This is a video that Rob Parker shot and edited in about 20 minutes during the Philadelphia PowerBook User Group (PPUG) meeting in Manayunk. Have you ever seen such a cast of characters?

Speaking on the iPad and other mobile-centric gadgetry were Jason O’Grady, Youngmoo Kim and Bob Snow.

This video was shot on the Canon 7D using an old fully manual Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens. A real beauty. Parker shot on a custom neutral video setting with no correction of any kind done to the final video. What you see is what he saw.

Now that Apple has announced the iPad, where does it fit in the mobile technology landscape? Does it overlap with the iPhone and the MacBook? Or does it fit exactly in-between the two?  At PPUG’s March 2010 meeting, Jason will dissect the pros and cons of Apple’s new “tablet” Mac and will discuss its advantages and disadvantages over a netbook.  If you’re thinking about the iPad, come to the March meeting and we’ll set your straight.
