The Changing Face of the Froyo Wars

,

With the sprawl of froyo shops all over Oahu, you know the Froyo Wars is on. Who’ll survive in this over-saturated market? Who’ll be the first casualty?

As with any successful campaign, changing the game is key to battle. Instead of fighting the enemy on their terms, you change things up and dictate your own conditions to do battle. Yogen Fruz is doing just that with their Smoothie candy. Not just fighting the froyo front, Yogen Fruz is expanding their battlefield to include the candy market.

Will this maneuver outpace Yogen Fruz from their froyo competition or will it split and weaken their forces?

Recreate the iPad Intro

,

Who will be the first designer to offer up a mock simulation of the scene at the Apple Event where the iPad was introduced?  I’m talking about bundling that iChair with that iTable, and maybe a bottle of that iWater with purchase of an iPad.

Watch or Wait?

,

In a few minutes, Apple’s special event is going to start with Steve Jobs announcing the McGraw-Hill announced tablet. Biggest question for me is do I “watch” the event unfold online or simply wait. Many, many sites offer live updates and tweets covering the event, but it’s maddening refreshing a bunch of web sites or catching 140-character tweets of news. And really, as the event happens in real time, how much updates can you expect every minute?

It’s almost a time saver to wait to the end or at least near the end of the event then catch up on sites like Gizmodo or Engadget. You probably can read all the live posted information in 10 minutes versus staying tuned for 60 minutes.

Adding to the time sink is actually watching the QuickTime video of the event. This is a must, more so with the introduction of a new Apple product. You heard about augmented reality with regards to iPhone apps? Watching Steve Jobs preside over an event is the definition of augmented reality!

So do I watch or wait?

I Like “Canvas”

, , ,

Macworld has a list of potential names for Apple’s forthcoming tablet. From their list, I like “Canvas”.

It’s already spreading around the Net about the CEO of McGraw-Hill spilling some beans about Apple’s product announcement tomorrow.

I’m still hoping for some kind of tethering or MiFi-like wireless sharing for the iPhone and Canvas combo. I really don’t want to pay yet another wireless bill for the Canvas.

Feasting on GaGa

, , ,

So the verdict is there cannot be too much GaGa. Lady GaGa is simply ubiquitous and cannot be denied. So if you’re a converted fan, you can feast on the popular music of GaGa at Amazon’s MP3 Store. For a limited time, Amazon is offering The Fame for only $5.

You’re talking Just Dance, LoveGame, Paparazzi, Poker Face, and all other The Fame tracks for one Abe Lincoln.

If that’s not enough GaGa to feast on, how about munching on these GaGa inspired cookies? Oops, it appears that too many like munching on GaGa since the server is currently offline. 🙁
