. Les ventes ont d’ailleurs été jugées insuffisantes par les marchés, qui ont sanctionné le titre Apple en octobre. L’iPad n’est pas encore la révolution numérique tant attendue pour les journaux et les magazines. « C’est une première étape ayant pour vertu d’éduquer à la lecture d’une information numérique », estime Philippe Torres, directeur des études et du conseil de l’Atelier BNP Paribas. » Un article de Trends online.

Des iPad pour réduire la consommation de papier dans un ministère canadien - iPad en France avec VIPad.fr, le blog iPad: "Les membres du cabinet ministériel de la province de Saskatchewan au Canada se sont vus affecter un iPad dans le but de réduire la consommation de papier au sein de l'organisation.

Selon cet article il a été calculé que le coût des 23 iPad achetés (23 000 $) serait remboursé deux fois en un an environ, ceci grâce à l'économie réalisée en papier, impression mais également en envoi postal.

Une manière bien sympathique d'allier économie et haute technologie en espérant que le résultat soit positif et que cela fasse des émules !

Listen to the Leading Voices bit.ly
Earlier this week, I blogged about Google Boutiques : a new way to shop on the web.

After a discussion I had at Devoxx with a smart person, it seems there is a name for what I feel will become very important for Internet Sales in the future :

the "leading voices"

What we can see in Boutiques is that product are not presented by themselves. They are presented by popular people who kind of tell us : "Hey this is cool".

Translated to eReading, it's very possible that you will rely on leading voices for choosing what to read : which ebooks should I buy ? which journalists are present on the web ?

Europe1 already made the shift. If you look at their website you will see only but leading voices...

Devoxx 2010: vive Java, noSQL et d’autres encore - Datanews.be: "l’événement est fréquenté ou supporté par pas moins de 67 groupes d’utilisateurs Java, ce qui signifie clairement que Devoxx constitue l’événement Java européen par excellence. Et il ne faut pas s’étonner qu’Oracle - conjointement avec Adobe et RedHat, les sponsors principaux de Devoxx - ait décidé de ne pas organiser son JavaOne en Europe, comme elle le fait dans d’autres parties du monde.
Cross Media Publishing Seminar: Visies en conclusies: "Cross Media Publishing Seminar: Visies en conclusies PDF Afdrukken

ipadpublishingDe komst van smartphones en nieuwe tablet computers zoals de iPad hebben ons als creatieve professionals en marketeers grondig wakker geschud. Opeens krijgen we nieuwe opportuniteiten om niet alleen via traditionele media met onze (potentiële) klanten te communiceren.Maar hoe moeten we hier nu mee omgaan? Hoe kunnen we nu best print, video, web en mobile communicatie op mekaar afstemmen?

Catena Company organiseerde op 21 oktober jongstleden een seminar, de verschillende visies en conclusies werden nu samengevat in een online presentatie."

Sun's take over by Oracle : the sun set... Mark Reinhold.
Focus for Java 7, 8, 9 :
  • Productivity,
  • Performance,
  • Universality,
  • Modularity (the classpath problem),
  • Integration
  • Serviceability
The State of the Web
  • Microsoft Statements about HTML5
  • Microsoft's Monopoly = a dynamic ecosystem that they have
  • A move from Silverlight to HTML 5 ?
  • Back in time 95, Google looked the same as today... while others...
  • Windows Presentation Foundation Vs OSX Cocoa Vs Adobe FX Vs Ruby Vs Java Vs Ajax
  • A new ecosystem : Apps
  • Kindle Singles (note for me: Edit Business eBooks as a Kindle Single)
  • $3.000.000.000 Mobile Apps economy
  • Getting rich with apps ?? Do the maths :-)))
  • Apps are content, it is a "hits" business
  • Flury Blog, measured 20% of the Apple Apps are equal or higher than TV audiences
  • Developers are connecting with mainstream
  • Pricing -- omnifocus for iPad $39 Vs ToDO Lists for iPad $0,99 optional donation
  • Apple Care DVD with one readme file to make the service tangible
  • Impact of the App ecosystem on the web. Web companies are delivering apps... providing something better than what they have on the web
  • Developper Mindshare (ex: Mozilla dev. who moved to iPhone)
  • Delta Airlines - Native App Vs WebApp. Native Apps receive the higher investments.
  • Twitter on iPad, as great app. (I Agree). Influence of the ipad design on the web design. HTML5 technology in there.
  • FlipBoard - Only on mobile devices. Don't bother going mobile.
  • Microsoft now embraces HTML5 because if Apps run on the Desktop, Microsoft is out of the game...
  • Conflict in the next years between Apps and HTML5 ecosystems

  • App Ecosystem success rely on Platform Distribution, Merchandising Experience, Platform Capabilities

  • J2ME : missed Disribution

  • Web : Distribution : a lot of Internet Browsers (IE6=90%), HTML5 browsers (10%), solution : Google Chrome Frame plug-in ? (can be run as a User and not as an Admin)
  • HTML 5 still fragmented : ex : HTML5 Video and Codex compatibility
  • What is HTML5 ? HTML5 an Friends...

  • Web: Merchandising ? Put ads, which pollute the UI, Subscriptions, Freemium models (parley)
  • With Apps, Merchandising is trivial. The web needs marketspaces - Mozilla Open Web App Store, Google "WebStore"

  • Web : Platform Capabilities, Luckilly, today 3 of the world's fastest browsers released get out at the same time :)
  • FireFox Tab Candy (todo:Check it)
  • WebGL 3D
  • --> The web needs deeper APIs and richer app frameworks
  • Javascript ? 
  • The web also missed a Permission model

  • Mainly missing for the web : Mechandising

  • The Web and mobile can work with each other and complement each other's gaps
  • Transforming apps to HTML5 --> CSS can say that the HTML would like to be "Native", CSS Transforms, Turning on CSS classes for animations, setting background as gradients, lovely rounded corners stuffs...
  • AppCelerator Titanium, architect an app with MVC

The Scala Programming Language | The Scala Programming Language: "For example, at Twitter, the social networking service, Robey Pointer moved their core message queue from Ruby to Scala. This change was driven by the company's need to reliably scale their operation to meet fast growing Tweet rates, already reaching 5000 per minute during the Obama Inauguration. Robeys thinking behind the Twitter Kestrel project is explained in the developers live journal. His concise 1500 lines of Scala code can be seen as he has generously made them available as an open source project."
