I love Stephen Fry’s writing. As I sit here syncing an iPad for the first time I read:
What Willie Wonka was to Charlie, Steve Jobs is to me

iPad aftermath
TidBITS has a nice photo tour of the iPad launch, including pics of Xeni Jardin, Stephen Fry and some John Gruber amongst other Mac luminaries.
Daring Fireball and Stephen note that the iPad web page rendering is much faster than on the iPhone, presumably due to the A4 processor. I just want to know if it supports more than 8 pages open (which is the limit in the iPhone version of Safari).
Check out the above Stephen Fry link for his most excellent take on the iPad launch, including such gems as:
I’m not advocating dumb gullibility, but it is has always amused me that those who instinctively dislike Apple for being apparently cool, trendy, design fixated and so on are the ones who are actually so damned cool and so damned sensitive to stylistic nuance that they can’t bear to celebrate or recognise obvious class, beauty and desire. The fact is that Apple users like me are the uncoolest people on earth: we salivate, dribble, coo, sigh, grin and bubble with delight.
Stephen Fry blogs on the iPhone
Further proving that he is just many kinds of awesome, Stephen Fry blogs about the iPhone. His approach to Apple tech reminds me a lot of the late great Douglas Adams…
More reassuringly, he carries around more gadgets than I do!
