Just saw this on Gizmodo. This thing is so cool and I hope that some of my buddies going to WPPI get a chance to snag some of them. You hear that guys? I’m sending you there with a wishlist.
I have written about Google Wave before. I discussed its general usefulness here and also did a write up on how Google Wave could benefit the wedding services industry, in particular wedding photographers. I still stand by most of what I said. It was a great product, full of potential. It...

Unless you have been absent from reality the last few weeks, I am sure you have heard about Apple’s latest consumer product release, the iPad.
