Auto dealers and social media
Most dealers just don't get it.

If you only knew how many tweets and facebook posts I see a day that
ate nothing more than an ad you would buy a bullet and rent a gun...
They have to be doing more harm than good. Don't get me wrong, there
are some who do a good job but for the most part it's frightening....
Just add value. Stop "spamming" and give the people interested
something they could use.
I wonder how many followers a dealer would have if their account name
was "dealership ads and spam".
It's not that difficult. But it is a fundemental change in thinking.

Apple Tablet rumors: 3G, dual dock connectors, user interface

1. The tablet will have dual dock connectors: one on the bottom just like the iPhone and iPod touch, and one on the long side so you can charge the device in landscape orientation.
2. Similar to the original iPhone, which had a mostly aluminum back, the tablet has a metal backside with a long, non-metal strip allowing for wireless access. There could be any number of antennae behind that strip, from the 802.11g wireless currently in iPods and iPhones, to 802.11n for faster networking, and even - potentially - a 3G antenna. iLounge goes on to speculate what sort of fees might be involved with the tablet's data services through a provider like Verizon or AT
Streaming audio and video from home to my iPhone just amazes me.
Using programs like Simplfy Media and Remote Buddy I can stream all my
media stored on an external hard drive at home to my phone. Sounds
cool huh? But think about it....

That media has to leave my home, and bounce off cell towers to get to
my phone. Doesn't matter if I'm down the street or 3000 miles away.
The fact that it can do that is just amazing. Crazy.
Yet I still find myself bitching when it takes a few seconds to buffer
or it's not cd quality.
I guess my point is when you think about what this tech has to do
maybe I should give it a break if I have to wait 5 extra seconds to
enjoy it.

Most companies could learn a thing or two from Apple. Stop with the vaporware.
You know what impresses me about Apple? They don't attend all the
industry shows and show off stuff they "might" do.

industry shows and show off stuff they "might" do.
When Apple shows a new product it's a product that is in production
and in many cases can be purchased that very same day.
When companies display their future products, many of which never make
it to production I have two think it devalues the brand and the
technology they are displaying, giving other companies time to get
into the game and push the price down. Sure that's good for the
consumer but maybe not so much for the company and it's stock holders.
Maybe the auto industry should give this a try. I mean how long has GM
being talking about the Volt? 2 years? Still have yet to see one on
the road... What could have sold for 40k is now set for failure at
30k. How's that for a hit to your gross?
Point is, dont talk about it. Make it. If you believe in your product
like you say, you will make it work.
Good game Apple.
Apples forth coming tablet is "traditional" medias last chance at relevancy.
No one is picking up a newspaper anymore. How many of the top 10
newspapers are in financial trouble? 8? Despite their bloated
cirrculation numbers, the proof is in the financial statement. I liken
it to General Motors and their bloated sales numbers. Do units sold in
fleet to companies they own actually count??

Anyway, if print media doesn't jump on board with this kind of device,
their days ate numbered just Luke their existing customer base.
Eventually they will die. How long can "dad" actually hang on? It's
only a matter of time before dad hits play on the VCR to watch his
favorite Woody Allen tape for the last time. When he goes so does his
subscription.
To dig deeper, advertisers must also adapt to a new business model.
Maybe it's a co-op on hardware? I don't have the answer but I know
they have to change. It's no longer a push marketing enviroment. Hasnt
been for some time now despite what advertisers say. They need to
figure out how to make pull marketing work.
And this device could be the ticket.
I've always said "the content should be free, the hardware is where
you get them" (cell phone industry model ring a bell?) It's much
easier, and less expensive, to catch a hardware thief. So unless the
New York Times has plans for some type of hardware, consumers will
find other ways to get the content they want.
Hey print media..... Here's you chance.

WSJ: Tablet confirmed, Apple to reinvent old media
"WSJ: Tablet confirmed, Apple to reinvent old media" - TUAW.com
In all the years I have spent as an Apple fan, following various rumor sources and keeping my own mental list of who had the most credibility on various types of Apple theories, I never thought in all my days I would ever read, let alone write, the following sentence: The Wall Street Journal has just announced that Apple is releasing a tablet computer.

