Ta-Da. Alaska iPhone Developer now an iPad Developer Too.

Today I just sprouted a new limb. Apple announced the iPad and suddenly I not only develop apps, games and media for the iPhone–but for the iPad too. It’s pretty cool. Thanks Steve!

My cousin and I have started chatting about possibilities. He is an noted author in Colorado Springs. Keith is a ghost writer for several celebrities. One of his books has been popular enough for Walmart to add it to their inventory. We are both stoked. The iPad won’t just be about a new device. I think we are going to see a new culture of media where there is more viable for-pay Internet content.

The free Internet isn’t working for newspapers, magazines and publishers and I still suspect that if push comes to shove customers will still belly up and pay for good media. Steve Jobs certainly helps those prospects. Remember when iTunes launched people suspected whether anyone would pay for tunes that they could so easily pirate songs for nothing.
