Instapaper on iPad

Instapaper on iPad

I’m probably supposed to keep this secret and build everyone’s anticipation to hype this up. Oh well. Maybe I’ll do that for the Instapaper edition for Apple’s next revolutionary computing platform.

First: Instapaper is definitely coming to iPad.

Second: Instapaper is coming to iPad very soon. Possibly even on day one — yes, I’m going for it — but that’s optimistic.

Awww, yeah.

Joel Johnson masterfully takes on our digital and analog impermanence.

Ignore the domain and go ahead and read this (skip the dumb comments). More technology writing – hell, more writing – should be as thoughtful.

On this, iPad reservation day (I have a 32GB on hold at my local Apple store), Plastic Logic says that they’re pushing their release back until summer for some “tweaking”.

In case you haven’t been following along, the Que is billed as a “professional document reader” that will open Office docs and PDF files on a black and white e-paper screen. The high end model has 8 gigs of storage, WiFi + 3G and costs $800. It seems aimed squarely at business customers (“transfer files from your Blackberry”) not consumers, per se.

You don’t need me to make the bullet point comparison to the iPad, I’ll just say that I’m not exactly bullish on the Que.