In all the years I have spent as an Apple fan, following various rumor sources and keeping my own mental list of who had the most credibility on various types of Apple theories, I never thought in all my days I would ever read, let alone write, the following sentence: The Wall Street Journal has just announced that Apple is releasing a tablet computer.
All of their information is centered on the alleged mystery device that will allegedly be announced at a now official event next week. Here are some of the juicier tidbits they passed on from those mysterious people "familiar with" what's happening on Inifinite Loop:
- Always partial to the education market, one thing this device might be used for is e-textbooks, presumably including the sort of multimedia content that goes beyond the printed page.
- Textbook publishers aren't the only publishers Apple has been talking to. They're chatting up Conde Nast, Harper Collins, The New York Times, and even CBS, Walt Disney Co, and Electronic Arts (for games).
- A "Best of TV" service is possible, with a subscription to a set of on demand programs chosen by the consumer.
- Those same people are also reporting there is a revamp of iTunes coming, which would separate the purchase of iTunes content from the iTunes application.
- The device will have a 10 or 11 inch screen, a virtual keyboard, and "sharing" is mentioned -- two ideas being thrown around are the ability to leave sticky notes on the device or even have the camera recognize faces of those using it.
- Price is expected to be around $1000, and they'll be selling it to people who already have iPhones and laptops as well.
Of course the piece itself doesn't have a full confirmation from Jobs, so we'll have to wait until next Wednesday for that: Apple's invitation to the media event on January 27th is titled "Come see our latest creation", and is generally considered to be the public debut of a tablet-style device. But when the Wall Street Journal says there's a tablet coming, there's very likely a tablet coming, and if everything they're saying about this device is true (which would make sense -- we've heard most of it before in rumor form), look out world.

Rumor: Apple tablet said to be "iPhone on steroids
"Rumor: Apple tablet said to be "iPhone on steroids"" - TUAW.com
Read more!
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/01/13/rumor-apple-tablet-said-to-be-iphone-on-steroids/?icid=px-iphone
If there's anything consistently consistent about the purported Apple tablet, it's that it's said to be, in essence, a larger iPhone. Expanding on this, Boy Genius Report cites its "close Apple contact" that claims the device is "an iPhone on steroids."
Like its iPhone brethren, the tablet is said to sport an ARM processor, adding the caveat that the processor will be "incredibly fast." Also according to the report, the tablet will support multi-touch gestures that are said to be "out of control." Back in 2005, Apple acquired FingerWorks, a company that specialized in gesture-based computing. According to former Apple engineers, FingerWorks will have its footprint -- er, fingerprints -- on the purported tablet.
The meat behind these potatoes is said to be the iPhone OS kernel. For this reason, there hasn't been an updated build of the iPhone OS out of fears that tablet-related references in the code would leak.

At least Ford gets it.... "MyFord Touch coming to 2011 Ford Focus"
Check out: "MyFord Touch coming to 2011 Ford Focus" - www.engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/myford-touch-coming-to-2011-ford-focus/?icid=engadget-iphone-url 
The 2010 Detroit Auto Show has just kicked off and Ford's plans for the 2011 Focus have been made official. While others might care more about the 155bhp or new six-speed dual-clutch transmission, we're best pleased by the inclusion of the MyFord touch control system. This setup was designed to drag the car dash into the modern touchscreen era, and our comprehensive hands-on revealed it to be a most impressive bit of tech. Two displays flank the analog speed gauge, but the piegrave;ce de reacute;sistance is an 8-inch, 800 x 480 optional screen landing in the center of the dash. Endued with a web browser, it'll connect via 3G or 4G modems and concurrently act as a WiFi hotspot. Add in a bunch of forthcoming apps and compatibility with any Bluetooth device, and you've got a tech lover's dream system. The next generation Focus should enter production near the end of 2010, giving us a full year to write a "vroom, vroom" app for our smartphones.

"WSJ: Apple tablet device to be 10 inches, "shipping in March."" - TUAW.com
This overlaps with a few predictions on the topic naming 10" as the proposed size of the device, and adds yet another example where rumor has risen above the tech/Apple blogosphere to more general news sources.
All eyes on the January 27th event.
(Thanks to John H. for the tip.)

My damn idea 2 YEARS AGO !!! "Ford to offer iTunes tagging in their cars"
"Ford to offer iTunes tagging in their cars" - TUAW.com
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/01/02/ford-to-offer-itunes-tagging-in-their-cars/?icid=px-iphone
It'd be nice to have the song automatically sent to iTunes (or even transmitted via Bluetooth to your iPhone -- maybe even via an official app -- next time it happens to be near the car), but one step at a time, I guess. Don't forget that you don't even need this option to mark any music you happen to hear: if you have an iPhone, you can use Shazam's iPhone app to listen in, tell you whatever the song is, and save it for purchase later if you want. It's a free download in iTunes, lots cheaper than a brand new car.
