Today’s announcement was eagerly anticipated for several months.

For all the key updates please review www.Apple.com

What is clear is that the transition is continuing, and the strategic vision of Apple is being rolled out step by step.

The dictation features are bringing to reality the very features that were seen as essential decades ago, the unification of devices (e.g. phone to camera) continues with improved camera aperture/shutter speeds meaning that the devices will be working closer to the core features of a traditional point and shoot.

As we all move more and more to the “cloud” and living a permanently “online” life, the quality of recordings/images continues to be a question to consider, coupled with the need for intelligent scaleable hosting.

The reliance on a monopoly supplier compared to the worlds of “open source” or more personalized PC universe, I still feel represent an area of discussion.

However once you’ve had things working, standing for philosophical points of view may change.

If we look at the worlds of TIVO, Sky+ and others, the future we feel stays strong for apple.

There are many more announcements and considerations which we will be sharing with www.TheFutureBrokers.com

Now, let me ask you a few questions (an inquiry if you will)…

1) Are you excited about this release?

2) Is it recently that Apple launched the iPad?

3) Is it surprising that Skype didn’t launch an app for the iPad sooner?

4) Are you aware of the recent corporate events that occurred:

between Apple and Skype

between Skype and Microsoft

between Skype and Facebook

5) Are you aware that things are becoming more connected?

6) Are you just happy you can now more easily talk to your friends, partners, kids, grandkids (delete as appropriate)?

Due to the nature of my contractuals at www.PsiPi.com I am not able to share all we know, but we’re glad that the App is now launched. This does present a key opportunity and we’ll be sharing more to our insiders at www.WebDomination.com and www.TheSimpleIdea.com

Skype for iPad is beautifully designed and optimized for the iPad. It offers the best of both worlds for users who want a larger Skype experience, on-the-go. The large iPad screen is perfect for bringing Skype video calls to life, in either landscape or portrait view, and because it is on the iPad, Skype video calls can be made at the beach, in a car or even lying on a couch.

Not only does Skype for iPad feature an interface that takes advantage of the large screen, but there are a number of additional iPad-optimized features found in this new app, including:

* Two-way video calling.* With Skype video calling available on iPhones, as well as in Skype for Android, Skype for Mac, Skype for Windows, Skype on HDTVs and more – you can connect to over 170 million Skype connected users worldwide**.

* Instant messaging. You can even instant message during a video call on your iPad, with emoticons to personalize your message.

* Simple to view contacts. Contacts are now displayed in a grid on Skype for iPad, showing large avatar photos – making it easy to find your contacts and conversations.

* Easy navigation. Find your recent Skype conversations and history at the touch of a button making searching simple.

* Simple SMS texting. An SMS text message can be sent by simply opening a contact and selecting SEND SMS or by opening the dial pad, typing in the number you wish to SMS and then typing your message.

The new Skype for iPad app also takes full advantage of the iPad 2′s dual cameras, allowing users to talk face-to-face with the iPad’s front camera or switch to the rear camera to show what they can see. Skype for iPad also allows users to call landlines and mobiles using Skype’s great low rates – all a user needs is a little Skype Credit. Skype for iPad works across both 3G*** and Wi-Fi networks and also allows users to make voice and video calls across platforms from their iPad to other Skype users on iPhones, Mac, Windows, HDTVs and more.

We currently have three applications on the www.Apple.com app store : iPrioritize , Happy Thoughts App , and Stroke The Pussy-Cat .

These applications have been downloaded by literally thousands of people all over the world.

We’ve had feedback from people in many different countries, and opportunities opening up as a result, that are truly amazing.

I most love how a simple idea (www.TheSimpleIdea.com) starts to make this all possible.

We’ve also been able to build joint ventures and strategic alliances which we hope will stand the test of time.

What are the key components?

1) Well first is staying in Postive and not taking things personally - easier said than done – especially as you start to play a bigger and bigger game (though as they say, there is “Magic in Thinking Big”). Happy Thoughts App will help with this and actually was derived and built on some of the training I’d had over decades of martial arts, human potential work and working in banking.

2) Remaining in Communication

When things come up, the first step is to always remain in communication. That means not judging, or making rapid decisions, and also being responsible. It’s all too easy for people to lash out on email and not remain focussed on what actually matters.

Most people are intelligent and self-responsible. There are often more impacts than we realise.

This is improved when people are real partners 50/50 or 30/30/30 or real vested in the outcome. All too often however contractors or service providers are not stake holders in their clients and I think that is a shame.

We are clearer now on how to build apps that get a great result, accomplish their goals and have a legacy and base for the future. We look forward to showing you what we have planned.. with TUI and TUE.. watch this space..

What I think is most exciting, is that with just 30mins of “training”, basically me talking her through some simple things over a cup of tea, she is now a fully functional, communication enabled, optimised human.. ok.. maybe a bit ott.., however it’s great to see that she sees what will be possible for her, for her grandson and for all of us as we start to take on board, the new advancements and allow ourselves to have technology work for us again, and not the other way around.. This is what I’ve been committed to at Psi Pi Group (www.psipi.com) from day 1.. and probably since I was 6 years old..

Anyway, I’ll let mum’s word speak for themselves..

===================
