Two Speeches Today
Seems like all the predictions that Apple's latest uncreatively-named project would have some crazy UI innovation were off. Not that there isn't a space for a giant iPod Touch in the netbook market, and the iPad will probably eat the Kindle's lunch. And it may well achieve iPod-like dominance in a new class of mobile devices.
Speaking of much-anticipated speeches, the State of the Union speech is this evening. Obama evidently plans to announce a spending freeze on some tiny fraction of the federal budget, which "fiscally conservative" Republicans will still probably manage to oppose somehow. I doubt that's all Obama has in store, though: Obama can give a pretty good speech, this is probably his best chance to make a substantial change in political direction, and if he doesn't, the Democrats are going to be slaughtered at the polls in November.
