Yesterday, during the presentation of the Apple’s iPad Event, Steve Jobs has used Kindle the product of ebook reader from Amazon, in relation to the (previous) reference category, from the new of Apple’s product.

The difference is quite clear between the kindle a black and white Vs iPad the bright colorful screen, certainly not escaped the attention of the amazon.

Amazon claims that iPad will never be a “Kindle killer”, as predicted during the keynote presentation yesterday. And for two main reasons: the battery duration is too short just 10 hours, against the weeks of ebook devices with electronic ink technology. And the cost from the device, the Kindle would be more economical than iPad in every respect: for the cost of the platform, the cost of books and operational costs for the connection (in the U.S. is zero, since the telephone connection free of charge throughout the life of the device).

After listing these and other disadvantages of iPad, Blog Kindle will pass in review the merits. Slyly, all are quite marginal (for example, one is simply: “Apple is cool”). Not only that at the end of the post, it says that the first iPhone almost seen as a joke, said the writer and you have to wait at least the second generation because “the ugly duckling turned into a swan.” The same, according to Amazon, it will be for iPad. As if to say, hope to secure another year with almost monopoly in the virtual store ebooks. We’ll see.

Apple is working to design a new retail store where the a new prototype for the company will be based in Palo Alto, California. The controller design of the project has already written a letter to the mayor of California, with the specifications really tasty and intriguing about what could be the future of the retail sale of Apple products.

Half of the store will be devoted to a space dedicated to training and services dedicated to business and consumer customers, the other half will be devoted to the sale itself. This, according to excerpts of the letter published on the Mercury News of San Jose.

The store is described as completely transparent, with trees that grow inside, with great preference for natural light. The same pavement opposite the entrance of the shop will be redesigned to ensure that “the customer is already inside the store first came to be there.” The architect, needless to say, is Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the same charge of the Store’s 5th Avenue in New York.
