Two interesting pictures have crossed our desks today. First we got a still image of Steve Jobs showing off the iPad with what looks like a small camera type hole on it.

Apple's iPad -- a broken link?

It was really exciting to see some of the technologies that Adobe has contributed to, like PDF and ePub support, taking center stage in the launch. Adobe technology is at the center of virtually every print and digital workflow, so undoubtedly a lot of what you¹ll see getting delivered to the iPad will have originated in Adobe creative software.

Understanding Multi-tasking on the iPad: What is it really?
